Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water collection cup installation technology, and more specifically, to an installation device for water collection cups. Background Technology
[0002] In a fuel filter, the water collection cup is primarily used to remove water contained in gasoline and diesel fuel, ensuring the proper functioning of the engine's combustion system. The design and installation method of the water collection cup are crucial to the equipment's performance and ease of use. The water collection cup in a fuel filter typically consists of a cup cap, which can be installed manually or automatically. However, both methods have some drawbacks, affecting usability and maintenance efficiency.
[0003] Manually installed water collection cup lids require operators to manually tighten or secure them during installation or removal. This involves significant manual intervention and is inconvenient, especially during manual installation, which can easily lead to a poor seal. Automatic installation systems for water collection cup lids and bodies offer greater convenience and ease of operation. However, current automatic installation systems are technologically complex, increasing the structural complexity of the equipment and production and maintenance costs.
[0004] Therefore, while automated installation can reduce manual intervention and improve operational efficiency, its technical complexity and potential failure risks typically require higher costs and may present adaptability issues in certain environments. In practical applications, balancing the advantages and disadvantages of both is a crucial consideration when installing fuel filter water cups. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation device for a water collection cup to solve the above problems.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following solution:
[0007] This application provides an installation device for a water-collecting cup, including a workbench, a clamping mechanism, and a torque gun. The workbench has a support frame on its surface. The clamping mechanism includes a cylinder mounted on the workbench and a clamping component driven by the cylinder to open and close to fix or release the cup body of the water-collecting cup. The torque gun is mounted on the support frame and is used to attach the cup lid of the water-collecting cup. The support frame includes a gantry frame, sliding rods formed on both sides of the gantry frame, and a matching sliding base. The sliding base has a mounting plate, and the torque gun is adjustablely mounted on the mounting plate. The torque gun has a sleeve that is adapted to engage the cup lid. After adjusting the position of the torque gun so that the cup lid on the sleeve and the cup body on the clamping component are aligned and engaged, the torque gun operates to drive the sleeve to screw the cup lid into the cup body.
[0008] As a further improvement, the torque gun includes a motor that provides rotational power and an output component that is drive-connected to the motor, the output component being connected to the sleeve component.
[0009] As a further improvement, the sleeve and the cup lid are detachably fastened together, used to fix the cup lid to be installed on the torque gun and to separate from the cup lid after installation.
[0010] As a further improvement, the support frame and the clamping element cooperate to initially limit the cup body and cup lid they clamp to the same cross-sectional position.
[0011] As a further improvement, the mounting plate is configured to allow the torque gun to move flexibly in the horizontal direction toward the X-axis, and the slide table to move in the vertical direction toward the Z-axis.
[0012] As a further improvement, the mounting plate is provided with a wrench for locking the limit torque gun after movement.
[0013] As a further improvement, the gantry frame is mounted on the workbench via a fixed flange.
[0014] As a further improvement, the clamping component is mounted on the worktable via a base plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0016] 1. The installation device for water-collecting cups in this application, through the configured clamping mechanism and torque gun, realizes the automated installation of water-collecting cups. The clamping mechanism can fix or release the cup body, while the torque gun is used to tighten the cup lid, reducing manual operation and significantly improving installation efficiency.
[0017] 2. Among them, the gantry structure of the support frame and the adjustable lifting of the sliding rod and sliding table allow the position of the torque gun to be precisely adjusted, ensuring that the sleeve and the cup body can be aligned and engaged, effectively avoiding possible misalignment problems during the cup lid installation process, thereby improving the accuracy of automatic installation.
[0018] 3. The automated installation process reduces manual intervention and the labor intensity of operators, while also avoiding potential safety hazards that may be caused by manual installation, such as improper installation or damage to components due to excessive torque.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.
[0026] Example
[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an installation device for a water-collecting cup, including a workbench 1, a clamping mechanism 2, and a torque gun 3. The workbench 1 has a support frame 4 on its surface. The clamping mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 5 disposed on the workbench and a clamping component 6 driven by the cylinder 5 to open and close to fix or release the cup body A of the water-collecting cup. The torque gun 3 is disposed on the support frame 4 and is used to attach the cup lid B of the water-collecting cup.
