[0002] Chinese utility model patent with patent number CN202022265661.0 discloses a seamless copper-iron suction tube, which includes an outer tube made of metal, an inner tube made of metal, and an annular solder.

[0003] During assembly, the aforementioned suction pipe requires manual placement of the solder inside the outer guide tube, followed by placing the inner guide tube on the outer guide tube, and then pressing the inner guide tube into the outer guide tube under the cylinder to complete the semi-finished suction pipe. Finally, the semi-finished suction pipes are collected and placed in a fixture to await welding.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] See Figures 1-7 This multi-station automatic assembly equipment for connecting pipes includes a fixed platform 1, on which an assembly turntable 2 is positioned and rotated. The fixed platform 1 has a circular array of inner pipe feeding station, inner pipe clamping station, welding ring feeding station, welding ring clamping station, outer pipe feeding station, outer pipe clamping station, and semi-finished product unloading station corresponding to the positioning and rotation positions of the assembly turntable 2. Among them, the inner pipe feeding station and the outer pipe feeding station are respectively equipped with pipe feeding device A, the welding ring feeding station is equipped with welding ring feeding device B, the inner pipe clamping station, the welding ring clamping station, and the outer pipe clamping station are respectively equipped with clamping device C, and the semi-finished product unloading station is equipped with semi-finished product unloading device D.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pipe feeding device A at the inner pipe feeding station realizes the automatic feeding of the inner pipe, the clamping device C at the inner pipe clamping station clamps the inner pipe after feeding, the welding ring feeding device B at the welding ring feeding station automatically feeds the welding ring onto the inner pipe, the clamping device C at the welding ring clamping station clamps the welding ring after feeding, the outer pipe feeding station automatically feeds the outer pipe onto the inner pipe and the welding ring, the clamping device C at the outer pipe clamping station clamps the outer pipe after feeding, and finally the semi-finished product unloading station automatically unloads the semi-finished product after the inner pipe, welding ring and outer pipe are assembled.

[0031] In other words, the entire assembly process, including the placement, pressing, and unloading of connecting pipe fittings, is fully automated and requires no manual intervention. This effectively reduces labor costs and avoids issues such as fatigue and injury during manual operation. Furthermore, the entire assembly process is carried out in quick succession with short intervals, resulting in high production efficiency. Additionally, since the inner tube loading station, inner tube pressing station, welding ring loading station, welding ring pressing station, outer tube loading station, outer tube pressing station, and semi-finished product unloading station are arranged in a ring around the assembly turntable 2, the overall longitudinal and transverse volume of the equipment can be effectively reduced, thereby minimizing space occupancy.

When the assembly turntable 2 is positioned and rotated, the multiple assembly seats 3 correspond to the inner tube loading station, the inner tube clamping station, the welding ring loading station, the welding ring clamping station, the outer tube loading station, the outer tube clamping station, and the semi-finished product unloading station.

[0033] The mounting base 3 is equipped with positioning mounting columns 4 for positioning the inner tube, welding ring, and outer tube.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inner tube, welding ring, and outer tube can be automatically fed onto the positioning assembly column 4. At the same time, the positioning function of the positioning assembly column 4 can effectively position the inner tube, welding ring, and outer tube, thereby avoiding displacement problems of the accessories during assembly and improving the assembly accuracy of the connecting pipe.

[0035] The assembly base 3 extends outward toward the assembly turntable 2, and the inner tube clamping station, the welding ring clamping station, and the outer tube clamping station are respectively provided with support plates 5 corresponding to the assembly base 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom of the assembly seat 3, which is rotated to the inner tube pressing station, the welding ring pressing station, and the outer tube pressing station, is supported by the support plate 5, thereby avoiding damage to the assembly seat 3 when the pressing device C is pressing down. In addition, since the assembly seat 3 extends to the outside of the assembly turntable 2, it can effectively utilize the space and reduce the interference problems between the stations during operation.

[0037] A support frame is provided at the bottom center of the assembly turntable 2. A rotary reducer is provided on the support frame, and a rotary driver 6 is connected to the rotary reducer.

In addition, the rotary driver 6 is a servo motor, which can drive the assembly turntable 2 to rotate while also positioning it at a specified position. This allows multiple assembly seats 3 to correspond to the inner tube loading station, inner tube clamping station, welding ring loading station, welding ring clamping station, outer tube loading station, outer tube clamping station, and semi-finished product unloading station, and to perform the corresponding work.

[0040] In this embodiment, the feeding driver is a driving cylinder, which drives the pipe feeding slider A3 to reciprocate on the pipe feeding guide rail A2 when it is working, so that the pipe clamps on the inner pipe feeding station and the outer pipe feeding station automatically feed the inner pipe and the outer pipe to the positioning assembly column 4 of the assembly base 3 respectively.

[0041] The welding ring feeding device B includes a welding ring feeding bracket B1, a welding ring feeding guide rail B2, a welding ring feeding slider B3, a welding ring feeding driver, and a welding ring pushing rod B4. The welding ring feeding bracket B1 is located outside the assembly turntable 2 and is fixedly mounted on the fixed platform 1.

The clamping bracket C1 is located outside the assembly turntable 2 and is fixedly mounted on the fixed platform 1. The clamping cylinder C2 is longitudinally mounted on the clamping bracket C1, and its clamping end faces the bottom of the clamping bracket C1.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the pressing cylinder C2 is working, its pressing end reciprocates on the pressing bracket C1, so that the inner tube pressing station, the welding ring pressing station, and the outer tube pressing station respectively press the inner tube onto the positioning assembly column 4, the welding ring onto the inner tube and the positioning assembly column 4, and the outer tube presses the inner tube, the welding ring, and the positioning assembly column 4, so as to complete the assembly of the semi-finished connecting pipe.
