DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 A car thermostat assembly device includes a base 1, a rotating part 3 is installed on the base 1, a bearing platform 2 is rotatably installed on the rotating part 3, a worm gear 24 is rotatably installed inside the bearing platform 2, a vortex slide 25 is fixedly provided on the worm gear 24, a slider 26 is slidably installed on the vortex slide 25, a clamping member 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 26, the clamping member 22 is vertical and passes through the slide 21, the width of the clamping member 22 is the same as the width of the slide 21, the slide 21 is opened on the top of the bearing platform 2, and the slide 21 is arranged around the support component 4.

[0023] A worm 23 is rotatably mounted inside the supporting platform 2 , and the worm 23 is meshed with a worm wheel 24 . One end of the worm 23 is disposed outside the supporting platform 2 and is provided with a rotation slot.

[0024] Specifically, the thermostat housing to be assembled is placed on the support platform 2, positioned above the support assembly 4 and within the area enclosed by the clamping member 22. An external force is applied to the rotation groove at one end of the worm 23 to rotate the worm 23. Because the worm 23 meshes with the worm wheel 24, its rotation drives the worm wheel 24 to rotate synchronously. As the worm wheel 24 rotates, the volute slide 25 affixed thereto also rotates, causing the slider 26 mounted on the volute slide 25 to slide along the slide, constrained by the groove 21. Simultaneously, the sliding of the slider 26 drives the top clamping member 22 to move within the groove 21 atop the support platform 2. Because the groove 21 surrounds the support assembly 4, multiple clamping members 22 can simultaneously move toward the center or outward, enabling the clamping or releasing of housings of different shapes and sizes. When the clamping member 22 moves toward the center, it gradually approaches the shell and eventually clamps it; conversely, when the clamping member 22 moves outward, it releases the clamping of the shell.

[0025] The worm 23 can drive the worm gear 24 to rotate, and the position of the clamping piece 22 can be flexibly adjusted, so that the thermostat shell of different shapes and sizes can be adapted, and different load fixtures need not be replaced for each shell, which greatly improves the versatility and application range of the equipment.

[0026] In order to avoid the influence of the shell side inclined pipe on the clamping effect of the shell, please refer to Figures 1-4 On the basis of embodiment 1, the support assembly 4 comprises a support frame 41 fixedly installed on the bearing table 2, and a screw rod 42 is spirally connected in the support frame 41.

[0027] The top of the screw rod 42 is fixedly installed with a handle 43, the handle 43 is fixedly provided with a buffer pad 44, and limit grooves 421 are formed on both sides of the screw rod 42.

[0028] A moving groove 46 is formed in the support frame 41, and a limiting rod 45 is slidably arranged in the moving groove 46, the limiting rod 45 is fixedly installed with a positioning ring, the positioning ring on the limiting rod 45 is matched with the moving groove 46, and the positioning ring on the limiting rod 45 is connected with the inner wall of the moving groove 46 through a spring 47.

[0029] One end of the limiting rod 45 is inserted into the limiting groove 421, and the other end of the limiting rod 45 is fixedly connected with a pull handle, and the pull handle on the limiting rod 45 is arranged outside the moving groove 46.

[0030] Specifically, the screw rod 42 is spirally raised or lowered in the support frame 41 by rotating the handle 43, and the height of the screw rod 42 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height position of the shell side inclined pipe, so that the top can contact and support the bottom of the shell, prevent the shell from being inclined or shaken due to the contact between the side inclined pipe and the bearing table 2 during clamping, and the buffer pad 44 is located between the top of the screw rod 42 and the shell when the support assembly 4 supports the shell. Because it is relatively soft, it can avoid rigid collision between the screw rod 42 and the shell, thereby preventing scratches, wear and even indentation on the surface of the shell during clamping and supporting, and protecting the appearance integrity of the shell;

[0031] When the height of the screw rod 42 needs to be adjusted, the pull handle on the limiting rod 45 is pulled to make one end of the limiting rod 45 out of the limiting groove 421. The limiting rod 45 is fixedly installed with a positioning ring, which is matched with the moving groove 46 and connected with the inner wall of the moving groove 46 through the spring 47. When the pull handle is pulled to move the limiting rod 45 outward, the spring 47 is compressed to store elastic potential energy. When the pull handle is released, the spring 47 releases the elastic potential energy to automatically reset the limiting rod 45, so that the one end of the limiting rod 45 is reinserted into the limiting groove 421 of the screw rod 42. When the limiting rod 45 is inserted into the limiting groove 421, the screw rod 42 can be prevented from accidentally rotating due to vibration or other external factors during equipment operation, so as to ensure that the screw rod 42 is stably maintained at the set height position, guarantee the continuous and effective support to the shell, and maintain the stable clamping state of the shell.

[0032] Working principle: According to the height of the shell side inclined pipe, the height of the supporting assembly 4 is adjusted, the pull handle on the limiting rod 45 is pulled to make one end of the limiting rod 45 out of the limiting groove 421, at this time the spring 47 is compressed, the screw rod 42 is rotated to drive the screw rod 42 to spiral ascend or descend in the supporting frame 41, the height of the screw rod 42 is flexibly adjusted according to the height of the side inclined pipe, and the limiting groove 421 corresponds to the limiting rod 45, after the pull handle is released, the spring 47 releases the elastic potential energy to reset the limiting rod 45, and reinserts the limiting rod 45 into the limiting groove 421 of the screw rod 42, so as to prevent the screw rod 42 from accidentally rotating due to vibration and other external forces, and ensure that it is stably set at the set height;

[0033] The thermostat shell is placed on the bearing table 2, so that it is above the supporting assembly 4 and located in the area surrounded by the clamping piece 22. Then, an external force is applied to one end of the worm 23 to make it rotate. Because the worm 23 is engaged with the worm gear 24, the rotation of the worm 23 drives the rotation of the worm gear 24, and then the rotation of the worm gear 24 drives the rotation of the vortex slide 25 on the worm gear 24. The slide block 26 installed on the vortex slide 25 is limited by the slide groove 21 to slide along the slide, and at the same time, the slide block 26 drives the top clamping piece 22 to move in the slide groove 21 on the top of the bearing table 2. A plurality of clamping pieces 22 simultaneously move towards the center or outward, realizing the clamping or loosening operation of different shapes and sizes of shells, and facilitating the equipment to install the valve core in the shell.

[0034] The basic principle and main features of the present application and the advantages of the present application are shown and described above. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present application. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application. Any reference signs in the claims should not be considered as limiting the claims involved.

[0035] In addition, it should be understood that, although the present application is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be properly combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
