[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 The valve stem sealing ring assembly machine shown includes a machine housing 1, a sealing ring feeding device 2, a sealing ring pressing device 3, a valve stem fixing device 4, and a transplanting device 5.

[0027] The sealing ring pressing device 3 is located on the upper end face of the housing 1 and includes two uprights 301 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, a guide rail base plate 302, a set of first linear guide rail pairs 303, a lead screw drive pair 304, a drive motor 305 connected to the lead screw on the lead screw drive pair 304, a connecting base plate 306, a second linear guide rail pair 307, a cylinder mounting plate 308, and a set of sealing ring assembly cylinders 309.

[0028] The two uprights 301 are inherently connected to the chassis 1 and to both ends of the guide rail base plate 302 respectively, providing a stable support structure for the entire sealing ring pressing device 3.

[0029] A set of first linear guide rail pairs 303 is provided on the guide rail base plate 302, and its slide is inherently connected to the connecting base plate 306, so that the connecting base plate 306 can move horizontally under the guidance of the first linear guide rail pairs 303.

[0030] The guide rail base plate 302 is also connected to the lead screw nut seat on the lead screw transmission pair 303. The lead screw transmission pair 304 cooperates with the drive motor 305. The drive motor 305 drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the connecting base plate 306 to move linearly along the first linear guide rail pair 303, realizing the horizontal position adjustment of the pressing device.

[0031] The second linear guide pair 307 is vertically mounted on the connecting base plate 306, and its slider is inherently connected to the cylinder mounting plate 308. The cylinder mounting plate 308 can move vertically under the guidance of the second linear guide pair 307.

[0032] Two sealing ring assembly cylinders 309 are mounted on cylinder mounting plate 308 and are used for press-fitting the sealing rings.

[0033] The sealing ring feeding device 2 has two sets, both located in the housing 1. The sealing ring feeding device 2 is a vibratory feeder feeding device. The vibratory feeder feeding device can arrange the sealing rings in an orderly manner and transport them to the designated position through vibration, which facilitates subsequent assembly.

[0034] The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 310 is connected to the connecting base plate 306, and its telescopic rod is connected to the cylinder mounting plate 308. It is used to drive the vertical movement of the two sealing ring assembly cylinders 309, which are mounted on the connecting base plate 306.

[0035] The valve stem fixing device 4 includes a base frame 401 and two adjustable clamps 402 mounted on the base frame 401. Each adjustable clamp 402 includes a cylindrical base 402a, three connecting blocks 402b, and three limiting blocks 402c. The cylindrical base 402a has a sliding groove 402d that matches the lower part of the connecting block 402b, allowing the lower part of the connecting block 402b to move within the sliding groove 402d. The connecting block 402b is connected to the cylindrical base 402a by screws. By adjusting the position of the connecting block 402b in the sliding groove 402d, valve stems of different sizes can be accommodated. The upper part of the connecting block 402b has a mounting groove 402e that connects to the limiting blocks 402c, and the lower part of the limiting blocks 402c has a connecting insert 402f that matches the mounting groove 402e, facilitating the installation and removal of the limiting blocks 402c. The limiting block 402c has an arc-shaped cutout 402g on one side near the axis of the cylindrical base 402a. This arc-shaped cutout 402g can better fit the shape of the valve stem and improve the fixing effect of the valve stem.

[0036] The transplanting device 5 includes a transplanting base frame 501, a transplanting robot arm 502, a rotary cylinder 503, and a gripper cylinder 504 with grippers. The transplanting robot arm 502 is mounted on the transplanting base frame 501 and can achieve multi-degree-of-freedom movement, used to transfer the valve stem between different work positions. The cylinder body of the rotary cylinder 503 is connected to the transplanting robot arm 502, and the output shaft of the rotary cylinder 503 is connected to the cylinder body of the gripper cylinder 504. The rotary cylinder 503 can drive the gripper cylinder 504 to rotate in order to adjust the angle of the valve stem. The grippers of the gripper cylinder 504 are used to grasp and release the valve stem.

[0037] The chassis 1 is equipped with a replaceable finished product storage box 6 for storing assembled valve stems with sealing rings. The transfer base 501 is equipped with a valve stem material box 7 for placing valve stems without sealing rings, providing valve stem materials for the assembly machine.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] The operator places the valve stem without the sealing ring into the valve stem material box 7 on the transplanting base frame 501, and at the same time installs the replaceable finished product storage box 6 on the machine casing 1. The transplanting robot arm 502 of the equipment transplanting device 5 is started, which drives the gripper cylinder 504 to move above the valve stem material box 7. The gripper cylinder 504 controls the gripper to grab the valve stem.

[0040] The rotary cylinder 503 adjusts the valve stem angle, and the transfer robot 502 moves the valve stem above the valve stem fixing device 4 and places it into the adjustable clamp 402.

[0041] Prior to this, the operator can adjust the position of the connecting block 402b of the adjustable clamp 402 and fix it with screws to ensure that the valve stem is firmly fixed.

[0042] The vibratory feeders of the two sets of sealing ring feeding devices 2 start working, and the vibration arranges the sealing rings in an orderly manner and transports them to the designated feeding position.

[0043] The drive motor 305 drives the lead screw transmission pair 304, causing the connecting base plate 306 to move on the first linear guide pair 303, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the pressing device.

[0044] Under the guidance of the second linear guide pair 307 and driven by the lifting cylinder 310, the cylinder mounting plate 308 descends, and the two sealing ring assembly cylinders 309 grab the sealing rings and press them onto the designated positions on the valve stem.

[0045] After the pressing is completed, the gripper cylinder 504 of the transplanting device 5 grabs the assembled valve stem again, and the transplanting robot 502 moves it above the finished product storage box 6 on the chassis 1. The gripper cylinder 504 releases the valve stem, allowing the finished product to fall into the finished product storage box 6.

[0046] The embodiments are detailed, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0047] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
