A quick-connect fitting includes a housing, a sealing assembly, a safety ring, and a latch. The sealing assembly includes a first sealing ring, a release ring, and a second sealing ring. The housing has a mounting cavity with a circular cross-section and an opening communicating with the mounting cavity. The first sealing ring, the release ring, and the second sealing ring are sequentially disposed within the mounting cavity. The safety ring is located at the opening and is at least partially within the housing; the safety ring prevents the sealing assembly from detaching from the housing. The latch is connected to the housing.
[0003] In the prior art, when assembling a quick-connect fitting, the first sealing ring, the isolation ring, and the safety ring are placed into the assembly cavity through the opening by manual means, the safety ring is pressed into place, and the locking buckle is snapped onto the housing.

[0019] In some embodiments, a first detection module is provided between the first assembly module and the second assembly module, between the second assembly module and the third assembly module, and after the third assembly module. The first detection module is used to detect the height of the first sealing ring, the isolation ring, or the second sealing ring in the housing, and to determine whether the first sealing ring, the isolation ring, or the second sealing ring is missing or extra based on the height.
[0020] In some embodiments, the fourth assembly module includes a second robotic arm and a pressing assembly, wherein the first robotic arm is used to pick up the safety ring and place the safety ring at the opening of the housing, and the pressing assembly is used to press the safety ring located at the opening of the housing to press the safety ring at least partially onto the housing.

[0066] A car includes several pipelines, and quick-connect fittings are an important component of these pipelines. A quick-connect fitting includes a housing, a sealing assembly, a safety ring, and a latch. The sealing assembly includes a first sealing ring, a release ring, and a second sealing ring. The housing has a mounting cavity with a circular cross-section and an opening communicating with the mounting cavity. The first sealing ring, the release ring, and the second sealing ring are sequentially disposed within the mounting cavity. The safety ring is located at the opening and at least partially within the mounting cavity, preventing the sealing assembly from detaching from the housing. The latch is connected to the housing.
[0067] In the prior art, when assembling a quick-connect fitting, the first sealing ring, the isolation ring, and the safety ring are placed into the assembly cavity through the opening by manual means, the safety ring is pressed into place, and the locking buckle is snapped onto the housing.
[0068] However, manual production is inefficient.
[0069] For example, referring to the patent document with authorization announcement number CN217382103U and title "Connecting Connector", the female connector 10 is equivalent to the quick-connect connector mentioned in this application; the safety ring 14 is equivalent to the safety ring mentioned in this application; the first sealing ring 15 is equivalent to the second sealing ring mentioned in this application; the isolation ring 16 is equivalent to the isolation ring mentioned in this application; the second sealing ring 17 is equivalent to the first sealing ring mentioned in this application; and the second latch 40 is equivalent to the latch mentioned in this application.
[0070] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 14To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a quick-connect connector assembly system, comprising: a fixture 100; a conveyor line 200 for conveying the fixture 100; a loading module 300 for placing the housing 10 of the quick-connect connector onto the fixture 100 when the fixture 100 is conveyed to the loading module 300; a first assembly module 400 for placing the first sealing ring 21 of the quick-connect connector into the assembly cavity of the housing 10 when the fixture 100 is conveyed to the first assembly module 400; and a second assembly module 500 for assembling the quick-connect connector into the assembly cavity of the housing 10 when the fixture 100 is conveyed to the second assembly module 500. The isolation ring 22 of the connector is placed in the assembly cavity of the housing 10; the third assembly module 600 is used to place the second sealing ring 23 of the quick-connect connector in the assembly cavity of the housing 10 when the jig 100 is transported to the third assembly module 600; the fourth assembly module 700 is used to assemble the safety ring of the quick-connect connector onto the housing 10 when the jig 100 is transported to the fourth assembly module 700; the fifth assembly module 800 is used to assemble the locking buckle of the quick-connect connector onto the housing 10 when the jig 100 is transported to the fifth assembly module 800, so as to assemble the quick-connect connector on the jig 100.
