[0041] If the existing assembly machine is used for assembly, the process is usually to assemble the valve body on the clamping tool, and then sequentially assemble the end piece, the gasket ring, the spring gasket and the rotating handle on the valve body as the rotating disc rotates, the process line is long, which leads to a long assembly time of a single three-way valve, thereby affecting the final work efficiency.
[0042] If the automatic assembly machine proposed by the utility model is used to assemble the three-way valve, the first rotating disc 2 is used to realize the assembly of the rotating handle finished product, and the second rotating disc 4 is used to assemble the three-way valve, and in the assembly process of the three-way valve, the transfer mechanism 3 is used to transfer and press the rotating handle finished product assembled on the first rotating disc 2 to the valve body of the second rotating disc 4, which greatly shortens the process route and is beneficial to the improvement of work efficiency.

[0047] In the rotating handle product assembly unit, the gasket ring feeding station comprises a first feeding assembly 51 for providing the gasket ring, and a first feeding assembly 6 is arranged on one side of the first feeding assembly 51 and can place the gasket ring on the first clamping tool 21; the elastic pad assembly station comprises a second feeding assembly 52 for providing the elastic pad, and a second feeding assembly 7 is arranged on one side of the second feeding assembly 52 and can place the elastic pad on the gasket ring; the rotating handle assembly station comprises a third feeding assembly 53 for providing the rotating handle, and a third feeding assembly 8 is arranged on one side of the third feeding assembly 53 and can insert the rotating handle into the gasket ring, and the elastic pad is located between the gasket ring and the rotating handle.
[0048] When the first clamping tool 21 on the first rotating disc 2 is located at the gasket ring feeding station, the first feeding assembly 6 carries the gasket ring from the output end of the first feeding assembly 51 to the first clamping tool 21, and then the first clamping tool 21 clamps the gasket ring and rotates with the first rotating disc 2 to the elastic pad assembly station, the second feeding assembly 7 carries the elastic pad from the output end of the second feeding assembly 52 to the gasket ring, when the first clamping tool 21 rotates to the rotating handle assembly station, the third feeding assembly 8 carries the rotating handle from the output end of the third feeding assembly 53 and presses it into the center hole of the gasket ring to form a rotating handle product, and finally the first clamping tool 21 rotates to the blanking station, and the rotating handle product is carried to the valve body of the second rotating disc 4 by the transfer mechanism 3.
[0049] The third feeding assembly 8 comprises a support 801 connected with the machine table 1, a horizontal plate 802 fixedly installed on the support 801, a vertical plate 803 slidably installed on the horizontal plate 802 and capable of moving along the length direction of the horizontal plate 802, a driving motor 804 installed on one side of the vertical plate 803 and capable of lifting and lowering, and an output end of the driving motor 804 being perpendicular to the first rotary disc 2.

[0053] In the valve body feeding station, the workpiece is manually placed and clamped by the second clamping tool 41, the second clamping tool 41 is rotated to the end piece assembly station with the second rotary disc 4, the fourth feeding assembly 9 carries the end piece from the output end of the fourth feeding assembly 54 and sleeves it on the end of the valve body. When the second clamping tool 41 is rotated to the transfer assembly station, the first rotary disc 2 is carried from the unloading station to the valve core of the valve body by the transfer mechanism 3 for press fitting, thereby forming a three-way valve product. Then, the second clamping tool 41 is rotated to the unloading detection station, the material is taken out, and the torque is detected by manual operation at the torque testing mechanism 11.
[0054] The operation principles of each feeding mechanism are basically the same, and each feeding mechanism is used for carrying the parts from the feeding assembly to the clamping tool through horizontal transverse movement and vertical lifting; and the first feeding assembly 6, the second feeding assembly 7 and the fourth feeding assembly 9 are the same in structure, and only the clamping jaws for clamping the parts are different.
[0055] Taking the fourth feeding assembly 9 as an example, the fourth feeding assembly 9 comprises a support rod 901 fixedly connected with the machine table 1, a mounting plate 902 fixedly installed on the support rod 901, a lifting plate 903 arranged on the mounting plate 902 and capable of lifting, a side plate 904 fixedly connected to one side of the lifting plate 903, a sliding plate 905 installed on the side plate 904 and capable of moving horizontally, and a chuck assembly 906 connected to the lower end of the sliding plate 905.

[0061] Three-way valve assembly process: at the valve body feeding station, the valve body is placed on the second clamping tool 41 by manual operation, and is clamped by the second clamping tool 41, at this time the end to be assembled of the valve body extends to the outermost side; the second rotating disc 4 drives the valve body to rotate to the end piece assembly station, and the fourth feeding assembly 9 grabs the end piece from the output end of the fourth feeding assembly 54 and assembles it on the end of the valve body; then the valve body rotates to the transfer assembly station, the transfer mechanism 3 grabs the rotating handle product from the discharging station, and then presses it onto the valve body, thereby completing the assembly of the three-way valve.
