[0022] Furthermore, the water pipe connector assembly equipment also includes a position sensor, which is located on the side of the contour support.

[0023] Furthermore, the water pipe connector assembly device also includes two switch buttons, which are connected in series with the drive mechanism.

[0024] Based on the above technical solutions, the technical effects achievable by this utility model can be analyzed as follows:

[0025] The water pipe connector assembly equipment provided by this utility model includes a plug-in fixture and a drive mechanism; the plug-in fixture includes a bushing guide rod and a contour support member arranged opposite to each other.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] See Figures 1 to 7 The water pipe connector assembly equipment provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a plug-in fixture 100 and a drive mechanism 200. The plug-in fixture 100 includes a bushing guide rod 110 and a contour support member 120 arranged opposite to each other. The bushing guide rod 110 is used to fit a metal bushing 700. The contour support member 120 has a contour groove 1212 on its surface opposite to the bushing guide rod 110. The contour groove 1212 is used to fix the injection molded part 600. The bottom wall of the contour groove 1212 has an installation channel 123. A centering guide rod 124 is installed in the installation channel 123, and the end face of the centering guide rod 124 near the bushing guide rod 110 has a centering groove 1241. The drive mechanism 200 is connected to the bushing guide rod 110 or the contour support member 120 for transmission, so that the bushing guide rod 110 is inserted into the centering groove 1241.

[0049] Specifically, both injection molded part 600 and metal bushing 700 are components of the water pipe fitting, see [link / reference]. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The shape of the contour groove 1212 matches the shape of the injection molded part 600 to support and fix the injection molded part 600. See also Figure 8 The injection molded part 600 has a through hole 610; during assembly, the metal bushing 700 is installed in the through hole 610.

[0050] The outer wall of the injection molded part 600 fits against the inner wall of the contour groove 1212, fixing the injection molded part 600 within the contour groove 1212 of the contour support 120. Furthermore, the axis of the through hole 610 of the mounting metal bushing 700 of the injection molded part 600 is collinear with the axis of the mounting channel 123. Additionally, the diameter of the through hole 610 is larger than the diameter of the bushing guide rod 110, ensuring that when the bushing guide rod 110 is inserted into the through hole 610, there is sufficient space between the through hole 610 and the bushing guide rod 110 to accommodate the metal bushing. The gap of the bushing 700; the centering guide rod 124 is located in the installation channel 123. When the drive mechanism 200 is started, the distance between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120 decreases. The end of the bushing guide rod 110 is first inserted into the centering groove 1241 of the centering guide rod 124 for pre-centering. Then the distance between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120 continues to decrease, so that the metal bushing 700 enters the through hole 610 of the injection molded part 600 to complete the assembly. By placing the injection-molded part 600 and the metal bushing 700 separately before assembly, and pre-aligning them using the bushing guide rod 110 and the centering groove 1241 of the centering guide rod 124, the metal bushing 700 is ensured to have stable insertion force during assembly. Furthermore, the required dimensional and positional tolerances, such as the contour of the bottom of the metal bushing 700 relative to the joint sealing ring groove, are guaranteed by the fitting accuracy of the shaft hole of the insertion tooling 100, improving assembly accuracy and effectively preventing the generation of defective parts. In addition, the drive mechanism 200 is connected to the bushing guide rod 110 or the contour support 120 to achieve automated assembly and improve assembly efficiency.

[0051] The shape and structure of the water pipe fitting assembly equipment are described in detail below:

[0052] In the optional embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 5 The centering guide rod 124 is slidably engaged with the mounting channel 123, and an elastic element 125 is installed between the centering guide rod 124 and the bottom wall of the mounting channel 123.

[0053] Specifically, the elastic element 125 is configured as a spring, with one end abutting against the bottom wall of the mounting channel 123 and the other end connected to the centering guide rod 124. The spring is sleeved on the centering guide rod 124; or, the spring abuts against the centering guide rod 124. When there is a gap between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120, one end of the centering guide rod 124 with the centering groove 1241 is flush with or slightly retracted from the surface of the contour support 120 relative to the surface of the bushing guide rod 110; the distance between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120 shortens, and the bushing guide rod 110 is inserted into the centering groove 1241 to achieve pre-centering; the distance between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120 continues to shorten, and the bushing guide rod 110 pushes the centering guide rod 124 to move towards the bottom wall of the mounting channel 123, so that the metal bushing 700 enters the through hole 610 of the injection molded part 600. After the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120 are reset under the drive of the drive mechanism 200, the centering guide rod 124 is reset under the action of the spring.

[0054] The centering guide rod 124 slides with the mounting channel 123 and an elastic element 125 is installed between them, which can shorten the length of the bushing guide rod 110, reduce the stroke of the drive mechanism 200, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the installation channel 123 is provided with a limiting groove 1231, and the side wall of the centering guide rod 124 is provided with a limiting protrusion 1242. The limiting protrusion 1242 is inserted into the limiting groove 1231 and slides in cooperation with the limiting groove 1231.