[0071] This application provides a quick-connect connector assembly system, in which a jig 100 is conveyed via a conveyor line 200 for streamlined operation; when the jig 100 is conveyed to the loading module 300, the loading module 300 automatically places the quick-connect connector housing onto the jig 100 on the conveyor line 200; when the jig 100 is conveyed to the first assembly module 400, the first assembly module 400 automatically places the first sealing ring 21 of the quick-connect connector into the assembly cavity of the housing 10; when the jig 100 is conveyed to the second assembly module 500, the quick-connect connector housing is automatically placed into the assembly cavity of the housing 10; when the jig 100 is conveyed to the second assembly module 500, the quick-connect connector housing is automatically placed into the assembly cavity of the housing 10. The second assembly module 500 automatically places the isolation ring 22 of the quick-connect connector into the assembly cavity of the housing; the fixture 100 is conveyed to the third assembly module 600, which automatically places the second sealing ring 23 of the quick-connect connector into the assembly cavity of the housing; when the fixture 100 is conveyed to the fourth assembly module 700, the fourth assembly module 700 automatically assembles the safety ring of the quick-connect connector onto the housing; the fixture is conveyed to the fifth assembly module 800, which automatically assembles the latch of the quick-connect connector onto the housing. This automatically completes the assembly of the first sealing ring 21, isolation ring 22, second sealing ring 23, safety ring, and latch of the quick-connect connector at the corresponding positions on the housing 10. Compared to manual assembly, this improves production efficiency and solves the problem of low production efficiency in existing quick-connect connector assembly technology.
[0072] For example, the conveyor line 200 may be composed of one or more existing conveying devices such as roller conveyors, chain conveyors, belt conveyors, magnetic levitation conveyors, AGVs (automatic guided vehicles), etc., or combinations thereof; as long as it can convey fixtures for assembly line operations.
[0073] For example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 14 The fixture 100 has a hole for inserting the housing 10 and a groove for limiting the upper end of the housing 10. Through the hole and the groove, the housing 10 is limited on the fixture 100 in a fixed direction.
[0074] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The quick-connect assembly system includes multiple fixture groups, each fixture group having multiple fixtures 100. The fixtures 100 in the same group are of the same type, and the fixtures 100 in each fixture group are of a different type from the fixtures 100 in other fixture groups. It also includes a replacement module 900, which is used to place or remove fixtures 100 on the conveyor line 200.
[0075] It should be noted that different types of jigs 100 are required for assembling different models of quick-connect couplings. For example, the housing includes a head and a tail, with the assembly cavity located at the head and the tail for insertion into a conduit; a housing 10 for one model of quick-connect coupling can be referenced. Figure 14 One model of quick-connect connector has the head and tail of the housing 10 facing the same direction; another model of quick-connect connector has the tail of the housing tilted relative to the head; the assembly of these two models of quick-connect connectors requires the use of different fixtures to align the opening of the housing 10 in a direction that facilitates assembly.
[0076] Understandably, each fixture group is used to provide different types of fixtures. The fixtures on the conveyor line 200 are removed by the replacement module 900, and then a new fixture is placed on the conveyor line 200 by the replacement module 900 to replace the fixture 100 on the conveyor line. This helps to improve the versatility of the conveyor line 200 in this application.
[0077] For example, the replacement module 900 is a robotic arm capable of picking up and placing fixtures.
[0078] Furthermore, the quick-connect assembly system includes a jig library 910, which is positioned around the replacement module 900. The jig library 910 supplies new types of jig sets to the replacement module 900 and also stores old types of jigs that the replacement module 900 successively removes from the conveyor line 200. The replacement module 900 places old types of jigs removed from the conveyor line 200 onto the jig library 910, and then picks up a new type of jig from the jig library 910 and places it onto the conveyor line 200 to complete the replacement of one jig.
[0079] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveyor line 200 includes a magnetic levitation track 210 and a magnetic levitation vehicle 220 disposed on the magnetic levitation track 210, and the fixture 100 is detachably disposed on the magnetic levitation vehicle 220.
[0080] It should be noted that the magnetic levitation track 210 and the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 set on the magnetic levitation track 210 constitute a conveyor line using the principle of magnetic levitation. The conveyor line using the principle of magnetic levitation is existing technology, and its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.
