However, the existing assembly method is generally manual installation. Due to the repetitive nature of the installation, manual installation is inefficient and lacks automation, affecting the actual benefits of production and processing.

[0004] Therefore, we provide an automatic assembly device for the inlet valve core tube. Utility Model Content

[0009] The second assembly mechanism, used for positioning and moving the regulating tube, includes a cross-shaped insert cylinder for rotating the guide support, a regulating tube holder for clamping, and two clamping guides for assembling the guide support.

[0010] The third assembly mechanism is used for positioning and moving the outer tube, including an outer tube feeding belt for transport support, two positioning clamping arms for clamping, and a clamping guide assembly for assembling double-limiting.

[0011] The fourth assembly mechanism is used to adjust the height of the finished product, including an upper adjusting clamping arm for pulling the clamping support and a lower fixing clamping arm for fixing the clamping support.

[0012] Preferably, the first assembly mechanism, the second assembly mechanism, the third assembly mechanism, and the fourth assembly mechanism are each provided with a lateral drive component for horizontal guiding drive and a longitudinal drive component for vertical guiding drive.

[0013] Preferably, the first assembly mechanism is provided with a drive motor for clamping and driving the core tube clamping arm, and the drive motor is installed at the lower end of the longitudinal drive assembly, and the clamping middle part of the core tube clamping arm is located above the middle part of the guide frame, and the guide frame is inserted into the inner core tube.

[0014] Preferably, the second assembly mechanism further includes a drive motor for rotating and driving the cross-shaped insertion cylinder. A linear motion module for vertical driving support is provided on one side of the cross-shaped insertion cylinder and the drive motor. The horizontal drive assembly is provided above the linear motion module. At least two of the adjusting tube clamps are installed in the horizontal drive assembly. A positioning cone is provided on one side of the cross-shaped insertion cylinder. The distance between the cross-shaped insertion cylinder and the positioning cone is consistent with the distance between the two adjusting tube clamps and the distance between the positioning cone and the clamping guide.

[0015] Preferably, the two clamping guides are located in the same vertical position, with the upper clamping guide located above the inner core tube and the lower clamping guide in contact with the surface of the inner core tube.

[0016] Preferably, the third assembly mechanism further includes a positioning cylinder, which is located between the outermost outer tube in the outer tube feeding belt and the clamping position of the clamping guide component.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic assembly device for inlet valve core tubes, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model, through the combined use of the first assembly mechanism, the second assembly mechanism, the third assembly mechanism and the fourth assembly mechanism in the automatic assembly section, enables the device to have the effect of group and classify assembly. While automating each assembly step, the positioning and guiding components in each assembly step ensure the accuracy of each assembly step and improve the precision of the assembled product.

[0021] 2. This utility model, through the assembly line operation mode of the device, enables each step to run simultaneously, greatly improving the efficiency of assembling the water valve core tube and increasing its processing efficiency, resulting in significant economic benefits in actual production and use.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] Example 1: An automatic assembly device for inlet valve core tubes, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a mounting platform 1, a fixed plate 2, a rotating ring 3, and an automatic assembly unit located above the mounting platform 1. The lower end of the mounting platform 1 is equipped with a motor for driving and supporting the fixed plate 2. The rotating ring 3 is located above the middle of the fixed plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 1.

[0034] The automated assembly unit includes a first assembly mechanism, a second assembly mechanism, a third assembly mechanism, and a fourth assembly mechanism.

[0035] The first assembly mechanism, used for the initial positioning and movement of the inner core tube, includes a core tube feeding belt 4 for transport support, a core tube clamping arm 7 for clamping, and a guide frame 8 for clamping and directional support.

[0036] The second assembly mechanism, used for positioning and moving the regulating tube, includes a cross-shaped insert cylinder 9 for rotating the guide support, a regulating tube holder 11 for clamping, and two clamping guides 22 for assembling the guide support.

[0037] The third assembly mechanism is used for positioning and moving the outer tube, including an outer tube feeding belt 14 for transport support, two positioning clamping arms 16 for clamping, and a clamping guide assembly 13 for assembling double-limiting.

[0038] The fourth assembly mechanism is used to adjust the height of the finished product, including an upper adjusting clamping arm 18 for pulling the clamping support and a lower fixing clamping arm 17 for fixing the clamping support.

[0039] By combining the first, second, third, and fourth assembly mechanisms within the automatic assembly section, the device achieves group and classification assembly. While automating each assembly step, the positioning and guiding components within each assembly step ensure accuracy and improve the precision of the assembled product. Furthermore, the assembly line operation mode allows each step to run simultaneously, greatly improving the efficiency of assembling water valve core tubes and enhancing processing efficiency. This results in significant economic benefits in actual production.

[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the first assembly mechanism, the second assembly mechanism, the third assembly mechanism, and the fourth assembly mechanism are all equipped with a transverse drive component 5 for horizontal guiding drive and a longitudinal drive component 6 for vertical guiding drive.

[0041] Based on the horizontal and vertical movement support provided by the lateral drive component 5 and the longitudinal drive component 6 within each operating mechanism, the device can move in both directions at each assembly step, ensuring accurate and reliable movement and installation of materials in each part.