[0056] Specifically, the limiting groove 1231 has opposing first and second sidewalls. When there is a gap between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120, one end of the centering guide rod 124 with a centering groove 1241 is flush with or slightly retracted from the surface of the contour support 120 relative to the surface of the bushing guide rod 110, and the limiting protrusion 1242 abuts against the first sidewall of the limiting groove 1231; the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support... As the distance between the support members 120 shortens, the bushing guide rod 110 is inserted into the centering groove 1241 for pre-centering. The distance between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support member 120 continues to shorten, and the bushing guide rod 110 pushes the centering guide rod 124 towards the bottom wall of the mounting channel 123, causing the metal bushing 700 to enter the through hole 610 of the injection molded part 600, and the limiting protrusion 1242 abuts against the second side wall of the limiting groove 1231. After the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support member 120 are reset under the drive of the drive mechanism 200, the centering guide rod 124 is reset under the action of the spring, and the limiting protrusion 1242 is reset to abut against the first side wall of the limiting groove 1231.

[0057] The limiting protrusion 1242 and the limiting groove 1231 slide together to control the stroke of the centering guide rod 124 and prevent the centering guide rod 124 from falling out of the installation channel 123.

[0058] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the contour support 120 includes a support body 121 and a locking block 122; the support body 121 is provided with a contour groove 1212 and a first channel 1211 communicating with the contour groove 1212; the locking block 122 is connected to the support body 121; the locking block 122 is provided with a second channel 1221, the first channel 1211 and the second channel 1221 communicate to form an installation channel 123, and a limiting groove 1231 is provided at one end of the first channel 1211 near the second channel 1221, one end of the elastic member 125 abuts against the bottom wall of the second channel 1221, and the other end is fitted with a centering guide rod 124.

[0059] Specifically, when assembling the contour support 120, the centering guide rod 124 is first inserted into the first channel 1211 from the end opposite to the contour groove 1212. Then, the locking block 122 is installed on the support body 121, ensuring that the axis of the first channel 1211 is collinear with the axis of the second channel 1221. Furthermore, the second sidewall of the limiting groove 1231 is configured as the outer wall of the locking block 122 that contacts the support body 121.

[0060] The contour support 120 includes a support body 121 and a locking block 122, which enables the installation of the centering guide rod 124 with a limiting protrusion 1242.

[0061] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the locking block 122 and the support body 121 are detachably connected by a first fastener.

[0062] Specifically, the first fastener is a screw. Of course, the first fastener can also be a rivet or other fitting, all of which are within the protection scope of this utility model embodiment. Preferably, two first fasteners are provided, located on opposite sides of the second channel 1221. The assembly accuracy between the locking block 122 and the support body 121 can be adjusted by adjusting the two first fasteners. The locking block 122 is provided with a third fastener 127, which is a bolt.

[0063] The locking block 122 is detachably connected to the support body 121, which facilitates the installation and removal of the centering guide rod 124.

[0064] In another embodiment, the centering guide rod 124 is fixedly connected to the mounting channel 123, and the surface of the centering guide rod 124 with the centering groove 1241 is flush with the bottom wall of the contour groove 1212 or slightly retracted into the bottom wall of the square groove.

[0065] When there is a gap between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120, the surface of the centering guide rod 124 with the centering groove 1241 is flush with the bottom wall of the contour groove 1212 or slightly retracted to the bottom wall of the square groove; the distance between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120 is shortened, and the bushing guide rod 110 is inserted into the centering groove 1241 to achieve pre-centering, but there is a gap between the bushing guide rod 110 and the bottom wall of the centering groove 1241; the distance between the bushing guide rod 110 and the contour support 120 continues to shorten, and the bushing guide rod 110 continues to extend into the centering groove 1241, so that the metal bushing 700 enters the through hole 610 of the injection molded part 600.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the bushing guide rod 110 includes a drive rod 111 and a mounting rod 112. One end of the mounting rod 112 is inserted into the centering groove 1241, and the other end is connected to the drive rod 111. The diameter of the drive rod 111 is larger than the diameter of the mounting rod 112.

[0067] Specifically, the drive rod 111 and the mounting rod 112 are integrally formed. Furthermore, the end of the drive rod 111 facing away from the mounting rod 112 is mounted on the press-fit base plate 113 by a second fastener 114 to fix the bushing guide rod 110.

[0068] The metal bushing 700 is mounted on the mounting rod 112 and is located at the end of the mounting rod 112 near the drive rod 111.

[0069] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water pipe connector assembly equipment further includes a monitoring module and a display 400. The monitoring module is installed on the drive mechanism 200 and is signal-connected to the display 400. The monitoring module is used to monitor the stroke of the drive mechanism 200, and the display 400 is used to display the monitoring information of the monitoring module.

