Technical Field

The invention relates to automatic assembling equipment for a joint pipe, in particular to automatic assembling equipment for the joint pipe.

Background

With the increasing living standard of people, vehicles are gradually popularized in many families. The manufacturing process of the vehicle needs to use more parts, wherein the joint pipe is one of the parts. The joint pipe is required to have low expansion, burst resistance, high temperature resistance, ozone resistance, and low moisture permeation.

The structural tube body comprises a hollow tube body A, a sleeve B and a lining core C. When assembling the joint pipe, the conventional assembling apparatus first assembles the sleeve and the core, and then assembles the pipe body and the sleeve. However, this assembly does not guarantee the coaxiality between the tubular body and the core. And the coaxiality between the pipe body and the lining core has great influence on the performances of low expansion, burst resistance, high temperature resistance, ozone resistance, low moisture permeation and the like of the joint pipe.

On the other hand, after the joint pipe is assembled, the lining core is usually required to be further bent by a predetermined angle to be suitable for subsequent assembly. Before kinking, however, it is generally assumed that the liner is disposed coaxially with the tube. Because the lining core and the pipe body in the joint pipe formed by adopting the assembly mode in the prior art can not ensure the coaxiality, the lining core after bending and the needed bending angle have larger deviation in the subsequent bending process, and the yield of the joint pipe is influenced.

Detailed Description

The preferred embodiments in the following description are given by way of example only, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention, as defined in the following description, may be applied to other embodiments, variations, modifications, equivalents, and other technical solutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that in the present disclosure, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," and the like are used in an orientation or positional relationship indicated in the drawings for ease of description and simplicity of description, and do not indicate or imply that the referenced devices or components must be constructed and operated in a particular orientation and thus are not to be considered limiting.

An automatic assembling apparatus for a coupling tube according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of fig. 1 to 9. The automatic assembling equipment for the joint pipe comprises at least one press-fitting device 10, wherein the press-fitting device 10 comprises a device body 11. The device body 11 is formed with a sleeve mounting groove 101 and a tube mounting groove 102 for mounting a sleeve and a tube for manufacturing the joint tube, respectively, at the time of press-fitting. The sleeve mounting groove 101 and the pipe body mounting groove 102 are coaxially disposed. The sleeve mounting groove 101 has a sectional diameter greater than that of the pipe body mounting groove 102 to form a step 103 between the sleeve mounting groove 101 and the pipe body mounting groove 102.

The press-fitting apparatus 10 includes a pressing assembly 12. Pressure application assembly 12 has a pressure application end 1201, wherein pressure application end 1201 is configured to extend axially into casing mounting groove 101. The pressing end 1201 is provided to be able to grip a core member for manufacturing the joint pipe and to press the core member from the axial direction toward the inside of the pipe body fitted in the pipe body fitting groove 102 through the bottom wall of the sleeve fitting groove 101. In this way, the core can be integrally joined with the sleeve and the tubular body.

It can be understood that, since the joint pipe supported in the above manner is formed by one-step molding, and press-fitting is performed in the axial direction during molding, the liner core of the joint pipe and the pipe body can be formed in axial conformity. In addition, the joint pipe is manufactured in a one-step forming mode, so that the manufacturing processes of the joint pipe are reduced, and the manufacturing efficiency of the joint pipe is improved.

Preferably, the device body 11 has a lower stopper 111 and an upper stopper 112. The lower stopper 111 forms the sleeve mounting groove 101 and the pipe body mounting groove 102. The upper limiting block 112 is correspondingly formed with a sleeve covering groove 11201 and a tube covering groove 11202. The upper stopper 112 is covered on the lower stopper 111 to form a socket receiving space between the socket covering groove 11201 and the socket mounting groove 101 and a socket receiving space between the socket covering groove 11202 and the socket mounting groove 102. In addition, after the upper limit block 112 is covered on the lower limit block 111, a pressing port 11203 is formed at one end of the sleeve covering groove 11201 for inserting the pressing end 1201 of the pressing assembly 12. The upper limiting block 112 and the lower limiting block 111 form a communication window 1101 on the side surface thereof, so as to facilitate the user to take out the joint pipe from the press-fitting device 10 after assembling the joint pipe.

The automatic assembling equipment for the joint pipe also comprises a limiting device 20, wherein the limiting device 20 comprises a pressing block 21 and a driving part 22.

The device body 11 and the pressing assembly 12 are provided to the apparatus body 30.

Preferably, the upper limit block 112 is fixed to the clamp block 21 to move up and down with the clamp block 21, so that the upper limit block 112 and the lower limit block 111 are switched between an open state and a clamped state with the up and down movement of the clamp block 21.

