[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a grout tube assembly fixture, including a base 1, which has a U-shaped structure and mounting holes on its vertical sides. A multi-station turntable 2 is driven by a rotary motor at the top of the base 1. The rotary motor is bolted to the center of the bottom of the horizontal part of the base 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the multi-station turntable 2 via a bearing. Several support platforms 3 are arranged around the top of the multi-station turntable 2. A sponge protective pad is glued to the top of each support platform 3. Guide columns 4 are symmetrically welded to both sides of each support platform 3. Clamping rings 5 ​​are provided at both the upper and lower ends of each group of guide columns 4. Elastic grippers 6 are symmetrically arranged inside the clamping rings 5, and adjustment slots are provided on both the front and rear sides of the clamping rings 5. 7. Tightening elements 8 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the adjusting groove 7. The tightening elements 8 have an overall arc-shaped structure. These tightening elements 8 can move alternately to close the elastic claws 6 in the same group. With this structure, the operator can place multiple grout tubes between the two clamping rings 5 ​​in each group, and use the support platform 3 to support the bottom of the tubes. These two clamping rings 5 ​​can be precisely positioned at the appropriate positions at the upper and lower ends of the tubes via the guide column 4. Furthermore, the elastic claws 6 inside the clamping rings 5 ​​can close together under the action of the tightening elements 8. That is, by adjusting the alternating movement of the tightening elements 8 within the adjusting groove 7, the position and clamping force of the elastic claws 6 can be adjusted, ensuring they can firmly clamp the tubes. Regardless of the specific size of the tubes, a uniform and appropriate clamping force can be provided, thereby effectively relieving... This design solves the problem of nozzle and back cover assembly position deviation caused by the lack of a dedicated positioning device in existing technologies, improving sealing and aesthetics. Simultaneously, it significantly reduces human error in a rapid assembly line environment, improving assembly efficiency and product consistency. Positioning sleeves 9 are welded and fixed to both outer walls of the clamping ring frame 5, and these sleeves 9 are fitted onto the outside of the guide column 4 and secured with bolts. This structure ensures stability and accuracy when the clamping ring frame 5 needs to be moved to the appropriate positions at the upper and lower ends of the hose, preventing any unnecessary lateral displacement or shaking. This allows the clamping ring frame 5 to slide up and down along the guide column 4 under precise control, thereby effectively clamping and tightening hoses of different heights. The components 8 are staggered vertically inside the adjusting slot 7. One end of the tightening component 8 is welded to the outer wall of the corresponding elastic gripper 6 via a connector. When the tightening component 8 moves along the adjusting slot 7, its inner end drives the elastic gripper 6 to move synchronously via the connector, allowing the elastic gripper 6 to flexibly adjust the clamping force and position according to actual needs. A positioning screw cylinder 10 is welded to each adjacent end of the tightening component 8. A positioning pin 11 is inserted into the interior of the positioning screw cylinder 10 through a threaded structure. Several positioning holes matching the structure of the positioning pin 11 are provided on the adjacent side of the tightening component 8. When the tightening component 8 reaches the ideal position, the positioning pin 11 is rotated to pass through the positioning screw cylinder 10 and enter the corresponding positioning hole.This locks the tightening element 8 in place. The threaded structure between the positioning screw cylinder 10 and the positioning pin 11 ensures the stability and reliability of the connection, preventing loosening or displacement during operation. This not only allows for fine-tuning of each tightening element 8 to accommodate different sizes of grout tubes, but also provides additional fixing protection after adjustment, ensuring that the elastic gripper 6 can be stably held in the set clamping state. T-shaped sliders 12 are welded and fixed to the opposite side of each tightening element 8, and the inner walls of both the upper and lower ends of the adjusting slot 7 are provided with T-shaped grooves that cooperate with the structure of the T-shaped sliders 12. This structure ensures that the T-shaped sliders 12 and the T-shaped grooves on the inner wall of the adjusting slot 7 are tightly fitted together, ensuring... To ensure the tightening component 8 maintains stable movement without shifting or tilting during movement, precise position adjustment is achieved. Simultaneously, the T-shaped slider 12 also limits the movement of the tightening component 8. The elastic grippers 6 are all arc-shaped, and flexible protective pads are adhered and fixed to the inner walls of the elastic grippers 6. This structure allows the elastic grippers 6 to naturally conform to the outer contour of the adhesive tube when the operator places it between two opposing elastic grippers 6, providing uniform clamping force and preventing excessive local compression of the tube. Furthermore, the flexible protective pads on the inner walls of the elastic grippers 6 further enhance this conformation and act as a buffer during clamping, preventing scratches or damage to the tube surface.

[0019] Working Principle: In the production of grout hoses, PP or PE granules are first mixed. The mixed granular raw material is then heated to a molten state and injected into a pre-designed mold cavity using an injection molding machine. Under the action of the mold's cooling system, it rapidly cools and solidifies. After solidification, it is demolded. After demolding, assembly is performed. During assembly, multiple grout hoses are first placed in each group of two clamping rings 5, and the bottom of the hoses is supported by the sponge protective pad on top of the support platform 3. Then, the operator drives the multi-station turntable 2 via a rotary motor at the bottom of the base 1, rotating it and positioning each hose in its corresponding operating position. The guide column 4 guides the clamping rings 5 ​​to move along their length. When clamped... After the ring frame 5 reaches the predetermined position, the positioning sleeve 9 is fixed to the guide column 4 by the tightening bolt to ensure the stability and accuracy of clamping the ring frame 5. Then, the operator adjusts the position of the tightening member 8 in the adjusting groove 7, so that the elastic claw 6 retracts inward and firmly clamps the hose. As the tightening member 8 moves along the adjusting groove 7, it drives the elastic claw 6 to move synchronously, thereby achieving the clamping of hoses of different sizes. Subsequently, the operator rotates the positioning screw 11 through the positioning screw cylinder 10 and into the corresponding positioning hole to lock the tightening member 8 in the set position. Finally, the precise clamping of all hoses is completed. Through the continuous rotation of the multi-station turntable 2, the assembly process at each station is completed in sequence, thereby completing a series of tasks.

[0020] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