[0081] Understandably, using a conveyor line 200 based on the principle of magnetic levitation helps ensure the cleanliness of the working environment, the accuracy of jig conveying position control, reduce wear on the conveyor line, and improve the flexibility of jig conveying. The jig 100 is detachably mounted on the magnetic levitation carrier 220 so that the jig 100 on the magnetic levitation carrier 220 can be replaced.
[0082] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 During operation, the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 moves horizontally relative to the magnetic levitation track 210, and the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 lifts the fixture 100 upwards. The fixture 100 has two positioning holes 110, and the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 has two upward-facing positioning pins. When placing the fixture 100 onto the magnetic levitation vehicle 220, first align the positioning holes 110 with the positioning pins on the magnetic levitation vehicle 220, and then place the fixture 100 onto the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 so that the positioning pins are inserted into the positioning holes 110. Under the lifting action of the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 and the constraint of the positioning pins, the relative position between the fixture 100 and the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 is fixed.
[0083] In addition, the jig 100 can also be fixed on the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 by a clamping member. The clamping member is configured to open when the jig 100 needs to be removed from the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 or when the jig 100 needs to be placed on the magnetic levitation vehicle 220, and clamp the jig 100 to fix the jig 100 after it is placed in place on the magnetic levitation vehicle 220.
[0084] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 14 At least one of the feeding module 300, the first assembly module 400, the second assembly module 500, and the third assembly module 600 includes a first robotic arm; the first robotic arm is configured to place the housing 10 of the quick-connect connector on the fixture 100, or to place the first sealing ring 21, the isolation ring 22, or the second sealing ring 23 of the quick-connect connector in the assembly cavity of the housing 10.
[0085] Understandably, the first robotic arm of the loading module 300 is used to place the housing 10 of the quick connector onto the fixture 100; the first robotic arm of the first assembly module 400 is used to place the first sealing ring 21 of the quick connector into the assembly cavity of the housing 10; the first robotic arm of the second assembly module 500 is used to place the isolation ring 22 of the quick connector into the assembly cavity of the housing 10; and the first robotic arm of the third assembly module 600 is used to place the second sealing ring 23 of the quick connector into the assembly cavity of the housing 10.
[0086] It should be noted that different first robotic arms hold the housing 10, the first sealing ring 21, the isolation ring 22, or the second sealing ring 23 by mounting corresponding actuators. The actuators can be pneumatic or electric.
[0087] For example, the first robotic arm has a first quick-change connector, through which the first robotic arm quickly changes the actuator head, so that this application can be applied to the assembly of multiple models of quick-change connectors.
[0088] For example, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As a pneumatic actuator, the first actuator 30 has three first sliders 31 and three first claws 32. The three first sliders 31 are radially distributed and can move closer together or further apart. Each first slider 31 is connected to a first claw 32, which has a positioning surface 32a and a first claw head 32b. The cross-section of the first claw head 32b is approximately fan-shaped, and the positioning surface 32a is located at the first end of the first claw head 32b and perpendicular to it. The first actuator 30 can be used to hold the housing 10. The principle of the first actuator 30 holding the housing 10 is as follows: the three first sliders 31 first move closer together, causing the three first claws 32b to move closer together. Then, the second ends of the first claws 32b, after moving closer together, are inserted into the opening of the housing 10, and the positioning surface 32a abuts against the end face of the opening of the housing 10, so that the first actuator 30 and the housing 10 are mutually positioned. Then, the three first sliders 31 move further apart, causing the three first claws 32b to move further apart, so that the outer sides of the three first claws 32b are respectively supported on the inner wall of the opening of the housing 10 to hold the housing 10. It can be understood that the housing 10 can be placed when the three first claws 32b move closer together again.
[0089] In addition, it is understandable that the first execution head 30 can also be used to hold a safety ring.
