Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flow meter housing processing technology, and in particular relates to a flow meter housing assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Flow meters are instruments used to measure the flow rate of fluids. They provide flow data by monitoring and measuring the velocity, volume, or mass of fluids in pipes or pipelines. These instruments are widely used in industrial production, energy, chemical industry, environmental protection, water supply and other fields to ensure flow control, monitoring and regulation in the production process. There are various types of flow meters, such as volumetric flow meters, turbine flow meters and electromagnetic flow meters. Different types of flow meters are suitable for different application scenarios and have different measurement principles, accuracies, applicable media and installation requirements.

[0003] In the existing technology, the flow meter housing is usually composed of three parts: outer shell, base, and transparent panel. When assembling the flow meter housing, these three parts usually need to be installed and connected separately. This process involves multiple installation steps, each of which requires manual positioning and alignment of the parts. This manual operation can easily lead to deviations in the position of various parts of the housing, thus affecting the assembly accuracy. In addition, during the installation process, the operator also needs to tighten the screws on the housing one by one, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but also reduces the installation efficiency.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a flow meter housing assembly device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flow meter housing assembly device. By cooperating with the positioning component and the installation component, it solves the problem that the assembly of flow meter housings in the prior art requires multiple steps, which is cumbersome and the manual installation of screws is inefficient.

[0027] Specifically: A ventilation opening is provided on the top of one side of the housing 1, and a dustproof net is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the ventilation opening. A controller is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1 to control the first cylinder 9, the second cylinder 15, and the air compressor 12. Since the flow meter housing is usually circular, an arc-shaped clamp 7 is set to limit its movement. The pneumatic screwdriver 11 consists of a pneumatic motor and a screwdriver head. After the air compressor 12 supplies air to the pneumatic motor, the pneumatic motor will start to run and rotate the screwdriver head. The air compressor 12 has an existing structure and can compress external air and input it into the air pipe 13 to provide power to the pneumatic motor. The air pipe 13 is a retractable hose. Example

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, a partition 14 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing 1, a second cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition 14, a cross 16 is fixedly connected to the free end of the second cylinder 15, one end of the connecting rod 8 is movably connected to one side of the top of the cross 16 via a rotating shaft, a circular groove is opened in the inner cavity of the workbench 2, an assembly table 17 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the circular groove, a spring 18 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 4, one end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide sleeve 5, and the other end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the workbench 2. The workbench 2 has sliding grooves around its inner cavity, which extend into the housing 1. The inner cavity of the sliding grooves is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting block 6 and the connecting rod 8. The mounting plate 10 has round holes around its inner cavity, and the surface of the pneumatic screwdriver 11 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the round holes. The bottom two sides of the housing 1 have slidably connected storage frames 19, and a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the storage frames 19. The top four sides of the workbench 2 have fixedly connected limit rods, and the surface of the limit rods is slidably connected to one side of the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve 5.

[0029] Specifically: the top of the cross 16 is movably connected to one end of the connecting rod 8 via a pivot, so as to simultaneously move the four arc-shaped clamping plates 7.

The connecting rod 8 drives the sliding sleeve 5 to move. The sliding sleeve 5 drives the connecting block 6 to move. The connecting block 6 drives the arc-shaped clamping plate 7 to move. The simultaneous movement of the four arc-shaped clamping plates 7 can position and fix the base, outer shell and transparent panel.

[0031] Next, the controller starts the first cylinder 9. The first cylinder 9 moves the assembly plate, which in turn moves the pneumatic screwdriver 11. When the rotating head of the pneumatic screwdriver 11 contacts the screw in the mounting hole at the top of the transparent panel, the air compressor 12 is activated. The air compressor 12 compresses the outside air and inputs it into the pneumatic motor through the air pipe 13, thereby causing the rotating head to rotate. With the cooperation of the first cylinder 9, the bolt is tightened, so that the transparent panel, the outer shell, and the base can be assembled together with a single bolt, thus completing the assembly of the flow meter housing.