[0042] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the first assembly mechanism is equipped with a drive motor for clamping and driving the core tube clamping arm 7. The drive motor is installed at the lower end of the longitudinal drive assembly 6, and the middle part of the core tube clamping arm 7 is located above the middle part of the guide frame 8. The guide frame 8 is inserted into the inner core tube.

[0043] First, under the drive guidance of the transverse drive assembly 5 and the longitudinal drive assembly 6, the guide frame 8 is inserted into the inner core tube. Then, with the support of the drive motor, the core tube clamping arm 7 is clamped and controlled to clamp the inner core tube, causing the inner core tube to move from the core tube feeding belt 4 to the surface of the rotating ring 3 and be placed on the upper surface of the rotating ring 3, providing accurate assistance for the next installation step. At the same time, the clamping part in this embodiment can ensure its clamping operation by using multiple transmission methods such as motors, lead screws, and belts. Therefore, it can be adapted to the actual use environment and is not limited to it.

[0044] Example 2: An automatic assembly device for inlet valve core tubes, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the second assembly mechanism also includes a drive motor for rotating the cross-shaped insertion cylinder 9. A linear motion module 10 for vertical drive support is provided on one side of the cross-shaped insertion cylinder 9 and the drive motor. A transverse drive assembly 5 is provided above the linear motion module 10. At least two adjusting tube clamps 11 are installed in the transverse drive assembly 5. A positioning cone 12 is provided on one side of the cross-shaped insertion cylinder 9. The distance between the cross-shaped insertion cylinder 9 and the positioning cone 12 is consistent with the distance between the two adjusting tube clamps 11 and the distance between the positioning cone 12 and the clamping guide 22.

[0045] The two clamping guides 22 are located in the same vertical position, with the upper clamping guide 22 located above the inner core tube and the lower clamping guide 22 in contact with the surface of the inner core tube.

[0046] First, the adjusting tube is pushed into the cross-shaped insertion cylinder 9 by a guide device on one side. Then, the cross-shaped insertion cylinder 9 is rotated to make the adjusting tube vertical. Supported by the horizontal drive assembly 5 and the vertical drive assembly 6, the adjusting tube holder 11 clamps the adjusting tube. Guided by the clamping guide 22, the adjusting tube is inserted into the lower inner core tube via the clamping guide 22. Simultaneously, based on the guidance of the lower clamping guide 22, the inner core tube is stably inserted into the adjusting tube, and the lower clamping guide 22 is initially... Under the clamping action, the insertion position of the regulating tube is limited. After the regulating tube and the inner core tube are partially inserted, the clamping guide 22 is expanded to allow the regulating tube and the inner core tube to continue to be inserted, so that the insertion process is partially operational, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the insertion. At the same time, under the directional support of the positioning cone 12, the regulating tube clamp 11 can position the regulating tube on the rear side during installation. When the positioning cone 12 clamps, it can clamp two regulating tubes at the same time, which can add a station and make the regulating tube clamp 11 move sequentially to drive the two regulating tubes to move.

[0047] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the third assembly mechanism also includes a positioning cylinder 15, which is located in the middle of the outermost outer tube and the clamping position of the clamping guide assembly 13 within the outer tube feeding belt 14. The distance between the two positioning clamping arms 16 is the same as the distance between the positioning cylinder 15 and the clamping position of the clamping guide assembly 13. The clamping guide assembly 13 performs clamping operations in two stages.

[0048] The positioning cylinder 15 within the third assembly mechanism guides the two positioning clamping arms 16 during clamping and assembly of the outer tubes, providing space for their clamping. This allows the device to move both outer tubes simultaneously within a single stroke. The clamping guide component 13 first clamps the product, which has moved from the second assembly mechanism, stabilizing it in a vertical position. Then, the positioning clamping arms 16 move the outer tubes for insertion. The clamping guide component 13 limits the movement of the outer tubes. When the outer tube is inserted into the product after secondary assembly and contacts the clamping guide component 13, the clamping guide component 13 expands, allowing the outer side to move downwards from the center of its clamping position. The expansion of the clamping guide component 13 further ensures the precise and stable insertion and assembly of the outer tubes by limiting the outer tube's side.

[0049] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the upper adjusting clamping arm 18 in the fourth assembly mechanism is installed in the longitudinal drive assembly 6, and the clamping middle of the upper adjusting clamping arm 18 and the clamping middle of the lower fixed clamping arm 17 are located at the same center.

[0050] The fourth assembly mechanism also includes a feeding clamping arm 19, a feeding sliding assembly 20, and a rotation drive module 21. The feeding clamping arm 19 is used to clamp the assembled product, the rotation drive module 21 is used for rotational support, and the feeding sliding assembly 20 is provided with a positioning cylinder for product positioning.

[0051] The product is clamped by the lower clamping arms 17 on both sides, which are fixed at the bottom. The longitudinal drive component 6 controls the upper adjusting clamping arm 18 to move down and clamp the upper part of the product. Then, the longitudinal drive component 6 controls the guide frame 8 to move up and stretch, adjusting the height of the assembled product to meet the requirements of different specifications. Under the clamping of the adjusted product by the unloading clamping arm 19, the rotation support of the rotation drive module 21, and the movement of the transverse drive component 5 and the longitudinal drive component 6, the product can move to the side of the unloading sliding component 20 and be inserted into the positioning cylinder to achieve the effect of unloading and movement, and facilitate its further processing.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
