Revolutionizing Bathroom Button Assembly: Ruizhi Intelligence’s Flush Button Assembly Machine Leads the New Paradigm of Precision Production

In the context of the global bathroom industry’s accelerated intelligent upgrading, toilet flush buttons, as core interactive components for high-frequency use, their assembly precision directly affects product durability and user experience. Recently, Ruizhi Intelligence launched a new generation of Flush Button Assembly Machine, which overcomes the assembly challenges of multi-type products such as traditional toilet buttons, smart toilet touch panels, and concealed flush buttons with millimeter-level precision and flexible production capabilities, pushing bathroom manufacturing into a new era of “high-efficiency, waterproof, and intelligent” production.

Core Technological Breakthroughs: Deep Integration of Precision Control and Intelligent Inspection

Four-Axis Linkage Precision Assembly System

The equipment is equipped with a high-precision four-axis robotic arm and servo electric cylinder, constructing a closed-loop control system of “positioning-tightening-inspection”:

• Control adaptiv dinamic al cuplului: For different components such as flush button cartridges (requiring 3-5N·m torque) and seals (1-2N·m), the system can automatically switch between 8 tightening modes, with torque control accuracy reaching ±0.03N·m. After application by a leading bathroom enterprise, the button water leakage rate dropped from 2.5% to 0.08%, and assembly efficiency increased by 2.3 times.
• Tehnologie flexibilă de presare: In the assembly of button panels and bases, the robotic arm presses with a constant force of 0.3N, combined with a visual positioning system to achieve 0.1mm-level gap control, reducing panel deformation rate by 75% compared with traditional rigid assembly.

3D Visual Inspection and Waterproof Performance Screening

The equipment integrates 5K industrial cameras and laser leak detectors to achieve full-size inspection and waterproof performance verification:

• Recunoașterea defectelor la nivel de micronPrin generarea de modele 3D ale componentelor prin scanare structurată cu lumină, acesta poate identifica bavuri, deformări și alte defecte de până la 0,2 mm. Înainte de asamblarea garniturilor de cauciuc, sistemul respinge automat componentele cu dimensiuni în afara toleranței, reducând ratele de defecțiune ulterioare cauzate de scurgerile de apă de la 2,8% la 0,3%.
• Algoritmul de optimizare a traseului prin inteligență artificială: Automatically generating spiral assembly trajectories based on button structures, for touch panel components of smart toilets, the path planning efficiency is 12 times higher than manual programming, shortening the assembly time per component from 45 seconds to 18 seconds.

Sistem modular de schimbare rapidă

The equipment adopts a quick-plug tooling module design, supporting rapid switching of different specifications of flush buttons:

• 10-Minute Ultra-Fast Changeover: Dedicated modules are equipped for three types of products: traditional toilet buttons, smart touch panels, and concealed buttons:

• Traditional button module: Integrated with multi-axis tightening mechanism and pressing life testing device;
• Smart panel module: Equipped with circuit conduction detection and touch sensitivity calibration unit;
• Concealed button module: Built-in automatic waterproof glue coating system.
  Through electromagnetic locking devices, module replacement time is compressed to 10 minutes, increasing changeover efficiency by 80% compared with traditional methods.
  • Introducerea inteligentă a parametrilor de procesÎn timpul schimbării, sistemul MES preia automat tabelul BOM al produsului corespunzător, iar algoritmul AI optimizează parametrii de asamblare pe baza datelor istorice, evitând pierderile de eficiență cauzate de depanarea manuală.

Scenarii de aplicare în practică: Îmbunătățirea dublă a eficienței și calității

Case 1: Fully Automatic Assembly of Smart Toilet Touch Panels

In the production line of a high-end bathroom brand, the comparison between traditional processes and automated equipment is as follows:

Especially in the alignment of touch panels and bases, the equipment monitors pressure distribution at 6 points in real-time and adjusts the press-fitting speed (0.5-2mm/s), controlling the distance between the touch sensing layer and the circuit board within 0.05mm, which increases precision by 4 times compared with manual assembly, ensuring touch response sensitivity.

Case 2: Precision Assembly of Concealed Flush Buttons

Aiming at the concealed flush buttons of high-end bathrooms, the equipment demonstrates unique advantages:

• Puncte dificile ale proceselor tradiționale: The embedded structure of buttons and walls is complex, requiring special tools for manual assembly, taking 10 minutes per set, and uneven waterproof glue application results in a water leakage rate of 5%.
• Soluție automată: Through a dual-vision system (top-view + side-view cameras), it real-time monitors assembly deviations, and the robotic arm completes interface docking with 0.03mm-level precision. Combined with a peristaltic pump automatic glue coating device, the assembly time per set is shortened to 3 minutes, and the water leakage rate is reduced to below 0.1%. After application by a bathroom enterprise, the yield rate of concealed buttons increased from 85% to 99.6%, saving over 1.8 million yuan in annual quality costs.

Industry Impact: Opening the Intelligent Transformation of Bathroom Manufacturing

Odată cu creșterea cererii de produse inteligente și de înaltă calitate pe piața globală a băilor, capacitățile de asamblare de precizie au devenit competitivitatea principală a întreprinderilor. Directorul de cercetare și dezvoltare al Ruizhi Intelligence a subliniat că echipamentul acceptă conectarea la sistemul digital twin din fabrică prin protocolul OPC UA, care poate încărca datele de asamblare în cloud în timp real, realizând trasabilitatea completă a procesului, de la componente la produsele finite.

At present, the equipment has been implemented in leading enterprises such as Kohler and TOTO, averagely reducing 10 workers per production line and decreasing workshop floor area by 35%. Industry reports show that the flush button assembly machine market will grow at an average annual rate of 27% in the next 3 years. Equipment with AI vision and modular design will become the mainstream, promoting the thorough transformation of bathroom manufacturing from “manual assembly” to “intelligent manufacturing”.

Extindere tehnicăTehnologia de conectare multiaxială a echipamentului a obținut un brevet național de invenție (nr. brevet: ZL2024XXXXXX), iar sistemul de vedere 3D a trecut certificarea de siguranță ISO 13849 PLd. Ruizhi Intelligence va demonstra procesul de asamblare de mare viteză a supapelor inteligente de spălare a toaletei la Expoziția Internațională de Bucătărie și Baie de la Shanghai (KBC) în octombrie 2025, unde vizitatorii pot observa îndeaproape detaliile tehnice ale asamblării de precizie cu o precizie de 0,1 mm.
