Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter connector assembly technology, and in particular to a fully automatic intelligent water meter connector assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] As an important tool for modern water management, smart water meters integrate sensing, communication and data processing technologies to achieve intelligent and precise water use monitoring. In order to facilitate the installation of water meters into pipelines in the subsequent process, connectors are often threaded on both ends of the water meter during the production process. When assembling smart water meters with connectors, it is often necessary to install sealing gaskets in the connectors in advance to enhance the sealing performance. This is a key step in the assembly of connectors and water meters.

[0003] In most existing smart water meter and connector assembly lines, when assembling connectors, it is often necessary to manually place the sealing gasket inside the connector before assembling the connector and then assemble the connector with the water meter. This can lead to the risk of the connector with the sealing gasket installed falling off during the transfer process. In addition, manual installation of the sealing gasket is not only inefficient, affecting the overall assembly efficiency of the connector and water meter, but may also result in improper installation, which can affect the sealing performance after assembly.

[0004] To address this, a fully automatic intelligent water meter connector assembly device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fully automatic intelligent water meter connector assembly device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic intelligent water meter connector assembly device, comprising an assembly table and a clamping and adjusting assembly disposed on the assembly table. The assembly table is provided with a first turntable and a second turntable, and four trays are fixedly installed on both the first turntable and the second turntable. The assembly table is provided with two sets of automatic installation assemblies for installing sealing gaskets on the connectors. The automatic installation assembly includes an installation plate disposed on the top of the tray for placing the sealing gaskets. A limiting plate is disposed in the tray, and an adsorption plate is disposed on the top of the installation plate for installing the sealing gaskets into the connectors.

[0007] Preferably, two of the trays are fixedly mounted with brackets for placing water meters, and each of the other two trays is provided with a limiting plate.

[0008] Preferably, both of the trays are fixedly connected to guide rails, the guide rails have grooves, and the limiting plate is slidably connected in the grooves. The limiting plate is rotatably connected to a limiting ring for placing the joint.

[0009] Preferably, the assembly table is provided with two sets of transfer components, which are used for placing the water meter on the support and transferring the water meter after the connector is assembled.

[0010] Preferably, a feeding assembly for conveying sealing gaskets is fixedly installed on the assembly table, and the feeding assembly is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. A base plate is slidably connected to the mounting plate, and a cylinder is fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, a first electric push rod is fixedly installed on the bracket on the mounting plate, and an adsorption plate is fixedly installed on the first electric push rod.

[0012] Preferably, two second electric push rods are fixedly installed on the assembly table, and a rotary electric gripper is fixedly connected to the second electric push rod.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention, through the setting of a clamping and adjusting component, enables the adsorption plate to adsorb the sealing gasket during the assembly process of the connector and water meter. Under the action of the first electric push rod, the sealing gasket is installed into the connector. After the sealing gasket is installed, the connector moves to the clamping and adjusting component. The cooperation of the rotating electric gripper and the second electric push rod enables the connector and water meter to be automatically assembled.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a fully automatic intelligent water meter connector assembly device, including an assembly table 1 and a clamping and adjusting component 2 disposed on the assembly table 1. The clamping and adjusting component 2 is a prior art technology, which can clamp and fix the water meter to be assembled, and after the bottom connector of the water meter is assembled, it can be flipped over and rotated to adjust the water meter from right to left for the assembly of the other end connector. The assembly table 1 is provided with a first turntable 3 and a second turntable 4, and four support plates 5 are fixedly installed on the first turntable 3 and the second turntable 4. The assembly table 1 is provided with two sets of automatic installation components for installing sealing gaskets on the connectors. By setting the automatic installation components, the sealing gaskets can be automatically installed into the connectors during the automatic assembly process between the connectors and the water meter, thereby replacing manual installation of the sealing gaskets and improving the overall assembly speed between the water meter and the connectors. The automatic installation components include an installation plate 6 disposed on the top of the support plate 5 for placing the sealing gaskets, a limiting plate 7 disposed in the support plate 5, and an adsorption plate 8 disposed on the top of the installation plate 6 for installing the sealing gaskets into the connectors.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, specifically, the assembly table 1 is equipped with two sets of transfer components 13. The two sets of transfer components 13 are used for placing the water meter on the support 9 and for transferring the water meter after the connector is assembled. Guide rails 10 are fixedly connected to both support plates 5. The guide rails 10 have grooves 11, and the limiting plate 7 is slidably connected in the grooves 11. The limiting plate 7 is rotatably connected with a limiting ring 12 for placing the connector. During assembly, the first turntable 3 gradually rotates, thereby driving the support plate 5 to rotate. The limiting plate 7 and the limiting ring 12 on the support plate 5 gradually rotate to the opposite side of the transfer components 13. When the device is positioned, the connector feeding equipment on the corresponding external production line can place the connector into the limiting ring 12. This is existing technology and is not specifically shown in the figure. The connector is placed on the limiting ring 12, which is gradually rotated to this position. The two trays 5 are fixedly installed with brackets 9 for placing water meters, and the other two trays 5 are provided with limiting plates 7. When the bracket 9 is set on the tray 5 and the bracket 9 rotates to this position, the external connector feeding equipment does not perform connector feeding work. When the bracket 9 and the limiting ring 12 move alternately to this position, the connector is only placed in the limiting ring 12.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, specifically, a feeding assembly 14 for conveying sealing gaskets is fixedly installed on the assembly table 1, and the feeding assembly 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 6. A base plate 15 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 6, and a cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the base plate 15. A first electric push rod 17 is fixedly installed on the bracket on the mounting plate 6, and an adsorption plate 8 is fixedly installed on the first electric push rod 17. An adsorption pump 18 is fixedly installed on the first electric push rod 17, and a telescopic pipe 19 connects the adsorption pump 18 and the adsorption plate 8. In the above process, after the connector is placed in the limiting ring 12, the connector moves to the bottom end of the mounting plate 6 under the rotation of the first turntable 3, and the first electric push rod 17 is activated to push the adsorption plate 8. Plate 8 moves downward and fits against the sealing gasket on the base plate 15. At the same time, the adsorption pump 18 starts working and generates adsorption force through the telescopic pipe 19, so that the adsorption plate 8 has adsorption capacity. The adsorption plate 8 is hollow inside and has small holes on the bottom end face, so as to achieve adsorption of the bottom sealing gasket. At this time, the cylinder 16 is activated to pull the base plate 15 to move away from the mounting plate 6, so that the adsorption plate 8 adsorbs the sealing gasket and moves downward under the action of the first electric push rod 17 and enters the joint. After the sealing gasket is installed inside the joint, it can better fit against the mounting surface of the joint cavity under the pushing and squeezing of the first electric push rod 17, and it is not easy for it to be misaligned or not installed properly.