[0028] The support frame 4 includes a gantry frame 7, sliding rods 8 formed on both sides of the gantry frame 7, and a matching sliding platform. A mounting plate 10 is provided on the sliding platform, and the torque gun 3 is adjustablely mounted on the mounting plate 10. The torque gun 3 has a sleeve 11 adapted to engage the cup lid B. After adjusting the position of the torque gun 3 so that the cup lid B on the sleeve 11 and the cup body A on the clamping member 6 are directly opposite each other, the torque gun 3 operates to drive the sleeve 11 to screw the cup lid B into the cup body A.
[0029] The aforementioned installation equipment for water-collecting cups, through the configured clamping mechanism 2 and torque gun 3, achieves automated installation of the water-collecting cups. The clamping mechanism 2 can fix or release the cup body A, while the torque gun 3 is used to tighten the cup lid B, reducing manual operation and significantly improving installation efficiency.
[0030] The adjustable lifting and lowering of the gantry frame 7 structure of the support frame 4 and the sliding rod 8 and the sliding table allows for precise adjustment of the position of the torque gun 3, ensuring that the sleeve 11 and the cup body A can be aligned and engaged, effectively avoiding possible misalignment during the installation of the cup lid B, thereby improving the accuracy of automatic installation.
[0031] Automated installation reduces manual intervention and the workload of operators, while also avoiding potential safety hazards that may result from manual installation, such as improper installation or damage to components caused by excessive torque.
[0032] It is worth mentioning that the sleeve 11 of the torque gun 3 can be adapted to cup lids of different specifications B, and the clamping mechanism 2 can adapt to cup bodies of various sizes A. Its high flexibility allows the equipment to be compatible with different models of water-collecting cups, making it more widely applicable. Furthermore, the cylinder-driven clamping component 6 and the gantry frame 7 support structure both have high reliability and durability, enabling the equipment to maintain stable operation and a low failure rate during long-term use.
[0033] It is understood that the torque gun 3 includes a motor that provides rotational power and an output component (not shown) that is connected to the motor drive. The output component is connected to the sleeve 11. Obviously, the torque gun 3 is used to output torque force, which drives the sleeve 11 to rotate. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] Furthermore, the sleeve 11 is detachably and securely connected to the cup lid B, used to fix the cup lid B to be installed on the torque gun 3 and to separate from the cup lid B after installation. On the one hand, the sleeve 11 not only adapts to various specifications and types of cup lids B, but also facilitates operation and replacement, improving the versatility of the equipment. On the other hand, the detachable connection makes the installation process more intelligent; after the cup lid B is screwed into the cup body A, the sleeve 11 can quickly separate from the cup lid B without manual intervention, further improving the level of automation and operational efficiency.
[0035] In this embodiment, the support frame 4 and the clamping component 6 cooperate to initially constrain the cup body A and cup lid B, which they respectively clamp, to the same cross-sectional position. This ensures that the cup body A and cup lid B are in the correct spatial position before installation, greatly reducing the time and error of alignment adjustment and improving the accuracy of the installation process.
[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 10 is configured to allow the torque gun 3 to move horizontally toward the X-axis (e.g., Figure 1 The slide table can move flexibly in the horizontal direction (lateral direction), and the slide table is oriented vertically toward the Z-axis (e.g., horizontal direction). Figure 1 The vertical movement of the cup body A and the cup lid B is such that, after initial clamping, they are located at the same cross-sectional position. Subsequently, the torque gun 3 is moved laterally by the mounting plate 10 until the cup lid B on its sleeve 11 is positioned directly above the cup body A. Finally, the adjusting slide 9 is moved longitudinally until the cup lid B on the sleeve 11 abuts against the cup body A, preparing for the operation of the torque gun 3 and ensuring that the cup lid B can be screwed into the cup body A.
[0037] Specifically, the mounting plate 10 is provided with a wrench 12 for locking the limiting torque gun 3 after movement. Thus, by tightening or releasing the torque gun 3 with the wrench 12, the torque gun 3 can be flexibly adjusted in the lateral direction.
[0038] The gantry frame 7 is mounted on the workbench 1 via fixed flanges 13. Specifically, the two fixed flanges 13 are welded to the workbench 1, and the two ends of the gantry frame 7 are further inserted and locked onto the fixed flanges 13 to secure it to the workbench 1.
[0039] The clamping component 6 is mounted on the worktable 1 via a base plate 14. The base plate 14 further connects to and buffers the clamping mechanism, facilitating its installation on the worktable 1 and providing stable support for the cup body A during clamping.
[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
