Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to an automobile exhaust pipe valve opening and closing force testing and spring torque detection device. Background Art

[0002] The automobile exhaust pipe is a part of the engine exhaust system. The exhaust system mainly includes the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, exhaust pipe valve and muffler. Generally, the three-stage catalytic converter for controlling engine pollutant emissions is also installed in the exhaust system. The exhaust pipe valve is an indispensable auxiliary component in the exhaust pipe system. It is widely used in the highest point or elbow or airtight place on the pipeline to discharge the gas in the pipe to clear the pipeline. It can effectively achieve the pressure in the valve exhaust pipe to always maintain within the range of technical requirements, so as to achieve the purpose of normal exhaust work; it is beneficial to improve the engine working efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, environmental pollution and noise, and play a role in energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0003] The prior art automobile exhaust pipe valve, such as the patent application with publication number CN207829979U and titled "Exhaust pipe valve structure", has a structure including a mounting seat installed at the air inlet or outlet of the exhaust cold end silencer of the automobile exhaust pipe, the mounting seat is provided with an opening, and a valve core capable of closing or opening the opening is rotatably connected to the mounting seat, and a spring capable of automatically resetting the valve core is provided on the rotating shaft of the valve core. When the engine is running at a low speed, the valve is in a closed state as a whole, and the exhaust gas is discharged from the orifice tube or the drain pipe. At this time, the pressure is low, and the valve core of the valve is in a closed pressure-maintaining state under the elastic force of the spring; when the engine is running at a high speed, the pressure on one side of the valve core increases, so that the valve core overcomes the elastic force of the spring and opens, and the exhaust gas is discharged from the valve and the orifice tube or the drain pipe. At this time, the pressure is relatively high, and the valve plays a pressure relief role; the valve can keep the pressure in the exhaust pipe in one state; when the exhaust pressure decreases, the elastic force of the torsion spring drives the valve core to rotate to close the valve. Therefore, the setting of the spring plays a vital role in whether the valve can work normally. If the torque of the spring is set too small, the valve core will be easily opened, causing the pressure in the exhaust pipe of the car to be lower than the set pressure value, and the car will make a lot of noise when driving at a low speed; if the torque of the spring is set too large, the valve core will be difficult to open, causing the pressure in the exhaust pipe of the car to be much higher than the set pressure value, and the exhaust pipe will not be smooth, which will affect the service life and working efficiency of the engine.

[0004] The automobile exhaust pipe valve spring needs to be tested for torque during assembly and the opening and closing force of the valve core needs to be tested after the spring is assembled to ensure that the assembled spring meets the requirements of the valve opening and closing force. At present, a fully automatic torsion spring tester is generally used to detect the relationship between the rotation angle and torque during spring assembly, so that when the spring is assembled on the valve, the test result value is used to determine the required assembly angle. Although this method is feasible, due to the difference in the rigidity of each spring, there is also an assembly error when the spring is assembled, so the force value of the valve assembly cannot be guaranteed, and the overall process is more, the efficiency is low, and the qualified rate of the finished valve is low. The opening and closing force test of the valve core is manually tested with a pressure sensor. When a valve that does not meet the requirements is tested, the valve can only be sealed as a defective product, and the opening and closing force test result of the valve core cannot be fed back to the torque detection and assembly station of the spring in real time, resulting in the inability to correct the torque of the spring in time, thereby making the qualified rate of the finished valve low, and the opening and closing force error of the valve manually tested is large.