[0090] For example, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 14As an electrically operated actuator, the second actuator 40 is used to hold a ring-shaped object 44, which can be a first sealing ring 21, an isolation ring 22, or a second sealing ring 23. The second actuator 40 has a sleeve 42, three second sliders 41, and three second claws. The three second sliders 41 are radially distributed and can move closer together or further apart. Each second slider 41 is connected to a second claw. Each second claw includes an extension rod and a second claw head 43. The first end of the extension rod connects to the second slider 41, and the second claw head 43 is located at the second end of the extension rod. The sleeve 42 is located between the second sliders 41 and the second claw head 43, and each extension rod passes through the sleeve 42. The sleeve 42 can be inserted into the assembly cavity of the housing 10 from the opening of the housing 10, and the length of the sleeve 42 is not less than the depth of the assembly cavity. The principle of the second execution head 40 holding the ring-shaped object 44 is as follows: the three second sliders 41 first move closer together so that the three second claws 43 move closer together. Then, the second claws 43, after moving closer together, are inserted into the inner ring of the ring-shaped object 44. Then, the three second sliders 41 move away from each other so that the three second claws 43 are respectively supported on the inner wall of the ring-shaped object 44 to hold the ring-shaped object 44. It can be understood that after the three second sliders 41 move away from each other, the second execution head 40 holds the ring-shaped object 44.
[0091] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the sleeve 42 is larger than the inner diameter of the ring-shaped object 44 but not larger than the outer diameter of the ring-shaped object 44; when the second actuator 40 holds the ring-shaped object 44, the upper end face of the ring-shaped object 44 can abut against the lower end face of the sleeve 42, so that the first manipulator can press the held ring-shaped object 44 through the second actuator 40. When the first manipulator places the first sealing ring 21 or the second sealing ring 23 into the housing 10, pressing the first sealing ring 21 or the second sealing ring 23 facilitates the first sealing ring 21 or the second sealing ring 23 to be assembled in place in the housing 10.
[0092] For example, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 14As another type of electrically operated actuator, the third actuator 50 has three third sliders 51 and three third claws 52. The three third sliders 51 can move closer together or further apart; each third slider 51 is connected to a third claw 52. The third claw 52 has an extension 52a and a third claw head 52b located at the end of the extension 52a. The cross-section of the third claw head 52b is fan-shaped. The third actuator 50 can be used to hold the isolation ring 22. The principle of the third actuator 50 holding the isolation ring 22 is as follows: the three third sliders 51 first move closer together so that the three third claw heads 52b move closer together, and then the three third claw heads 52b, after moving closer together, are inserted into the inner ring of the isolation ring 22; then, the three third sliders 51 move further apart so that the three third claw heads 52b move further apart, so that the three third claw heads 52b are respectively supported on the inner wall of the isolation ring 22 to hold the isolation ring 22. It can be understood that after the three third sliders 51 move closer together, the third actuator 50 releases the isolation ring 22.
[0093] It should be noted that in some models of quick-connect connectors, the inner diameter of the portion of the housing located between the opening and the assembly cavity is larger than the inner diameter of the assembly cavity. This portion of the housing located between the opening and the assembly cavity is referred to as the feed channel. After the third actuator 50 holds the isolation ring 22, the extension 52a can be inserted into the feed channel at least partially so that the isolation ring is inserted into the assembly cavity.
[0094] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 14 A first detection module 1000 is provided between the first assembly module 400 and the second assembly module 500, between the second assembly module 500 and the third assembly module 600, and after the third assembly module 600. The first detection module 1000 is used to detect the height of the first sealing ring 21, the isolation ring 22 or the second sealing ring 23 in the housing 10, and to determine whether the first sealing ring 21, the isolation ring 22 or the second sealing ring 23 is missing or extra based on the height.