The stopper 20 is supported at a predetermined height of the apparatus body 30 and held right above the upper stopper 112. Before the pressing assembly 12 applies pressure, the driving part 22 of the limiting device 20 is activated to drive the pressing block 21 to move towards the upper limiting block 112 from top to bottom, so as to press the upper limiting block 112 corresponding to the lower limiting block 111, so that when the pressing end 1201 of the pressing assembly 12 extends to the pressing port 11203 to press the lining core into the pipe body, the lower limiting block 111 and the upper limiting block 112 do not shake in the vertical direction, and therefore the axial consistency of the lining core and the pipe body is ensured in the process that the lining core is pressed into the pipe body.

Preferably, the automatic assembling apparatus of the joint pipe includes a core supplier 40. The core supply device 40 is provided to the apparatus main body 30. The core supply device 40 includes a take-out mechanism 41 and a feed mechanism 42.

When the material taking arm 411 is at the material taking station, the end part of the material taking arm 411 can suck the lining core from the axial direction. Subsequently, the take-out arm 411 is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 412. The pressing assembly 12 includes a pressing arm 121, wherein the pressing arm 121 forms the pressing end 1201. The pressure applicator assembly 12 includes a drive unit 122. The pressing arm 121 is rotatably connected to the driving unit 122. When the pressing arm 121 is driven to rotate, the pressing end 1201 is axially aligned with the core at the end of the pick-up arm 411 driven to rotate by the rotating motor 412.

The feeding mechanism 42 of the liner core supplying device 40 includes a mounting seat 421 and a driving member 422. The pick arm 411 is rotatably mounted to the mounting seat 421 by the rotating motor 412. The mount 421 may be translationally driveably connected to the drive member 422.

When the pressing arm 121 is driven by the driving unit 122 and the pressing end 1201 is aligned with the lining core sucked by the pick-up arm 411, the driving member 422 drives the mounting seat 421 to drive the mounting seat 421 to translate along the axial direction of the lining core, so that the lining core is inserted into a socket formed by the pressing end 1201. The pick arm 411 then releases the core so that it retains the pressure application end 1201 of the pressure application assembly 12.

After the core is clamped to the pressure application end 1201, the sleeve can be sleeved to the pressure application end 1201 so that the core and the sleeve are axially counter-rotated. Subsequently, the pressing arm 121 is driven by the driving unit 122 to rotate to be aligned with the pressing port 11203 of the upper stopper 112. Subsequently, the pressing arm 121 is driven to move axially along the core toward the sleeve covering groove 11201 and the tube covering groove 11202, so that the core is press-fitted into the tube located in the tube covering groove 11202 while passing through the bottom wall of the sleeve located in the sleeve covering groove 11201. In this way, the automatic assembly equipment of the joint pipe can automatically manufacture the joint pipe.

Further, the core supplying device 40 further includes an automatic feed tray 43, wherein the automatic feed tray 43 forms a core accommodating space 431 and a feed passage 432. The pick arm 411 of the pick mechanism 41 is configured to pick the core liner from the feed channel 432. The automatic feed tray 43 is provided to automatically feed the core of the core accommodating space 431 into the feed passage 432. The feed channel 432 is configured to automatically adjust the orientation of the liner cores so that the liner cores can be automatically adjusted to hang in a vertical direction after being fed into the feed channel 432. The pick arm 411 can automatically clamp the core in the feeding passage 432 and then be driven to rotate by the rotating motor 412, so that the axial direction of the core is adjusted to the horizontal direction to be aligned with the pressing end 1201 of the pressing arm 121 whose direction is adjusted.

Further, the automatic assembling apparatus of the joint pipe further includes a material body supply device 50, wherein the material body supply device 50 is provided to the apparatus body 30 for automatically supplying the socket.

The cannula feed tray 52 is configured to automatically feed the cannula within the cannula receiving space 5201 into the cannula supply passage 5202. It is worth mentioning that the body feeder 50 delivers the cannulas to the cannula feed passage 5202 in a manner that adjusts the cannulas to be vertically aligned.

The robotic arm 51 has a cannula holding end 511, wherein the robotic arm 51 is configured as a multi-degree-of-freedom rotary robot. The ferrule holding end 511 of the robot arm 51 is provided to be able to automatically carry the ferrules in the ferrule supply passage 5202 to the ferrule mounting slot 101 of the apparatus main body 11.

Preferably, the robotic arm 51 further has a tube gripping end 512. The tube clamping end 512 is provided to automatically clamp the tube, and the robot arm 51 is controlled to transfer the tube to the tube mounting groove 102.

