| description | This article proposes a design method for a valve automatic assembly production line in response to the automation assembly requirements of electric valve products in space propulsion systems and the engineering problems of inaccurate loading force control and low valve measurement accuracy in existing process methods. This method can achieve five assembly processes during the assembly process of electric valves, including pre-tightening force control, valve-core stroke measurement, performance testing, and shell structure welding. The article introduces the design of platform components such as process execution, positioning, and transportation, as well as the design and operation process of workstations. By combining the design of a three-axis motion mechanism, a small turntable, and a robotic arm, the product can achieve professional, positioning, full process automation, and equipment miniaturization design across multiple workstations. Through the design of precise control of loading force and non-contact optical measurement method of moving structure, compared with the original method, the parameters affecting product performance are precisely controlled and the precision is improved. And the multivariable decoupling of valve product performance is realized by this method. Through application verification, this automatic assembly production line can significantly improve the assembly efficiency of electric valve products and solve difficult problems in product engineering. |