[0027] After installation, the adsorption pump 18 stops generating adsorption force, and the adsorption plate 8 no longer adsorbs the sealing gasket. The first electric push rod 17 is driven in the reverse direction to move the bottom adsorption plate 8 upward and disengage from the joint. The drive cylinder 16 pushes the bottom plate 15 back into the mounting plate 6. The feeding component 14 can automatically feed the sealing gasket. The feeding component 14 is existing technology and can gradually feed the sealing gasket onto the bottom plate 15 on the feeding rail, that is, into the mounting plate 6, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation of the sealing gasket. The telescopic pipe 19 is a telescopic and elastic pipe, which is existing technology. It is convenient to telescopically coordinate with the up and down movement of the adsorption plate 8. The installation of the sealing gasket in the joint will only be performed when the support plate 5 on which the joint is placed rotates and moves to this position. When the support 9 on the support plate 5 rotates and moves to this position, no installation work is performed.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, specifically, as the first turntable 3 rotates, when the support 9 on the pallet 5 rotates to the transfer assembly 13, the transfer assembly 13 clamps and transfers the water meter from the external production line to the support 9, thus completing the water meter loading. This is existing technology. Subsequently, the first turntable 3 rotates again, causing the support 9 to rotate to the clamping and adjusting assembly 2. The clamping and adjusting assembly 2 clamps the water meter on the support 9. The first turntable 3 rotates again, causing the connector on the subsequent pallet 5 after the sealing gasket installation to move to the clamping and adjusting assembly 2. Two second electric push rods 20 are fixedly installed on the assembly table 1, and a rotating electric gripper 21 is fixedly connected to the second electric push rod 20. At this time, the second electric push rod 20 is activated to push the rotating electric gripper 21 to move upward. After the rotating electric gripper 21 moves upward a short distance, the rotating electric gripper 21 is activated so that its top gripper clamps the connector. After clamping, the electric gripper 21 rotates gradually. At this time, the clamped connector gradually rises and rotates. During the rise of the connector, the gripper on the electric gripper 21 will contact the limiting ring 12 and push it to rise. This causes the limiting plate 7 to move upward in the slide groove 11 in the guide rail 10. The slide groove 11 limits the limiting plate 7, keeping it moving vertically. This limits the movement of the limiting ring 12 and the connector placed inside, preventing the connector from shifting. At the same time, the connector rotates and rises, gradually contacting the water meter at the top, so that the connector is gradually threaded onto the water meter. Then, the electric gripper 21 is released from clamping the connector, and the second electric push rod 20 is driven to move the electric gripper 21 downward to reset. The limiting plate 7 and the limiting ring 12 move downward along the slide groove 11 to reset. At this time, the assembly of the connector on the water meter is completed.

[0029] In the above process, after the connector at one end of the water meter is assembled, the tray 5 with the limit ring 12 rotates with the first turntable 3 to the next position, which is directly opposite the transfer component 13 mentioned in the above process. The connector is then placed again by the external component. Simultaneously, the clamping and adjusting component 2 moves the water meter with the assembled connector at one end to the other side, i.e., the top of the second turntable 4. The water meter is then rotated so that the end with the unassembled connector at the top faces downwards, facilitating the connector assembly on the second turntable 4. The second turntable 4 operates in the same way as the first turntable 3, using an automatic installation component to install the connector sealing gasket. The connector loading method is the same as that on the first turntable 3. On the second turntable 4, after the sealing gasket on the limit ring 12 of the tray 5 is installed, the connector also rotates and moves to the clamping and adjusting component 2, and then the assembly between the connector and the water meter is completed in the same way, thus achieving the assembly of the connector at the other end of the water meter. After assembly, the second turntable 4 rotates, causing the support 9 on the tray 5 to rotate to the clamping and adjusting component 2. The clamping and adjusting component 2 places the assembled water meter into the support 9. When the support 9 rotates to the transfer component 13, the transfer component 13 removes the water meter from the support 9. At this point, the assembly of the two ends of the water meter is completed. Overall, the entire device completes the assembly of one end of the water meter on the first turntable 3 and the assembly of the other end of the water meter on the second turntable 4. Since the water meter needs to be transferred from the first turntable 3 to the second turntable 4 and needs to rotate, the support 9 on the first turntable 3 and the support 9 on the second turntable 4 are respectively provided with corresponding placement slots on the upper and lower sides of the water meter, which facilitates the placement of the water meter. While the connectors and water meter are being assembled, the tops of other trays 5 can simultaneously complete their required operations, such as the installation of sealing gaskets or the placement of the water meter. Each operation is performed simultaneously and in a cyclical manner, improving the overall assembly efficiency.