[0095] Understandably, the first detection module located between the first assembly module 400 and the second assembly module 500 is used to detect the height of the first sealing ring 21 in the housing 10 and to determine whether the first sealing ring 21 is missing or extra. The first detection module located between the second assembly module 500 and the third assembly module 600 is used to detect the height of the isolation ring 22 in the housing 10 and to determine whether the isolation ring 22 is missing or extra. The first detection module 1000 located after the third assembly module 600 is used to detect the height of the second sealing ring 23 in the housing 10 and to determine whether the second sealing ring 23 is missing or extra. Through the corresponding first detection module 1000, the missing or extra first sealing ring 21, isolation ring 22, or second sealing ring 23 can be detected in a timely manner. The quick-connect fitting assembly system can be equipped with robotic arms at appropriate positions to remove housings 10 with missing or extra first sealing rings 21, isolation rings 22, or second sealing rings 23 from the conveyor line 200. The quick-connector assembly system can also be configured such that, if a first sealing ring 21 is found to be missing, the corresponding housing 10 is returned to the first assembly module 400 to assemble the first sealing ring 21; if an isolation ring 22 is found to be missing, the corresponding housing 10 is returned to the second assembly module 500 to assemble the isolation ring 22; and if a second sealing ring 23 is found to be missing, the corresponding housing 10 is returned to the third assembly module 600 to assemble the second sealing ring 23.
[0096] For example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The first detection module 1000 includes a movable component 1010, a probe 1020, a linear displacement sensor 1030, a drive component 1040, a first support frame 1050, and a first industrial control component. A conveyor line 200 is mounted on a workbench, and the first support frame 1050 is located beside the conveyor line and its bottom is fixed to the workbench. The movable component 1010 is vertically slidably mounted on the first support frame 1050, and the drive component 1040 drives the movable component 1010 to rise and fall on the first support frame 1050. The movable component 1010 has a sliding sleeve 1011, which is vertically positioned. The probe 1020 is slidably connected to the movable component 1010 via the sliding sleeve 1011. A lower limit ring 1021 and an upper limit ring 1022 are fixedly connected to the probe 1020. The lower limit ring 1021 is located below the lower end of the sliding sleeve 1011, and the upper limit ring 1022 is located above the upper end of the sliding sleeve 1011. A compression spring is fitted onto the probe 1020. The upper end of the compression spring rests against the sliding sleeve 1011, and the lower end rests against the lower limit ring 1021. The diameter of the lower end of the probe 1020 is smaller than the inner diameter of the assembly cavity of the housing so that it can be inserted into the assembly cavity. The diameter of the lower end of the probe 1020 used to detect the first sealing ring 21 is larger than the inner diameter of the first sealing ring 21 so that it can rest against the upper end of the first sealing ring 21. The diameter of the lower end of the probe 1020 used to detect the isolation ring 22 is larger than the inner diameter of the isolation ring 22 so that it can rest against the upper end of the isolation ring 22. The diameter of the lower end of the probe 1020 used to detect the second sealing ring 23 is larger than the inner diameter of the second sealing ring 23 so that it can rest against the upper end of the second sealing ring 23. A linear displacement sensor 1030 is mounted on the moving part 1010. The probe 1031 of the linear displacement sensor 1030 is positioned facing the probe rod 1020 and fixed to the probe rod 1020. The linear displacement sensor 1030 is used to detect the displacement of the probe rod 1020 relative to the moving part 1010. The linear displacement sensor 1030 is connected to the first industrial control component.
[0097] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 14As shown, taking the detection of the height of the first sealing ring 21 as an example, the detection principle of the first detection module 1000 is explained: the driving component 1040 drives the moving component 1010 to move downwards according to a fixed value, so that the lower end of the probe 1020 is inserted into the housing being detected. When the first sealing ring 21 is assembled accurately, the lower end of the probe 1020 abuts against the end of the first sealing ring 21, and the displacement of the probe 1020 relative to the moving component 1010 is h1; when the first sealing ring 21 is missing, the displacement of the probe 1020 relative to the moving component 1010 is 0; when the first sealing ring 21 is over-installed, the displacement of the probe 1020 relative to the moving component 1010 is h2; h2 > h1 > 0. Since the downward movement of the moving part 1010 is a fixed value and the height of the housing 10 is constant during each test, h1, h2 and 0 can be regarded as the "height of the first sealing ring". The first industrial control component uses the values of h1, h2 and 0 to determine whether there is a missing or extra installation.
[0098] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fourth assembly module 700 includes a second robot arm 710 and a pressing assembly 720. The second robot arm 710 is used to pick up the safety ring and place the safety ring into the opening of the housing 10. The pressing assembly 720 is used to press the safety ring located at the opening of the housing 10 to press the safety ring at least partially onto the assembly cavity of the housing 10.
