[0029] The working principle is as follows:

[0030] During assembly, nuts 12 are fed one by one to the nut positioning table at the end via the nut feeding mechanism 41. After the nut positioning table detects that the nuts 12 are in place, the nut transfer mechanism 42 removes the nuts 12 from the nut positioning table and places them on the positioning fixture 3 of the turntable 2. The turntable 2 rotates and reaches the positions of the O-ring assembly device 5 and the water pipe transfer assembly device 6. The water pipes 11 are fed one by one to the end via the elevator 611 and the vertical vibration component 612. The material separating mechanism 17 separates the water pipes 11 one by one and pushes them to the water pipe positioning table 613 at the end, waiting for the O-rings 14 to be assembled. The O-ring is transported to the O-ring positioning table 512 at the end via a centrifugal disc. After detection, the O-ring assembly gripper 523 picks up the O-ring 14 and moves it above the water pipe 11, inserting the O-ring 14 into the groove on the water pipe 11 connector. The O-ring is then picked up again and assembled into another groove on the connector, completing the assembly of two O-rings 14. The water pipe transfer mechanism 62 clamps the water pipe 11 and transports it to the corresponding positioning fixture 3. With the assistance of the water pipe guide device 16, it is inserted into the nut 12. The turntable 2 rotates, reaching the position of the water pipe pressing device 7. The water pipe pressing device 7 actuates, pressing... Water pipe 11 is pressed into nut 12; turntable 2 rotates and reaches the position of cap transfer assembly device 8; caps 15 are conveyed one by one to the cap positioning platform at the end through cap feeding mechanism 81; the lifting mechanism below the cap positioning platform lifts up the caps 15 and sends them to the pressure rod of the cap transfer mechanism 82 above, and the cap transfer mechanism 82 clamps the caps 15; the cap transfer mechanism 82 moves to the position fixture 3 above the turntable 2, the pressure rod extends, and presses the caps 15 onto the nut; turntable 2 rotates and reaches the position between spacer transfer assembly device 9 and unloading and transfer device 10; spacer 13 passes through... The spacer sleeves are fed one by one by the spacer sleeve feeding mechanism 91 to the spacer sleeve positioning platform at the end; the spacer sleeve transfer mechanism 92 grabs the spacer sleeves 13 and places them on the spacer sleeve guide assembly 925; the spacer sleeve guide assembly 925 moves to the assembly position, the unloading claw 1042 grabs the water pipe kit from the positioning fixture 3, moves it above the spacer sleeve guide assembly 925, presses the product down into the spacer sleeve 13, completes the assembly of the spacer sleeve 13, and then grabs and lifts the product again. The spacer sleeve guide assembly 925 moves back to the receiving station. At this time, the unloading claw 1042 releases, and the product falls from the unloading port 18 into the receiving frame below.

[0031] 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.
