[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0021] like Figure 1-4The fully automatic pipe cap assembly machine shown includes a housing 1, a water-stop rubber pad feeding vibratory plate 3, a water-stop cap feeding vibratory plate 4, a lifting rod feeding vibratory plate 6, and a decorative cap feeding vibratory plate 8. A multi-station rotating mechanism 2, a flipping mechanism 5, a lifting rod rubber pad feeding vibratory plate 7, a photoelectric detection mechanism 9, and a feeding mechanism 10 are respectively connected to the housing 1. The water-stop rubber pad feeding vibratory plate 3, water-stop cap feeding vibratory plate 4, flipping mechanism 5, lifting rod feeding vibratory plate 6, lifting rod rubber pad feeding vibratory plate 7, decorative cap feeding vibratory plate 8, photoelectric detection mechanism 9, and feeding mechanism 10 are arranged sequentially around the multi-station rotating mechanism 2. The water-stop rubber pad feeding vibratory plate 3, lifting rod feeding vibratory plate 6, decorative cap feeding vibratory plate 8, and feeding mechanism 10 are also connected. A conveying mechanism 11 is provided between the 10 and the multi-station rotating mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 11 is connected to the outer shell 1. A transfer platform is provided between the water-stop rubber pad feeding vibratory plate 3 and the water-stop cap feeding vibratory plate 4, and between the lifting rod feeding vibratory plate 6 and the lifting rod rubber pad feeding vibratory plate 7. The transfer platform is located directly below the conveying mechanism 11. The multi-station rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating motor 22, which is connected to the outer shell 1. A turntable 21 is connected to the rotating motor 22. The rotating motor 22 is used to drive the turntable 21 to rotate. Multiple bases 23 are connected to the turntable 21. The multiple bases 23 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals. The number of bases 23 is set to 8, and a pair of processing grooves are opened at the top of the base 23.

[0022] In various industrial piping systems, pipe cap assemblies are commonly used for pipe sealing, waterproofing, and aesthetic coverage. A typical pipe cap assembly includes five structural components: a water-stop gasket, a water-stop cap, a lifting bar, a lifting bar gasket, and a decorative cap. There are clear assembly sequences and matching requirements between these components. To ensure assembly quality and efficiency, modern manufacturing demands automation and standardization in the assembly process of pipe cap assemblies. Currently, the common assembly methods on the market are mainly manual assembly or partially automated operations, typically using vibratory feeders, manual-assisted assembly, or single-station automatic assembly. While these methods can automate some processes, they have limitations in multi-component assembly, angle adjustment, precise positioning, and process connection, especially in continuous and efficient assembly, multi-angle component matching, and full-process quality inspection.

[0023] In this scheme, the vibratory feeder 4 for water-stop caps is used to transport water-stop caps, and the vibratory feeder 3 for water-stop pads is used to transport water-stop pads. The conveying mechanism 11 is used to transport the water-stop caps and water-stop pads to the multi-station rotating mechanism 2. Before the water-stop caps and water-stop pads are transported to the multi-station rotating mechanism 2, they will first stop on the transfer platform and be pre-assembled. The rotating motor 22 continuously drives the turntable 21 to rotate intermittently. Multiple bases 23 continuously pass under the conveying mechanism 11. The assembled water-stop caps and water-stop pads are placed in one of the processing slots on the base 23. The inner cavities of the pair of processing slots match the front and back shapes of the water-stop caps, respectively. As the turntable 21 continues to rotate, the flipping mechanism 5 flips the water-stop caps and transfers them to another processing slot, so that the front faces up, which is convenient for the subsequent installation of the lifting rod. The vibratory feeder 6 is used to convey the lifting rod, the vibratory feeder 7 for the lifting rod pad is used to convey the lifting rod pad, and the conveying mechanism 11 is used to transport the lifting rod and the lifting rod pad to the multi-station rotating mechanism 2. Before the lifting rod and the lifting rod pad are transported to the multi-station rotating mechanism 2, the lifting rod and the lifting rod pad will first stop on the transfer platform and be pre-assembled. Then, the conveying mechanism 11 will install them on the front of the waterstop cap. Finally, the waterstop cap will move to the front of the decorative cap feeding vibratory feeder 8. The decorative cap feeding vibratory feeder 8 is used to transport the decorative cap. The conveying mechanism 11 will install the decorative cap on the top of the waterstop cap, thus completing the installation of the five parts of the pipe cap. Then, the finished pipe cap will be inspected for quality by the photoelectric detection mechanism 9. Then, it will come to the front of the unloading mechanism 10. The conveying mechanism 11 will move the pipe cap to the unloading mechanism 10 for unloading. Qualified and unqualified products will be classified by the unloading mechanism 10.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 10 includes a feeding bracket 101, which is connected to the outer shell 1. The top of the feeding bracket 101 is inclined, and one end of the feeding bracket 101 extends to the outside of the outer shell 1. A diverter plate 103 is rotatably connected to the top of the feeding bracket 101, and an electric push rod 102 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the feeding bracket 101. A rotating block is rotatably connected to the output end of the electric push rod 102. The rotating block is connected to the rotating shaft of the diverter plate 103, and the inner cavity of the feeding bracket 101 is connected to the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.

[0025] In this solution, the electric push rod 102 can drive the rotating block to move, and the rotation of the rotating block and the diverting plate 103 can drive the diverting plate 103 to flip. When the qualified products are unloaded, the diverting plate 103 is flush with the surface of the unloading bracket 101. The qualified products slide down the surface of the diverting plate 103 and the unloading bracket 101 to the outside of the outer shell 1 and are transferred by the external conveyor belt. When the unqualified products are unloaded, the diverting plate 103 flips, and the falling unqualified products directly avoid the diverting plate 103 and fall into the inner cavity of the unloading bracket 101, and then into the interior of the outer shell 1. The user can set a container inside the outer shell 1 to collect the unqualified products.

[0026] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