[0099] For example, the second robotic arm 710 can hold the safety ring using a gripper cylinder.
[0100] For example, the second robot arm 710 has a second quick-change connector, through which the second robot arm 710 can replace different gripper cylinders or other actuators capable of holding safety rings, so that this application can be applied to the assembly work of different models of quick-connect connectors.
[0101] Understandably, the safety ring is placed at the opening of the housing 10 by the second robotic arm 710, and then at least partially pressed into the assembly cavity of the housing 10 by the press assembly 720.
[0102] For example, refer to Figure 9The pressing assembly 720 includes a crossbeam 721, support legs 722, a sliding frame 723, a lifting frame 724, and a third quick-connect coupling 725. The crossbeam 721 is positioned above and spans the conveyor line 200, which is set on a workbench. The crossbeam 721 is fixedly supported by the support legs 722, which are fixed to the workbench. The sliding frame 723 is slidably mounted on the crossbeam 721. The lifting frame 724 is slidably connected to the sliding frame 723 for raising and lowering. A cylinder with a guide rod assembly can be used to slidably connect the lifting frame 724 to the sliding frame 723. The third quick-connect coupling 725 is provided on the lifting frame 724 for connecting a pressing head.
[0103] The pressing head is configured to move with the sliding frame 723 relative to the crossbeam 721 to move directly above or away from the safety ring placed at the opening of the housing 10; the pressing head is also configured to descend with the lifting frame 724 relative to the sliding frame 723 to press against the upper end of the safety ring placed directly below at the opening of the housing 10 to press the safety ring into the housing 10, or to rise with the lifting frame 724 relative to the sliding frame (723) to leave the opening of the housing (10).
[0104] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 The fourth assembly module 700 also includes a lifting assembly 730, which is used to lift the jig 100 on the conveyor line 200 when the pressing assembly 720 presses the safety ring located at the opening of the housing 10.
[0105] Understandably, when the pressing assembly 720 presses the safety ring located at the opening of the housing 10, the lifting assembly 730 lifts the jig 100 on the conveyor line 200 to prevent the additional pressure generated by the pressing action of the pressing assembly 720 from being transmitted to the magnetic levitation track 210, thereby protecting the magnetic levitation track. It can also protect the connection between the magnetic levitation track 210 and the magnetic levitation vehicle 220.
[0106] It should be noted that the lifting component 730 can lift the jig 100 directly, or it can lift the magnetic levitation vehicle 220 to indirectly lift the jig 100, as long as the additional pressure caused by the pressing action of the pressing component 720 is avoided from being transmitted to the magnetic levitation track.
[0107] Alternatively, a lifting component 730 can be installed at each of the first detection modules 1000.
[0108] For example, refer to Figure 10The lifting assembly 730 includes a first base 731, a movable seat 732, a connecting frame 733, and a lifting fork 734. The conveyor line 200 is disposed on a workbench, and the first base 731 is located beside the conveyor line 200 and fixed to the workbench. The movable seat 732 includes a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. The horizontal portion of the movable seat 732 is slidably disposed on the first base 731, allowing the movable seat 732 to move in a horizontal direction, and allowing the vertical portion of the movable seat 732 to move closer to or further away from the conveyor line 200. The connecting frame 733 is slidably disposed on the vertical portion of the movable seat 732, allowing it to rise and fall on the vertical portion of the movable seat 732. The lifting fork 734 is fixed to the connecting frame 733. The lifting fork 734 is configured to move with the movable seat 732 toward the conveyor line 200 to fork below the lifted portion of the magnetic levitation carrier 220 or the fixture 100; and to rise with the connecting frame 733 on the vertical portion of the movable seat 732 to lift the magnetic levitation carrier 220 or the fixture 100 located on the magnetic levitation carrier 220.
