Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly equipment, and in particular to an assembly equipment for a ball valve end. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, ball valves are widely used as important fluid control components in fields such as petroleum, chemical, power, and water supply. The sealing performance of a ball valve directly affects the safety and efficiency of the entire system. Among them, the rubber ring, as a key sealing element of the ball valve, has its assembly quality and efficiency being crucial to the overall performance of the ball valve.

[0003] Traditional rubber ring assembly methods mostly rely on manual operation. Although simple, they are inefficient. Manual assembly is not only time-consuming, but it can also lead to insufficient production capacity during peak production periods, failing to meet the needs of large-scale production. Long hours of manual assembly can easily cause operator fatigue, which in turn affects work efficiency and assembly quality. Furthermore, the skill level of operators varies greatly during manual assembly, which can easily lead to improper assembly of the rubber ring, thereby affecting the sealing performance of the ball valve.

[0040] 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.

[0041] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-7 The ball valve end assembly equipment shown includes: a frame 1; an end turntable 2, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the frame 1 and is used to drive the rotation of the ball valve end for feeding; a third stepper motor is installed inside the frame 1 to facilitate the rotation of the end turntable 2; multiple placement slots are provided on the edge of the end turntable 2; by placing the ball valve end inside the placement slot, the rotation of the end turntable 2 can achieve the rotational feeding of the ball valve end; a rubber ring placement device 3, which is installed on one side of the frame 1 and is used to assemble the rubber ring into the inside of the ball valve end; and a rubber ring pressing device 4, which is installed on the frame 1 and is used to press the rubber ring.

[0042] The rubber ring placement device 3 includes: a storage box 31, on which a vibration motor is installed to facilitate the vibration feeding of the rubber rings so that they can fall into the rubber ring discharge mechanism 32. The storage box 31 is mounted on the frame 1 via a bracket and is used to store the rubber rings; a rubber ring discharge mechanism 32, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the storage box 31; a rubber ring pushing mechanism 33, mounted on a first fixed frame, which is mounted on the frame 1, and is used to push the rubber rings on the rubber ring discharge mechanism 32; and a rubber ring feeding mechanism 34. The rubber ring feeding mechanism 34 is installed on the first fixed frame. The rubber ring is guided to feed the rubber ring through the rubber ring discharge mechanism 32. The rotation of the rubber ring pushing mechanism 33 facilitates the movement of the rubber ring towards the end of the rubber ring discharge mechanism 32. The reciprocating rotation of the rubber ring feeding mechanism 34 facilitates the hooking of the rubber ring at the end of the rubber ring discharge mechanism 32 and feeding it into the ball valve end. Then, with the rubber ring pressing device 4 pressing the rubber ring, the rubber ring can be mechanically installed into the ball valve end, realizing the automated assembly of the rubber ring and effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy of manual operation.

[0043] The rubber ring discharging mechanism 32 includes: a guide rail 321, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 31, and the guide rail 321 is inclined downwards; balls 322, which are symmetrically rolled and embedded in the other end of the guide rail 321, and are located on the inner side of the guide rail 321; and a cover plate 323, which is symmetrically installed on the inner side of the guide rail 321 and is used to limit the movement of the balls 322. A strip-shaped through groove is provided at the top of the guide rail 321 to facilitate... The user's observation of the rubber ring facilitates the advancement of the rubber ring by the rubber ring pushing mechanism 33. The guide rail 321 facilitates the guidance of the rubber ring, and the two balls 322 help to limit the position of the first rubber ring inside the guide rail 321 to prevent the rubber ring from falling off. When the rubber ring feeding mechanism 34 hooks the rubber ring, the rolling of the balls 322 also makes the rubber ring discharge smoother. The cover plate 323 helps to limit the position of the balls 322 to prevent the balls 322 from falling off, thus realizing the installation of the balls 322.

[0044] The rubber ring pushing mechanism 33 includes: a first stepper motor 331, which is fixedly mounted on a first fixed frame, and the output end of the first stepper motor 331 is connected to a first main shaft; and a rotating brush 332, which is connected to the end of the first main shaft. The rotating brush 332 has multiple clusters of bristles arranged in a circular array, so that when the first stepper motor 331 drives the rotating brush 332 to rotate, the rotation of the bristles can push the rubber ring inside the guide rail 321, so that the rubber ring tends to move towards the ball bearing 322, making the pre-stored rubber ring inside the guide rail 321 more compact.

[0045] The rubber ring feeding mechanism 34 includes: a second stepper motor 341, which is fixedly mounted on the first fixed frame, and the output end of the second stepper motor 341 is connected to the second main shaft; and a feeding hook 342, which is connected to the end of the second main shaft. The second stepper motor 341 facilitates the reciprocating rotation of the feeding hook 342, thereby facilitating the hooking of the rubber ring at the end of the guide rail 321 and feeding it into the interior of the ball valve end below it, so as to realize the assembly of the rubber ring.

[0046] The rubber ring clamping device 4 includes: a rotating disk 41; a second fixed frame mounted on the frame 1; a fourth stepper motor mounted on the back of the second fixed frame; the fourth stepper motor drives the rotating disk 41 to rotate, which in turn drives one end of the rotating pusher 42 to perform circular motion. The rotating pusher 42 is rotatably connected between the rotating disk 41 and the slide plate 43, thus enabling the rotating pusher 42 to reciprocate on the slide plate 43. A slider is mounted on the back of the slide plate 43, and a slide rail is slidably fitted inside the slider. The slide rail is mounted on the second fixed frame. The fixed frame allows for limiting the vertical sliding of the slide plate 43, making its vertical reciprocating motion more stable. The rotating disk 41 is rotatably mounted on the front of the second fixed frame. The rotating pusher 42 has one end rotatably connected to the rotating disk 41 and is eccentrically mounted relative to the rotating disk 41. The slide plate 43 is slidably mounted on the front of the second fixed frame. The pressure head 44 is mounted on the slide plate 43, and the slide plate 43 facilitates the vertical reciprocating motion of the pressure head 44 to press the rubber ring tightly into the inside of the ball valve end.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
