[0030] The stop piece 33 of the stripping mechanism 3 can be limited and accurately positioned on the O-ring 100, when assembly is needed, the first driving mechanism 1 can be fed, the second driving mechanism 2 drives the clamping jaw 21 to grab the O-ring 100, then the first driving mechanism 1 drives the clamping jaw 21 to move, so that the stop piece 33 of the stripping mechanism 3 can be limited, thereby making the O-ring 100 separate from the clamping jaw 21 and slide onto the valve stem 200, which not only improves the efficiency of the O-ring 100 assembly, but also makes the overall structure more simple and reasonable, compact and orderly, reduces the production cost, facilitates mass assembly operation, and has good market application value.
[0031] Specifically, the first driving mechanism 1 can be configured as a lifting cylinder, and the second driving mechanism 2 can be configured as a four-jaw cylinder, when material is needed, the lifting cylinder of the assembly device is in the extended state, when reaching the material taking place, the clamping jaw 21 of the four-jaw cylinder extends into the O-ring 100, the clamping jaw 21 opens to take out the O-ring 100, then the assembly device is driven to move to the vicinity of the valve stem 200, when reaching the material placing position, the lifting cylinder starts to retract, thereby driving the four-jaw cylinder and the clamping jaw 21 to retract, the O-ring 100 is separated from the clamping jaw 21 under the block of the stop piece 33, the O-ring 100 is installed to the installation position of the corresponding valve stem 200, and the material taking and assembly of the O-ring 100 are completed.
[0032] Figure 3 It is a structure schematic view of another view angle of the assembly device of the utility model; Figure 4 It is Figure 3 It is a local enlarged view of A in the middle.
[0033] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The stripping mechanism 3 comprises a stripping piece 31, a through hole 32 is arranged on the stripping piece 31, the stop piece 33 is arranged on the side of the through hole 32, and the clamping jaw 21 can extend into the through hole 32 and grab the O-ring 100.
[0034] Further, the stop piece 33 is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is arranged at a position away from the stripping piece 31.
[0035] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the stripping mechanism 3 further comprises a limiting piece 34, which is arranged in a spaced manner with the stop piece 33 and is connected through a connecting column 35. The limiting piece 34 is provided with an avoiding hole 343, so as to make the valve rod 200 and the clamping jaw 21 close to each other.
[0036] The arrangement of the inclined surface can make the assembly device clamp different specifications of O-rings 100. For example, when the O-ring 100 is large in specification, the inclined surface can avoid the O-ring 100 from being separated from the stripping mechanism 3, so that the O-ring 100 is stopped between the limiting piece 34 and the stop piece 33 under the action of the inclined surface, thereby ensuring the operation stability of the assembly device and improving the adaptability of the assembly device to different specifications of O-rings 100.
[0037] Further, the connecting column 35 is provided with multiple groups and is symmetrically arranged at different positions of the stop piece 33. The multiple groups of connecting columns 35 can further ensure the connecting strength between the stop piece 33 and the limiting piece 34, thereby further ensuring the operation stability of the assembly device. In addition, when different specifications of O-rings 100 need to be adapted, different limiting pieces 34 can be replaced by the worker according to the needs and the different connecting columns 35, thereby further improving the applicability of the positioning device.
[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 4 The limiting piece 34 comprises a limiting base body 341 and an anti-disengagement part 342 connected with the limiting base body 341. The avoiding hole 343 is arranged on the anti-disengagement part 342, and the anti-disengagement part 342 is used to make the O-ring 100 located between the limiting piece 34 and the stop piece 33.
[0039] Optionally, the thickness of the anti-disengagement part 342 is smaller than the thickness of the limiting base body 341, so as to form an avoiding space 36 between the anti-disengagement part 342 and the limiting base body 341. The clamping jaw 21 can clamp the O-ring 100 and be located in the avoiding space 36.
[0040] The anti-disengagement part 342 can avoid the O-ring 100 from being separated from the installation position of the valve rod 200 due to the too fast retraction speed of the first driving mechanism 1. The arrangement of the avoiding space 36 not only gives a certain degree of buffer, but also limits the O-ring 100 separated from the clamping jaw 21 to a certain extent, so as to ensure that the O-ring 100 will not be separated from the avoiding space 36, realize the installation of the O-ring 100, and ensure the installation precision.

[0043] Further, the positioning assembly further comprises a moving piece 6, the moving piece 6 is arranged on the guide shaft 5 and spaced from the connecting plate 4, the moving piece 6 is sleeved on the guide shaft 5 and connected with the second moving mechanism, the moving piece 6 can slide relative to the guide shaft 5, and the guide shaft 5 is used for guiding the moving piece 6 to move towards the material removing piece 31.
[0044] The guide shaft 5 is used for guiding the clamping jaw 21, so that the feeding direction of the second driving mechanism 2 and the clamping jaw 21 is ensured,
[0045] In the embodiment, the second driving mechanism 2 drives the clamping jaw 21 to move, the clamping jaw 21 moves into the O-shaped ring 100, and the clamping jaw 21 is expanded under the action of the second driving mechanism 2, so as to facilitate the sleeving of the O-shaped ring 100 on the installation position of the valve rod 200, during which, the first driving mechanism 1 can drive the second driving mechanism 2 and the clamping jaw 21, and the O-shaped ring 100 on the clamping jaw 21 to move up and down, since the stopper 33 is arranged at the through hole 32 of the material removing piece 31, the clamping jaw 21 can drive the expanded O-shaped ring 100 to move to the vicinity of the valve rod 200, since the O-shaped ring 100 is in the expanded state, the first driving mechanism 1 is retracted, and the second driving mechanism 2 and the clamping jaw 21 move under the action of the first driving mechanism 1, at this time, the O-shaped ring 100 is pushed to fall to the installation position of the valve rod 200 by the stopper 33 at the through hole 32 of the material removing piece 31.