[0109] Furthermore, a first connecting rod 735 and a second connecting rod 736 are provided between the planar portion of the movable seat 732 and the connecting frame 733. The first end of the first connecting rod 735 is hinged to the connecting frame 733 via a first hinge axis, and the first end of the second connecting rod 736 is hinged to the planar portion of the movable seat 732 via a second hinge axis. A drive cylinder is provided on the first base 731, and the first end of the drive cylinder is hinged to the first base 731 via a third hinge axis. The second end of the drive cylinder, the second end of the first connecting rod 735, and the second end of the second connecting rod 736 are hinged via a fourth hinge axis. The aforementioned first, second, third, and fourth hinge axes are parallel. A push rod facing the conveyor line is provided on the lower part of the vertical portion of the movable seat 732. After the movable seat 732 moves toward the conveyor line, the push rod can abut against the side of the conveyor line (e.g., the side of the magnetic levitation track 210) to limit the minimum distance between the movable seat 732 and the conveyor line 200. Understandably, when the drive cylinder extends, it first pushes the movable seat 732 until the top rod touches the conveyor line. Then, the first connecting rod 735 and the second connecting rod 736 swing relative to each other, causing the connecting frame 733 to rise. When the drive cylinder retracts, it causes the connecting frame 733 to descend first, and then moves the movable seat 732 away from the conveyor line 200. This structure allows the movement of the movable seat 732 and the raising and lowering of the connecting frame 733 to be driven by a single drive cylinder.
[0110] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11The fifth assembly module 800 includes a third robotic arm 810, a support member 820, and a pushing assembly 830. The support member 820 has a guide groove 821 for receiving a latch 11. The third robotic arm 810 is used to place the latch 11 in the guide groove 821. The pushing assembly 830 is configured to push the latch 11 in the guide groove 821 onto the housing 10 when the conveyor line 200 conveys the housing 10 to the guide groove 821, so that the latch 11 snaps into the housing 10.
[0111] For example, the third robotic arm 810 can hold the lock by using a gripper cylinder.
[0112] For example, the third robot 810 has a fourth quick-change connector, through which the third robot 810 replaces the gripper cylinder or other actuator head capable of holding the corresponding latch, so that this application can be applied to the assembly work of different models of quick-connect connectors.
[0113] Understandably, the cooperation of the third robotic arm 810, the support member 820 and the pushing component 830 facilitates the accurate connection of the latch 11 to the housing 10.
[0114] For example, refer to Figure 11 The pushing assembly 830 includes a sliding seat 831, a first cylinder 832, a second cylinder 833, and a pusher block 834. A second base 840 is disposed adjacent to the conveyor line, and a support member 820 is fixed to the sliding seat 831. The sliding seat 831 is slidably connected to the second base 840. The first cylinder 832 connects the second base 840 and the sliding seat 831 to drive the sliding seat 831 to move relative to the second base 840. The cylinder body of the second cylinder 833 is fixed to the sliding seat 831, and the working shaft of the second cylinder 833 is connected to the pusher block 834, which is slidably connected in the guide groove 821. The principle of the pushing assembly 830 pushing the latch 11 is as follows: first, the first cylinder 832 pushes the sliding seat 831 to bring the latch 11 closer to the housing 10; then, the second cylinder 833 pushes the latch 11 from the guide groove 821 onto the housing 10.
[0115] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the quick-connect fitting assembly system further includes a feeding module for supplying the housing 10 to the feeding module 300, the first sealing ring 21 to the first assembly module 400, the isolation ring 22 to the second assembly module 500, the second sealing ring 23 to the third assembly module 600, the safety ring to the fourth assembly module 700, and the latch to the fifth assembly module 800. This helps to improve the automation level of this application.
[0116] For example, the feeding module may adopt a distributed feeding scheme, that is, supplying the outer shell near the feeding module 300, supplying the first sealing ring near the first assembly module 400, supplying the isolation ring near the second assembly module 500, supplying the second sealing ring near the third assembly module 600, supplying the safety ring near the fourth assembly module 700, and supplying the latch near the fifth assembly module 800.
[0117] For example, the feeding module can also adopt a centralized feeding scheme. The fixture 100 is provided with positions for caulking the housing, the first sealing ring, the isolation ring, the second sealing ring, the safety ring, and the lock. At the beginning of the conveyor line 200, the feeding module uses a robot arm to place the housing, the first sealing ring, the isolation ring, the second sealing ring, the safety ring, and the lock onto the fixture 100 respectively.