[0027] After adopting the above structure, the automobile exhaust pipe valve opening and closing force testing and spring torque detection device of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: when the spring torque detection tool of the automobile exhaust pipe valve opening and closing force testing and spring torque detection device is used, the valve assembly to be detected is first placed in the positioning groove of the positioning seat at the bottom of the second frame, and then the fixing cylinder of the second fixing mechanism drives the locking rod to rotate, so that the locking rod presses the valve assembly to be detected, at this time, the upper end of the fixing column with the spring installed on the valve assembly passes through the bayonet of the spring cover fixing seat, and the staff pre-assembles the spring cover on the upper end of the fixing column in the working space above the bayonet, and makes the spring cover and The clamping foot at the upper end of the spring is engaged; then the pressure block of the clamping mechanism presses the spring cover and the spring downward; the second drive motor runs, driving the spring cover fixing seat and the clamping mechanism to rotate, so that the spring cover and the clamping foot at the upper end of the spring rotate together, and the torque sensor detects the torque applied by the spring to the rotating shaft of the second drive motor in real time, and transmits the torque change signal to the control box, which controls the second drive motor to run or stop running; when the control box detects that the torque of the spring is within the set range, it controls the second drive motor to stop running. At this time, the staff uses a welding gun to weld the spring cover to the upper end of the fixing column, thereby completing the automatic detection and assembly of the torque of the automobile exhaust valve spring. The pressure test tooling of the automobile exhaust valve opening and closing force test and spring torque detection device drives the linear drive mechanism to move through the first drive motor, so that the pressure rod of the pressure sensor can drive the valve core to open different angles. The pressure sensor transmits the force value of the valve core when it opens at different angles to the control box, and the control box determines whether the valve core opening and closing force meets the requirements. If the valve core opening and closing force does not meet the technical requirements, the control box will issue an alarm and feed back the force value of the valve core opening and closing force to the spring torque detection tooling. The control box can control the second drive motor to move, adjust the rotation angle of the spring cover fixing seat, and correct the size of the spring torque to avoid the appearance of unsatisfactory valve assemblies. Therefore, the automobile exhaust pipe valve opening and closing force test and spring torque detection device can not only detect the torque of the spring during the spring assembly process, and adjust the torque of the spring to a predetermined range, and then complete the assembly of the spring, so that the force value of the valve assembly opening is guaranteed, the qualified rate of the valve finished product is improved, and the assembly efficiency is greatly improved; and the opening and closing force of the valve core can be tested according to the pressure test tool, and the test data can be fed back to the spring torque detection tool in real time to adjust the size of the spring torque in real time, that is, when it is detected that the opening and closing force of the valve core does not meet the technical requirements, the control box can control the second drive motor to move, adjust the rotation angle of the spring cover fixing seat, and correct the size of the spring torque. Secondly, the structural setting of the linear drive mechanism of the pressure test tool makes the telescopic movement of the pressure rod more stable, makes the opening and closing force test of the valve core more accurate, and can transmit the force value of the valve core opening and closing at different angles to the control box in real time, so that the control box can accurately judge the size of the valve core opening and closing force.Furthermore, the setting of the limiting steps on both sides of the upper end of the bayonet can not only prevent the spring from being crushed or deformed, but also play a limiting role in the installation position of the spring cover, and can also ensure the synchronous rotation of the spring cover and the spring cover fixing seat, so that the torsion detection of the spring is more accurate; in addition, the setting of the notch of the crimping part on the pressure block and the pressing inclined surface or arc surface at the bottom of the notch makes the spring cover more firmly pressed, avoids displacement or offset during the rotation of the spring cover, and ensures the qualified rate of the finished product of the product. Furthermore, the matching setting of the first inclined surface on the spring cover fixing seat and the second inclined surface on the outer wall of the pressure block makes the pressure block move downward to the second inclined surface and the first inclined surface fit together, and there is a gap between the bottom of the crimping part and the upper end of the bayonet of the spring cover fixing seat. At this time, the crimping part presses the spring cover at the upper end of the fixing column, that is, the setting of the gap, further ensures that the spring is not crushed or deformed during the pressing process of the pressure block, and makes the spring cover pressed more stably.

When the piston rod of the fixed cylinder 503 pushes the locking rod 502 outward to rotate, the second end of the locking rod 502 can press the valve assembly 7 to be detected placed in the positioning groove 504.

When the automobile exhaust pipe valve spring torque automatic detection and assembly device is used, the valve assembly 7 to be detected is first placed in the positioning groove 504 of the positioning seat 500 at the bottom of the second frame 1, and then the fixing cylinder 503 of the second fixing mechanism 5 drives the locking rod 502 to rotate, so that the locking rod 502 presses the valve assembly 7 to be detected. At this time, the upper end of the fixing column on which the spring 700 is installed on the valve assembly 7 passes through the bayonet 300 of the spring cover fixing seat 3, and the staff pre-assembles the spring cover 701 on the upper end of the fixing column in the working space 303 above the bayonet 300, and the spring cover 701 is engaged with the clamping foot at the upper end of the spring 700; then the pressing block 40 of the clamping mechanism 0 presses the spring cover 701 and the spring 700 downward; the control box controls the second drive motor 2 to operate, drives the spring cover fixing seat 3 and the pressing mechanism to rotate, so that the spring cover 701 drives the clamping foot at the upper end of the spring 700 to rotate together, and the torque sensor 6 detects the torque applied by the spring on the second drive motor shaft in real time, and transmits the torque change signal to the control box, and the control box controls the second drive motor to operate or stop; when the control box detects that the torque of the spring is within the set range, the second drive motor is controlled to stop operating.

[0041] See again Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pressure testing tool 9 includes a first frame 900, to which a first drive motor 901 and a linear drive mechanism are connected, and the first drive motor 901 is transmission-connected with the linear drive mechanism to drive the linear drive mechanism to extend and retract; a first fixing mechanism 12 is arranged on a bottom plate 906 at the bottom of the first frame 900, and is used to fix the valve assembly 9 to be tested; a pressure sensor 11 has a pressure rod 1100 arranged downwardly and with the lower end thereof abutting against the valve core 702 of the valve assembly 7 to be tested, and the pressure sensor 11 is connected to the linear drive mechanism and extends and retracts synchronously with the linear drive mechanism. The pressure sensor 11 can sense the force value when the valve core 702 opens at different angles; the control box 10 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 11, the torque sensor 6 and the second drive motor 2, and is used to collect the force value when the pressure sensor 11 senses the valve core 702 opens at different angles, and test the opening and closing force of the valve core 702. When the opening and closing force of the valve core 702 does not meet the technical requirements, the control box 10 can control the second drive motor 2 to operate, adjust the rotation angle of the spring cover fixing seat 3, and correct the size of the spring torque.

[0042] The pressure testing tooling 9 drives the linear driving mechanism to move through the first driving motor 901, so that the pressure rod 1100 of the pressure sensor 11 can drive the valve core 702 to open different angles, that is, the first driving motor 901 drives the sliding seat 903 to move in the length direction of the lead screw 905, so that the pressure rod 1100 moves downward at intervals of five positions, each position point corresponds to a valve core opening force value, and the pressure sensor 11 transmits the force value of the sensing valve core when it opens at different angles to the control box 10.
