Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of production equipment, and particularly relates to a hose loading and alignment device and a hose production and processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the existing hose production and processing equipment, when processing hoses, there are requirements for the placement of some hoses, such as the injection shoulders or encapsulation of hoses. In the existing hose production and processing equipment, its loading device is relatively simple. When the loading device loads the hose onto the mold of the conveying device, the placement of the hose is inconsistent. Generally, an alignment adjustment device is provided to adjust the placement of the hose. After the loading device loads the hose onto the mold of the conveyor belt or the conveying tray, the conveyor belt or the conveying tray conveys the hose on the mold to the alignment adjustment device. The alignment adjustment device drives the adjustment wheel abutted against the outer surface of the hose to rotate, drives the hose to rotate and align, and detects the color mark on the hose through the detection device to adjust and determine the placement of the hose. However, such a design requires an additional station to be set on the conveyor belt or the conveying tray according to the alignment adjustment device, resulting in a longer conveying route of the hose, increasing the volume of the equipment, and also resulting in a lower production efficiency of the hose, which is not convenient for the production and application of the hose.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a hose feeding and alignment device, which includes a frame 100 and a feeding mechanism 200, a pushing mechanism 300, and a detection component 400 connected to the frame 100. A transfer station 101 is provided on the frame 100. The feeding mechanism 200 can grab the hose 1 and can transport the hose 1 to the transfer station 101. The pushing mechanism 300 can drive the hose 1 at the transfer station 101 to rotate and can transport the hose 1 to the mold 2. The detection component 400 is electrically connected to the pushing mechanism 300 and can detect the color mark of the hose 1 on the pushing mechanism 300.

[0040] It can be understood that as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, during use, the hose loading and alignment device is arranged in the hose 1 production and processing equipment. The loading mechanism 200 grabs the hose 1 obtained from the previous processing step and transports it to the transfer station 101. The pushing mechanism 300 drives the hose 1 at the transfer station 101 to rotate and detects the color mark of the hose 1 through the detection component 400. After detecting the color mark of the hose 1, the pushing mechanism 300 stops rotating the hose 1 according to the detection situation of the detection component 400, completing the alignment adjustment of the hose 1. Subsequently, the pushing mechanism 300 transports the hose 1 with the alignment adjusted to the mold 2 of the conveying device, so that the hose 1 loaded onto the mold 2 can meet the placement requirements of subsequent production, avoiding the trouble of additionally setting an alignment adjustment device on the conveying device, helping to shorten the conveying stroke of the conveying device, reducing the volume of the hose 1 production and processing equipment, and at the same time helping to improve the production efficiency of the hose 1 and being convenient for use.

[0041] In actual application, the specific structures of the loading mechanism 200 and the pushing mechanism 300 can be set responsively according to actual usage needs and will not be described in detail here. Specific descriptions will be given below; the detection component 400 can detect the color mark of the hose 1 through a color mark sensor or through image recognition. Since the composition and principle of the detection component 400 in the embodiments of the present invention are known to those of ordinary skill in the art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 300 includes a first driving component 310 and a push rod component 320 that is drivingly connected to the first driving component 310. The first driving component 310 can drive the push rod component 320 to move. The lower part of the push rod component 320 can extend into the hose 1 located at the transfer station 101. The first driving component 310 can drive the push rod component 320 to rotate. The lower part of the push rod component 320 can expand to be able to abut against the inner wall of the hose 1 and drive the hose 1 to rotate. The lower part of the push rod component 320 can contract to be able to separate from the hose 1.

[0043] It can be understood that, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the first driving assembly 310 includes a first driver 311, a second driver 312 and a moving seat 313. The moving seat 313 is slidably connected to the frame 100. The first driver 311 is drivingly connected to the moving seat 313 and can drive the moving seat 313 to move up and down. The push rod assembly 320 is rotatably connected to the moving seat 313 so as to be able to move up and down with the moving seat 313 and be able to rotate relative to the moving seat 313. The second driver 312 is arranged on the moving seat 313. The second driver 312 and the push rod assembly 320 are connected by a synchronous belt so as to be able to drive the push rod assembly 320 to rotate. During use, the feeding mechanism 200 feeds and conveys the hose 1 to the transfer station 101. The first driver 311 drives the moving seat 313 to move downwards, so as to drive the push rod assembly 320 to move downwards, so that the lower part of the push rod assembly 320 extends into the hose 1 located at the transfer station 101. Subsequently, the lower part of the push rod assembly 320 expands to abut against the inner wall of the hose 1. The second driver 312 drives the push rod assembly 320 to rotate, so that the push rod assembly 320 drives the hose 1 to rotate. At the same time, the first driver 311 drives the moving seat 313 to continue to move downwards, so that the hose 1 moves downwards to the detection position corresponding to the detection assembly 400. The detection assembly 400 detects the color mark on the hose 1. When the color mark of the hose 1 is detected, the second driver 312 drives the push rod assembly 320 to stop rotating, completing the alignment adjustment of the hose 1. The first driver 311 continues to drive the moving seat 313 to move downwards, and conveys the hose 1 with the alignment adjusted to the lower die 2 through the push rod assembly 320. Subsequently, the lower part of the push rod assembly 320 closes, releasing the abutment with the inner wall of the hose 1, so as to be able to separate from the hose 1. The first driver 311 drives the moving seat 313 to move upwards to reset, so as to complete the alignment adjustment and the feeding operation.