[0118] It should be noted that the feeding module may use one or more of the existing technologies, such as a linear vibratory feeder, a circular vibratory feeder, a belt conveyor, a feeding hopper with guiding function, or a connecting component with guiding function for moving materials, for feeding.
[0119] In some implementations, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the quick-connect assembly system also includes a second detection module 1100, which includes a turntable 1110, a loading robot 1120, a detection component 1130, and an unloading robot 1140. The turntable 1110 is equipped with multiple placement fixtures 1111, each used to hold multiple quick-connect connectors. The turntable 1110 rotates relative to the loading robot 1120, the detection component 1130, and the unloading robot 1140 to adjust the position of the placement fixtures 1111. The loading robot 1120 is used to remove the quick-connect fittings from the conveyor line 200 and place them on the placement fixture 1111 when the placement fixture 1111 rotates to the loading robot 1120 position; the detection component 1130 is used to detect the airtightness of the sealing component 20 in the quick-connect fittings located on the placement fixture 1111 when the placement fixture 1111 rotates to the detection component 1130 position; the unloading robot 1140 is used to remove the quick-connect fittings placed on the placement fixture 1111 and classify them according to whether the airtightness is qualified when the placement fixture 1111 rotates to the unloading robot 1140 position.
[0120] For example, the second detection module 1100 includes a second industrial control component, which is configured to acquire and store the detection results of the second detection module 1100. The detection results include the distribution position information of quick-connect fittings that pass the airtightness test and quick-connect fittings that fail the airtightness test on the placement fixture 1111. The unloading robot 1140 is connected to the second industrial control component to acquire the aforementioned distribution position information, and the unloading robot 1140 classifies the quick-connect fittings on the placement fixture 1111 according to the distribution position information.
[0121] It should be noted that the airtightness test of the sealing component 20 in the quick connector requires a certain amount of testing time. By setting up a turntable 1110, a loading robot 1120, a testing component 1130, and an unloading robot 1140, the quick connector is removed from the conveyor line 200 and placed on the placement fixture 1111 on the turntable 1110 for testing. This can reduce the impact of the conveying speed of the conveyor line 200 and, to a certain extent, ensure the flow speed of the fixture 100 on the conveyor line 200, so as to ensure assembly efficiency.
[0122] For example, refer to Figure 14 The lower end of the quick-connect fitting housing 10 is pressed against the end pad 1111a to seal the lower end of the housing 10. Then, an inflation rod 1132 is inserted into the quick-connect fitting. This inflation rod 1132 has two air passages: a first air passage 1132a and a second air passage 1132b. Inflation is performed through the first air passage 1132a to the area below the first sealing ring 21, and through the second air passage 1132b to the area between the first sealing ring 21 and the second sealing ring 23. The sealing performance of the sealing assembly 20 is then tested by detecting the pressure loss in the first air passage 1132a and the second air passage 1132b over a certain period of time. This testing process requires a certain amount of time to complete.
[0123] For example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14The detection component 1130 includes a second support frame 1131, an inflatable rod 1132, and an inflatable rod holder 1133. A conveyor line 200 is mounted on a workbench. The second support frame 1131 has a first connecting portion 1131a and a slide rail 1131b. The first connecting portion 1131a is supported and fixed to the workbench by a column. The inflatable rod holder 1133 has a fourth slider 1133a that cooperates with the slide rail 1131b. The inflatable rod holder 1133 is slidably connected to the slide rail 1131b through the cooperation of the fourth slider 1133a and the slide rail 1131b. Multiple inflatable rods 1132 are provided on the inflatable rod holder 1133. A driving component is provided between the second support frame 1131 and the inflatable rod holder 1133 for driving the inflatable rod holder 1133 to rise and fall. This driving component drives the inflatable rod holder 1133 to rise and fall, thereby causing the inflatable rods 1132 to insert or pull out of the quick-connect plug.
[0124] It should be noted that the movement, sliding, lifting, and rotation involved in this application are all equipped with corresponding driving components to provide power. The driving components driving the movement, sliding, lifting, or rotation are prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.