[0070] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 3 The water pipe connector assembly also includes a support platform 800, which is inclined. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 200 is connected to the contour support 120 via a transmission connection, and a guide assembly 810 is installed between the contour support 120 and the support platform 800 to guide the movement of the contour support 120. The guide assembly 810 includes a guide rail 811 and a slider 812. The guide rail 811 is mounted on the support platform 800, and the slider 812 is mounted on the contour support 120, with the slider 812 slidingly engaging with the guide rail 811. The display 400 and the monitoring module are connected via a computer signal. The monitoring module can transmit monitoring information to the computer, which processes the information and displays it on the display 400. Preferably, if the data monitored by the monitoring module does not meet the expected preset data after the computer processes the information, an alarm is triggered.

[0071] The support platform 800 supports the insertion tool 100 and the drive mechanism 200; the monitoring module is used to monitor the stroke of the drive mechanism 200 and control the drive distance of the drive mechanism 200 within a certain range to prevent excessive insertion or incomplete insertion.

[0072] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the monitoring module includes a displacement sensor 310 and a force sensor 320, both of which are connected to the display 400 via signals; both the force sensor 320 and the displacement sensor 310 are mounted on the drive mechanism 200.

[0073] Specifically, the computer stores a preset interpolation curve, and can accept signals transmitted by the displacement sensor 310 and the force sensor 320, and process these signals to form an actual interpolation curve. The computer compares the actual interpolation curve with the preset interpolation curve. If the actual interpolation curve exceeds the tolerance range of the preset interpolation curve, an alarm is triggered, and the display 400 shows an abnormality. Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the actual interpolation curve and the preset interpolation curve can be displayed on the display 400. Further, the drive mechanism 200 includes a cylinder.

[0074] Displacement sensor 310 and force sensor 320 work together to monitor the insertion process. If the actual insertion curve detected during the insertion process exceeds the set tolerance range, the equipment will alarm and the display will show an abnormality of 400, thus preventing defective parts from being released.

[0075] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water pipe connector assembly equipment further includes a position sensor 330, which is placed on the side of the contour support 120.

[0076] Specifically, the position sensor 330 is configured as a laser sensor, which is located on the support platform 800 and is used to identify whether the contour support 120 is in the expected position before insertion.

[0077] The position sensor 330 is used to identify the position of the contour support 120. Only after all the components are placed in place and pre-aligned can the equipment start-up conditions be met and the equipment can be started.

[0078] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water pipe connector assembly device further includes two switch buttons 500, which are connected in series with the drive mechanism 200.

[0079] Specifically, the drive mechanism 200 can only be activated when both switch buttons 500 are pressed simultaneously.

[0080] Two switch buttons 500 simultaneously control the opening and closing of the drive mechanism 200, improving operational safety.

[0081] The advantages of this water pipe joint assembly equipment are explained in detail below:

[0082] 1. Traditional assembly equipment, such as manual presses, lacks monitoring of insertion force and displacement. Traditional insertion often relies on tooling limits to ensure that only the 700mm insertion stroke of the metal bushing is guaranteed. Visual inspection is used to prevent defective parts from leaving the assembly, which is not very effective. Furthermore, it cannot effectively guarantee the assembly precision requirements of some manufacturers, such as contour accuracy. This water pipe connector assembly equipment includes a monitoring module. Through monitoring by force sensor 320 and displacement sensor 310, it can prevent defective parts from being inserted too far or too far, and prevent defective parts from being inserted due to misalignment of the metal bushing 700mm during insertion, which could lead to abnormal insertion force and compromised assembly precision.

[0083] 2. Traditional assembly uses a simple lever method to place the parts in place and directly press the metal bushing 700. While one hand is holding the lever, the other hand may be in the pressing range, which may cause hand injury and is therefore dangerous. This water pipe joint assembly equipment uses a two-hand start switch button 500. After the employee places the parts in place, they can only place both hands on the switch button 500 to start the equipment normally, which has a high degree of safety.

[0084] 3. Traditional equipment pre-installation conditions, such as the metal bushing 700 being placed on the mounting hole, can only be ensured by visual inspection. However, this water pipe joint assembly equipment uses laser sensor sensing. Only after all components are placed in place and pre-aligned can the equipment start-up conditions be met, thus enabling the equipment to start normally.

[0085] 4. Traditional equipment has poor assembly precision and cannot be matched with tooling with high fitting precision, thus failing to effectively guarantee the required assembly precision of the product, such as the contour. However, this water pipe joint assembly equipment uses guide rail 811 to carry high-precision insertion tooling 100, and uses the fitting precision of the tooling shaft hole to ensure the assembly precision of metal bushing 700 and prevent defective parts from being produced.

[0086] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0087] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