[0044] In practical applications, in addition to abutting against the inner wall of the hose 1, the way to drive the hose 1 to rotate can also be to clamp the outer wall or wall surface of the hose 1. To realize the clamping and rotation of the hose 1 can also be achieved through a rotating clamping cylinder. The specific movement process of the hose 1 can also be changed according to actual usage needs, such as first descending to the detection position and then driving it to rotate, etc. Driving the up and down movement of the push rod assembly 320 can be achieved through a motor lead screw structure, or through a motor synchronous belt structure, etc. The specific structure for the lower part of the push rod assembly 320 to realize opening and closing can be set according to actual usage needs and will not be described in detail here. Specific descriptions will be given below.

[0045] In some embodiments, the push rod assembly 320 includes a first rod body 321, a second rod body 322, a connecting head 323, a moving member 324, a claw member 325, and an elastic member 326. The lower end of the first rod body 321 is connected to the connecting head 323. The second rod body 322 movably passes through the first rod body 321 and is connected to the moving member 324. The claw member 325 is rotatably connected to the connecting head 323. The elastic member 326 acts on the claw member 325. A plurality of claw members 325 are provided and are circumferentially spaced apart along the connecting head 323. The second rod body 322 can move up and down relative to the first rod body 321 and can drive the moving member 324 to move. The moving member 324 abuts against each claw member 325 respectively and can drive the claw member 325 to rotate against the acting force of the elastic member 326. The claw member 325 can rotate to abut against the inner wall of the hose 1.

[0046] It can be understood that as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the first rod body 321 is rotatably connected to the moving seat 313. The lower end of the first rod body 321 is connected with a connecting head 323. A plurality of claw members 325 are rotatably connected to the connecting head 323. The rotation axis of the claw member 325 is approximately located in the middle thereof. The elastic member 326 is connected to the connecting head 323 and acts on the claw member 325. The second rod body 322 movably passes through the first rod body 321 and its lower end is connected to the moving member 324. In use, the lower part of the push rod assembly 320 extends into the hose 1. The second rod body 322 moves up and down and can drive the moving member 324 to move, so that the moving member 324 abuts against each claw member 325 respectively to drive the claw member 325 to rotate against the acting force of the elastic member 326, so that the lower parts of the claw members 325 can rotate towards each other and approach to realize closing, or can rotate away from each other, so that the lower parts of the claw members 325 can rotate to abut against the inner wall of the hose 1 to realize expansion. Its structure is simple, which is convenient to realize the expansion and closing functions of the lower part of the push rod assembly 320. The structure is stable and reliable, and it is convenient to use.

[0047] In actual application, the up-and-down movement of the second rod body 322 can be realized by setting a cylinder drive or by pushing it up and down through an external pushing structure. The second rod body 322 and the moving member 324 can be connected by threads, inserted, or abutted, etc. The claw member 325 and the connecting head 323 can also be slidably connected. The moving member 324 can push the claw member 325 to move radially along the connecting head 323 through a wedge-shaped structure to realize the expansion and contraction functions of the lower part of the push rod assembly 320. Of course, the moving member 324 can also drive the claw member 325 to rotate or move through a connecting rod structure. The specific structures and connection methods of the elastic member 326, the connecting head 323, the claw member 325, etc. can be set according to actual use needs, and their action processes and structures will not be described in detail here. Specific descriptions will be given below.

[0048] In some embodiments, the elastic member 326 is an annular elastic ring. A claw groove 301 for accommodating the claw member 325 is provided on the connecting head 323 corresponding to the claw member 325. An activity cavity 302 is provided inside the connecting head 323. The moving member 324 is located in the activity cavity 302. The claw groove 301 communicates with the activity cavity 302. An annular groove 303 communicating with the claw groove 301 is provided on the connecting head 323. The elastic member 326 is arranged in the annular groove 303 and acts on the claw member 325. The claw member 325 can rotate relative to the connecting head 323 under the action of the elastic member 326.

