Existing automatic assembly tools usually use clamps and positioning elements to fix joints and rubber pipes to ensure that they are on the same axis, thereby achieving smooth insertion. Related prior art such as Chinese patent application "Rubber pipe joint mounting device", application number: CN201620387773.4, discloses a mounting device including an operating table, a joint clamp and a rubber pipe clamp are installed on the operating table, after clamping the joint and the rubber pipe, the joint and the rubber pipe are located on the same straight line; the joint clamp can move axially along the rubber pipe. The rubber pipe joint mounting device with the above structure positions the joint and the rubber pipe through the tool, and installs them using mechanical force. It is faster and more efficient, greatly improving the quality and efficiency of assembly.

[0004] Automatic assembly tools achieve rapid and accurate butt joint of joints and rubber pipes through mechanization, significantly improving production efficiency.