The sliding plate 64 forms three snap-in interfaces 6401. Correspondingly, a clamping protrusion 11101 is formed at the bottom of each lower limiting block 111. The slide plate 64 is slidable from the side of the upper rail to the upper rail 61 in a direction perpendicular to the upper rail 61 so as to be driven by the second power unit 63. When the sliding plate 64 is slid by the second power unit 63 from the side of the upper slide rail to the upper slide rail 61 in the direction perpendicular to the upper slide rail 61, the three catch interfaces 6401 on the sliding plate 64 can be caught by the catch protrusions 11101 of the lower stopper 111 at the first, second, and third stations. Subsequently, the sliding plate 64 is driven by the first power unit 62 to slide along the extending direction of the upper slide rail 61, so that the lower limiting block 111 of the first station can be moved to the second station, and the lower limiting block 111 of the second station can be moved to the third station.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the sliding plate 64 may be provided with the catching protrusion 11101 in a horizontal direction. The bottom of the lower stopper 111 may be formed with the catching interface 6401 capable of receiving the catching protrusion 11101, which is an obvious modification that can be conceived by those skilled in the art, and the present invention is not limited in this respect.

The apparatus for automatically assembling the joint pipe further includes a circulation feed mechanism 70. The circular feeding mechanism 70 includes a lower slide rail 71, a sinking member 72, a lifting member 73, and a sliding member 74. The apparatus body 30 forms a first lifting port 301 and a second lifting port 302 at the third station and the first station with the lower limiting block 111, respectively. The upper slide rail 61 is provided to extend to the apparatus main body 30 between the first lifting port 301 and the second lifting port 302.

The lower slide rails 71 are correspondingly disposed vertically below the upper slide rails 61, and the lower slide rails 71 are disposed in parallel with the upper slide rails 61.

The lower slide rail 71 forms a first end 711 vertically below the first elevation port 301. The lower slide rail 71 forms a second end 712 vertically below the second lifting port 302. The sinking member 72 is disposed on the device body 10 at the first lifting port 301, so as to sink the lower limiting block 111 at the first lifting port 301 to a position flush with the lower slide rail 71 from top to bottom, and then slide the lower limiting block 111 along the lower slide rail 71 from the first end 711 to the second end 712 via the sliding member 74. Accordingly, the sinking member 72 is further raised back to the first elevation port 301 to wait for the next sinking motion.

After the lower limit block 111 is transmitted to the second end 712 by the sliding component 74, the lifting component 73 lifts the lower limit block 111 to the second lifting port 302. Accordingly, the sliding component 74 further drives the lower limiting block 111 to slide to the upper slide rail 61 to be in the first working position.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, the sinking member 72 includes a first bearing block 721 and a first telescopic cylinder 722. The first bearing block 721 forms a first notch 72101. The first bearing block 721 is installed at an end of the first telescopic cylinder 722 to slide up and down as the first telescopic cylinder 722 extends and contracts up and down. The first telescopic cylinder 722 is provided to be vertically telescopic in the apparatus main body 30.

The sinking member 72 includes a first locating pin 723. The first positioning pin 723 is disposed at the bottom of the first bearing block 721 and passes through the first notch 72101. After the first bearing block 721 is driven to be lifted by the first telescopic cylinder 722, the first positioning pin 723 can be positioned at the lower limiting block 111 of the third station. Subsequently, the first telescopic cylinder retracts, and the lower limit block 111 at the third station sinks together with the first positioning pin 723 to be aligned with the first end 711 of the lower slide rail 71.

The slide member 74 includes a slide pin 741 and a driving motor 742. The slide pin 741 is slidably provided to the lower slide rail 71. When the lower limit block 111 lowered by the lowering member 72 is lowered to be aligned with the first end 711, the slide pin 741 positions the lower limit block 111. Subsequently, the lower limit block 111 is moved from the first end 711 to the second end 712 by being driven by the driving motor 742. After the lower limit block 111 moves to the second end 712, the lifting member 73 can lift the lower limit block 111 upward, so that the lower limit block 111 floats out of the second lifting port 302.

The lifting member 73 also includes a second bearing block 731, a second telescopic cylinder 732, and a second positioning pin 733. The second bearing block 731 has a second notch 73101, and the second positioning pin 733 is disposed at the bottom of the second bearing block 731 and passes through the second notch 73101. The second loading plate 731 is coupled to the second telescopic cylinder 732 in a liftable manner. The second telescopic cylinder 732 is provided to be vertically telescopic in the apparatus main body 30.

After the lower limiting block 111 slides to the second end 712, the second positioning pin 733 positions the lower limiting block 111. Subsequently, the second telescopic cylinder 732 drives the second bearing block 731 to lift upwards, so that the lower limiting block 111 is lifted to be flush with the upper slide rail 61 to be in the first working position.
