[0018] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 A tank connector assembly fixture includes a drive motor 1, a drive shaft 2, a locking sleeve 3, a positioning block 4, a fixing cylinder 5, and a fixing gripper 6. The drive motor 1 is connected to the drive shaft 2. The locking sleeve 3 is provided on the drive shaft 2. The locking sleeve 3 is opposite to the positioning block 4, and a product placement station is formed between the locking sleeve 3 and the positioning block 4. The fixing gripper 6 is located on one side of the product placement station, and the fixing cylinder 5 is connected to the fixing gripper 6.

[0020] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: after the tank and its connector are simply assembled, it is placed in the product placement station, and the positioning block 4 is positioned and cooperates with the back of the tank. The fixing cylinder 5 drives the fixing claw 6 to press and fix the bottom support of the tank. The tank and the connector are fitted into the locking sleeve 3. Then, under the drive of the drive motor 1, the drive shaft 2 and the locking sleeve 3 are rotated so that the connector is locked into the tank, and the locking operation of the tank connector is quickly realized.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking sleeve 3 is movable along the length direction of the drive shaft 2.

[0022] As can be seen from the above description, through the movable design of the locking sleeve 3, after the tank body joint is locked, the locking sleeve 3 can be directly removed to quickly take out the tank.

[0023] Furthermore, a spring 7 is sleeved on the drive shaft 2, and the locking sleeve 3 abuts against the spring 7.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description, the design of the spring 7 allows the locking sleeve 3 to slide during the placement of the can to avoid interference with the can and its joint. After the can is assembled at the product placement station, the locking sleeve 3 moves toward the can joint under the action of the spring 7 to automatically fit it.

[0025] Furthermore, a sliding handle 8 protrudes from the locking sleeve 3.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the design of the sliding handle 8 facilitates the operator's sliding operation of the locking sleeve 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the sliding handle 8 is provided with multiple circumferentially along the locking sleeve 3.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, the design of multiple sliding handles 8 ensures that the locking sleeve 3 can be rotated at any angle, so that the sliding handles 8 can be close to the operator's position, making it convenient for the operator to perform sliding operations without having to change the operator's position.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning block 4 is movable along the length direction of the drive shaft 2.

[0030] As described above, the movable design of positioning block 4 allows the length of the product placement station to be adjusted to accommodate tanks of different sizes.

[0031] Furthermore, the fixed gripper 6 and the fixed cylinder 5 are movable along the height direction of the product placement station.

[0032] As described above, the movable design of the fixed gripper 6 and the fixed cylinder 5 allows the height of the product placement station to be adjusted to accommodate tanks of different sizes.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes a support plate 9, which abuts against the lower side of the locking sleeve 3.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, the support plate 9 provides mutual support to the locking sleeve 3, preventing the excessively long drive shaft 2 and locking sleeve 3 from shaking due to the rotational inertia of their ends during rotation, which would affect the accuracy of the tank joint assembly. At the same time, it can strengthen the strength of the drive shaft 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the support plate 9 is provided with an arc-shaped opening that cooperates with the locking sleeve 3, and a plurality of balls are provided along the edge of the arc-shaped opening.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the arc-shaped opening of the support plate 9 and the design of its ball bearings prevent the locking sleeve 3 from being damaged due to excessive friction with the support plate 9 when it rotates.

[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a controller 10, which is located on one side of the product placement station and is electrically connected to the drive motor 1 and the fixed cylinder 5.

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the controller 10 can control the opening and closing of the drive motor 1 and the fixed cylinder 5.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] A tank connector assembly fixture includes a drive motor 1, a drive shaft 2, a locking sleeve 3, a positioning block 4, a fixing cylinder 5, and a fixing gripper 6. The drive motor 1 is drivenly connected to the drive shaft 2. The locking sleeve 3 is mounted on the drive shaft 2. The locking sleeve 3 is opposite to the positioning block 4, and a product placement station is formed between the locking sleeve 3 and the positioning block 4. The fixing gripper 6 is located on one side of the product placement station, and the fixing cylinder 5 is drivenly connected to the fixing gripper 6. Specifically, if the tank connector has a hexagonal nut structure, the inner diameter of the locking sleeve 3 is also set to the same hexagonal nut shape as the tank connector.

[0041] The locking sleeve 3 is movable along the length of the drive shaft 2. A spring 7 is fitted on the drive shaft 2, and the locking sleeve 3 abuts against the spring 7. A sliding handle 8 protrudes from the locking sleeve 3. Multiple sliding handles 8 are provided around the circumference of the locking sleeve 3.

[0042] The positioning block 4 is movable along the length of the drive shaft 2. The fixed gripper 6 and the fixed cylinder 5 are movable along the height of the product placement station.

[0043] It also includes a support plate 9, which abuts against the lower side of the locking sleeve 3. The support plate 9 is provided with an arc-shaped opening that cooperates with the locking sleeve 3, and a plurality of balls are provided along the edge of the arc-shaped opening.

[0044] It also includes a controller 10, which is located on one side of the product placement station and is electrically connected to the drive motor 1 and the fixed cylinder 5.

[0045] In summary, the tank connector assembly fixture provided by this utility model allows the tank and its connector to be simply assembled and placed at the product placement station. The positioning block engages with the back of the tank, and the fixing cylinder drives the fixing jaws to press and fix the bottom support of the tank. The tank and the connector are then fitted into the locking sleeve. Subsequently, under the drive of the drive motor, the drive shaft and the locking sleeve rotate to lock the connector into the tank, thus quickly realizing the locking operation of the tank connector.
