[0041] like Figures 5-9 As shown, the tooling positioning module 2 includes a base 201, which is used to connect to the load module 5; the base 201 is connected to the stand 203 via a first lifting device 202; a clamping device 204 is provided on the stand 203, preferably a downward pressing elbow clamp 205, which is used to fix the pump body 7; a support device 206 is provided above the base 201, which is used to support the pump body 7.

[0042] The first lifting device 202 includes a mounting cylinder 207 disposed on the side of the base 201. The output end of the mounting cylinder 207 is connected to the stand 203 via a pull rod 208. Above the base 201 is a mounting plate 209. Below the mounting plate 209 are multiple sets of first linear bearings 210, preferably four sets. The first linear bearings 210 are preferably 16mm flanged linear bearings, distributed at the four corners of the mounting plate 209. A sliding shaft 211 is disposed inside the first linear bearing 210. The top of the sliding shaft 211 is connected to the stand 203, and the bottom of the sliding shaft 211 is provided with a limit plate 213. After the mounting cylinder 207 is activated by a control command, it drives the base 201 to move up and down. The four sets of sliding shafts 211 play a role in limiting and positioning. To limit the stroke of the mounting cylinder 207, an adjusting screw 214 is provided between the base 201 and the stand 203.

[0043] The support device 206 includes a support cylinder 215 mounted on the mounting plate 209. The support cylinder 215 is preferably a hydraulic lifting type, and its output end is connected to a support block 216. The lower part of the stand 203 is open to accommodate the support cylinder 215. The shape of the support block 216 matches the shape of the pump body 7.

[0045] The press head device 502 includes a partition 505 disposed within the press support 501. A slide cylinder 506 is disposed below the partition 505. The output end of the slide cylinder 506 is connected to a press head switching plate 507. A valve body pressure rod 508 and a steel ball pressure rod 509 are disposed on the press head switching plate 507. The pressurizing device 503 includes a reciprocating servo electric cylinder 510. The output end of the reciprocating servo electric cylinder 510 cooperates with the valve body pressure rod 508 and the steel ball pressure rod 509. A force sensor mounting base 511 is provided at the output end of cylinder 510. The force sensor mounting base 511 is used to install a force sensor. After receiving the command from the control device 6, the slide cylinder 506 drives the pressure head switching plate 507 to move, thereby positioning the valve body pressure rod 508 or the steel ball pressure rod 509 below the output end of the reciprocating servo electric cylinder 510. This applies pressure to the valve body or steel ball installed on the pump body 7, pressing the valve body 8 or the steel ball tightly. The force sensor is used to monitor the pressure in real time.

[0046] The moving device 504 includes a first slide rail mounting plate 512 and a linear module 513. The first slide rail mounting plate 512 is mounted on the worktable 1, and the linear module 513 is connected to the motor 514. First slide rails 515 are provided on both sides of the linear module 513, and first sliders 516 are provided on the first slide rails 515. The first slide rails 515, the linear module 513, and the motor 514 are mounted on the first slide rail mounting plate 512. After the base 201 is connected to the first slider 516 and the linear module 513, the motor 514, upon receiving a command from the control device 6, drives the tooling positioning module 2 to the designated position via the linear module 513.

[0047] The steel ball feeding module 3 includes a steel ball storage compartment 301. A ball storage support plate 302 is positioned below the steel ball storage compartment 301. The support plate 302 is connected to the steel ball storage compartment 301 via a support rod 303. Essentially, the support plate 302 is used to fix the steel ball storage compartment 301 within the workbench 1. A double cylinder 304 is positioned below the steel ball storage compartment 301. The output end of the double cylinder 304 is connected to a feeding pipe 305. Upon receiving a command from the control device 6, the double cylinder 304 actuates, causing the feeding pipe 305 to move up and down, thereby drawing the steel balls from the steel ball storage compartment 301 out of the feeding pipe 305 and into the empty space in the pump body 7. The preferred material for the steel ball storage compartment 301 is plexiglass.

[0048] like Figures 14-17 As shown, the valve body feeding module 4 includes a vibratory plate 401, which is connected to the valve body material channel 402 and the feeding device 403; a pneumatic gripper 404 is provided on one side of the feeding device 403, which is connected to the telescopic cylinder 405.

[0049] The feeding device 403 includes a feeding bracket 406, a second slide rail mounting plate 407 above the feeding bracket 406, a second slide rail 408 on the second slide rail mounting plate 407, a second slider 410 above the second slide rail 408, a feeding slide plate 411 above the second slider 410, and a feeding push plate 412 on the feeding slide plate 411. The feeding push plate 412 is connected to the second cylinder 413. To verify the quality of the valve body 8, a laser beam switch 414 is installed at one end of the feeding bracket 406. After receiving the instruction from the control device 6, the second cylinder 413 drives the feeding slide plate 411 to move on the second slide rail 408 via the feeding push plate 412, pushing the valve body 8 from the end of the valve body material channel 402 to the laser beam switch 414 to check if the height is qualified. If the height of the valve body 8 is qualified, the control device 6 issues an instruction, and the pneumatic gripper 404 and the telescopic cylinder 405 actuate to put the qualified valve body 8 into the pump body 7. Buffer mounting plates 415 are provided on both sides above the feeding bracket 406, and buffers 416 are installed on the buffer mounting plates 415. The installation of buffers 416 makes the entire feeding device 403 operate more smoothly.

[0050] The working principle of this specific implementation is as follows: The pump body 7 is installed onto the stand 203 via the clamping device 204. The control device 6 controls the installation cylinder 207 to adjust the pump body 7 to a suitable position. The control device 6 is activated, the motor 514 actuates, driving the pump body 7 to the designated position and then stopping. The second cylinder 413 of the valve body feeding module 4 actuates, pushing the valve body 8 to the laser beam switch 414. After verifying the height is correct, the pneumatic gripper 404 clamps the valve body 8 and places it into the pump body 7. The cylinder of the steel ball feeding module 3 is activated, feeding a single ball... The steel ball is drawn from the steel ball magazine 301 and falls into the hole of the pump body 7. At this time, the motor 514 brings the tooling positioning module 2 under the load module 5. The support cylinder 215 of the tooling positioning module 3 provides upward support to one side of the pump body 7. The reversing servo electric cylinder 510 drives the valve body pressure rod 508 to press the valve body 8. The slide cylinder 506 actuates, switching the steel ball pressure rod 509 to below the reversing servo electric cylinder 510. The reversing servo electric cylinder 510 drives the steel ball pressure rod 509 to press the steel ball. The force sensor detects the pressure in real time. This implementation realizes automatic pressing of the valve body 8 and steel ball, which can reduce errors caused by human operation, improve production efficiency and consistency, ensure accurate pressing, and enable large-scale production. The introduction of a real-time monitoring system ensures high-quality pressing.
