Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic assembly device for water pipe connector handles includes a workbench 1, on which a vibratory feeder 2, an O-ring transfer mechanism, a handle transfer mechanism, and a material handling mechanism are mounted. The discharge end of the vibratory feeder 2 is connected to a direct vibration feeding mechanism. The material handling mechanism includes an assembly channel 3 and a shift fork assembly. The handle transfer mechanism includes a first mounting base 3, an X-axis guide rail 4, a handle drive assembly, and a handle positioning block 5. The O-ring transfer mechanism includes a second mounting base 6, a first Y-axis guide rail 7, an O-ring drive assembly, and an O-ring positioning block 8. This invention uses the handle transfer mechanism and the O-ring transfer mechanism to sequentially transfer the handle and O-ring to the material handling mechanism, achieving automated assembly with the water pipe connector body 10, improving assembly stability and efficiency, and reducing labor costs for enterprises.

[0022] There are three vibratory feeders 2, each including a vibratory feeder body 21 and a spiral feeding track 22. The three spiral feeding tracks 22 are connected to the feeding end of the O-ring transfer mechanism, the feeding end of the pressure handle transfer mechanism, and the feeding end of the material handling mechanism respectively through a direct vibration feeding mechanism. The direct vibration feeding mechanism includes a direct vibration track 9 and a direct vibration groove 11. The direct vibration groove 11 is located above the direct vibration track 9, and one end of the direct vibration groove 11 is connected to the spiral feeding track 22. The water pipe connector body 10, pressure handle 20, and O-ring 30 to be assembled are placed in the corresponding vibratory feeder body 21 respectively. They are conveyed to the corresponding transfer mechanism through the spiral feeding track 22 and the direct vibration feeding mechanism and assembled sequentially in the assembly channel 3, which is more efficient.

[0023] The shift fork assembly includes a third mounting base 12, a second Y-axis guide rail 13, a positioning conveyor plate drive assembly 14, and a positioning conveyor plate 15. The second Y-axis guide rail 13 is mounted on the third mounting base 12. The positioning conveyor plate drive assembly 14 is movably mounted on the second Y-axis guide rail 13. The positioning conveyor plate 15 is mounted on the positioning conveyor plate drive assembly 14. The positioning conveyor plate 15 is driven to move axially along the assembly channel 3 to convey the water pipe connector body 10 to the assembly station. The assembly channel 3 can be divided into a waiting position, a pressure handle assembly position, and an O-ring assembly position. The positioning conveyor plate 15 is provided with two slots, which can simultaneously clamp two water pipe connector bodies 10 and place them in the pressure handle assembly position and the O-ring assembly position, respectively, so as to realize the simultaneous assembly of the pressure handle and the O-ring, forming a continuous production line and improving work efficiency.

[0024] The pressure handle driving assembly includes a pressure handle transplanting cylinder 16, a pressure handle pressing cylinder 17, and a pressure handle ejecting cylinder 18. The pressure handle ejecting cylinder 18 is mounted on the pressure handle pressing cylinder 17.

The pressure handle is elastically pressed into the end of the water pipe connector body 10 by the pressure handle ejecting cylinder 18, which is simpler and more stable than the traditional method of pressing in from the side notch.

[0025] The O-ring drive assembly includes an O-ring X-axis transfer cylinder 19, an O-ring Z-axis transfer cylinder 23, and an O-ring assembly cylinder 24. The O-ring assembly cylinder 24 is mounted on the O-ring Z-axis transfer cylinder 23. The O-ring X-axis transfer cylinder 19 is connected to the O-ring Z-axis transfer cylinder 23 and drives the O-ring X-axis transfer cylinder 19 to move on the first Y-axis guide rail 7.

[0026] The pressure handle positioning block 5 and the O-ring positioning block 8 are respectively set at the discharge end of the direct vibration feeding mechanism, so that the pressure handle driving assembly and the O-ring driving assembly can grasp the pressure handle and assemble the O-ring more quickly and accurately.

[0027] The workbench 1 is also provided with a material discharge chute 25, which passes through the workbench 1 and is located at the material discharge end of the assembly material channel 3. A material frame 26 is provided below the material discharge chute 25. The material discharge chute 25 allows the assembled water pipe connector to fall accurately into the material frame 26 below, making it more convenient to collect.

[0028] The working principle is as follows:

[0029] The water pipe connector body 10 is conveyed to the waiting position of the assembly channel 3 via the vibratory feeder 2 and the direct vibration feeding mechanism; simultaneously, the pressure handle 20 is conveyed to the pressure handle positioning block 5 via the vibratory feeder 2 and the direct vibration feeding mechanism; after the pressure handle 20 is detected to be in place, the pressure handle pressing cylinder 17 descends to press the pressure handle 20 into the pressure handle head, and then the pressure handle transfer cylinder 16 sends the pressure handle 20 to the pressure handle assembly position above the assembly channel 3; the shifting fork mechanism moves the water pipe connector body 10 from the waiting position to the pressure handle assembly position, and the pressure handle pushing cylinder 18 pushes the pressure handle 20 into the water pipe connector body 10, completing the assembly of the pressure handle 20; the shifting fork mechanism moves the water pipe connector body 10 from the pressure handle assembly position to the O-ring position. Assembly position; O-ring 30 is conveyed to O-ring positioning block 8 via vibratory feeder 2 and direct vibration feeding mechanism. After detection, O-ring drive assembly clamps O-ring 30 and moves it above water pipe connector body 10, and installs O-ring 30 into the groove on water pipe connector body 10; O-ring 30 is clamped again and assembled into another groove on water pipe connector body 10, completing the assembly of two O-rings 30; thus completing the assembly of one water pipe connector handle. When the shift fork mechanism moves the water pipe connector body 10 to the O-ring assembly position with the next O-ring 30 to be installed, the finished product is pushed into the material drop chute 25 and falls into the receiving frame 26 below.

[0030] The above are only some specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