[0049] It can be understood that, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the elastic member 326 is an annular elastic ring. The claw member 325 is rotatably arranged in the claw groove 301. The moving member 324 is slidably arranged in the movable cavity 302 and abuts against each claw member 325 through an inclined surface. The elastic member 326 is arranged in the annular groove 303 to sleeved on the upper part of each claw member 325. During use, the lower part of the push rod assembly 320 extends into the hose 1. The second rod body 322 moves upward and drives the moving member 324 to move upward, or the second rod body 322 moves upward to form an avoidance for the moving member 324. Under the elastic contraction effect of the elastic member 326, the moving member 324 is pushed upward through the inclined surface pushing effect. At the same time, the elastic contraction effect of the elastic member 326 enables the upper parts of the claw members 325 to rotate towards each other and approach, so that the lower parts of the claw members 325 rotate away from each other in the opposite direction and rotate to abut against the inner wall of the hose 1 to achieve expansion; when closing, the second rod body 322 drives the moving member 324 to move downward, and each claw member 325 is pushed to rotate by the inclined surface to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 326, so that the upper parts of the claw members 325 rotate away from each other in the opposite direction, so that the lower parts of the claw members 325 rotate towards each other and approach to separate from the inner wall of the hose 1. By setting the elastic member 326 as an annular elastic ring, the connection between the elastic member 326 and the multiple claw members 325 is relatively simple. The settings of the claw groove 301, the movable cavity 302 and the annular groove 303 facilitate the connection settings of each component, and at the same time can also simplify the lower structure of the push rod assembly 320 for convenient assembly and use.

[0050] In actual application, the elastic member 326 can also be sleeved on the lower part of each claw member 325. Then the moving member 324 can drive each claw member 325 to rotate through a connecting rod structure, or the moving member 324 is located at the lower part of the claw member 325, and each claw member 325 is pushed to expand or close through a wedge structure, or the moving member 324 is sleeved on the upper part of multiple claw members 325, and each claw member 325 is pushed to rotate by the conical surface against the outer side of the upper part of each claw member 325 to overcome the acting force of the elastic member 326; of course, the elastic member 326 can also be a spring, and multiple springs can be correspondingly arranged for each claw member 325 and are connected to each claw member 325 one by one. The spring is specifically a compression spring or a tension spring, which can change accordingly according to its setting situation; the moving member 324 can push the claw member 325 to rotate through an inclined surface, or the claw member 325 is inclined, and the moving member 324 drives multiple claw members 325 to rotate by means of plane pressing. Details are not described herein.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connector 323 is detachably connected to the first rod body 321. By providing the detachable connection between the connector 323 and the first rod body 321, the connector 323 can be disassembled and replaced. On the one hand, it can facilitate the replacement and repair of the connector 323 and other components connected to the connector 323. On the other hand, it can replace the jaw member 325 with different rotational opening and closing radii by replacing the connector 323, so that the lower part of the push rod assembly 320 can abut against hoses 1 with different pipe diameters, thereby improving the applicability of the present invention. In actual application, the specific detachable structure between the connector 323 and the first rod body 321 can be set according to actual usage needs, such as realizing detachability through a threaded structure, a pin structure or a clamping structure, etc., which will not be described in detail here and will be further described specifically below.

[0052] In some embodiments, a locking nut 327 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the first rod body 321. The upper end of the connector 323 is provided with a plug-in portion 328. The lower end of the first rod body 321 is provided with a plug-in space 304 and a locking sleeve 329 corresponding to the plug-in portion 328. The plug-in portion 328 is provided with a connection hole 305 corresponding to the second rod body 322. The moving member 324 is movably connected to the connector 323. The second rod body 322 passes through the connection hole 305 and can abut against the moving member 324. The plug-in portion 328 passes through the locking sleeve 329 and can be inserted into the plug-in space 304. The locking nut 327 can move by screw thread engagement to press the locking sleeve 329 against the plug-in portion 328.

[0053] It can be understood that, as Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, during connection, the plug-in portion 328 passes through the locking sleeve 329 and is inserted into the plug-in space 304. The second rod body 322 passes through the connection hole 305 and extends into the movable cavity 302 and abuts against the moving member 324, so as to be able to push and move the moving member 324. The locking nut 327 moves relative to the first rod body 321 by screw thread engagement and squeezes the locking sleeve 329, so that the locking sleeve 329 presses against the plug-in portion 328, thereby fixedly connecting the connector 323 to the lower end of the first rod body 321; during disassembly and replacement, rotate and loosen the locking nut 327 to release its extrusion on the locking sleeve 329, so that the plug-in portion 328 can be pulled out from the plug-in space 304, and the second rod body 322 is separated from the moving member 324, thereby realizing the detachability of the connector 323. Its structure is relatively simple, the connection is stable and reliable, and it is convenient for disassembly and use.

[0054] In actual application, the locking nut 327 can also be arranged on the connecting head 323. The connecting head 323 is provided with a stepped abutting portion. The locking nut 327 abuts the stepped abutting portion against the lower end of the first rod body 321 by being threadedly connected to the lower end of the first rod body 321, so as to realize detachable connection. Or the connecting head 323 and the first rod body 321 can also be directly detachably connected through a threaded structure. Those skilled in the art should understand all of these, and details will not be elaborated here.

[0055] In some embodiments, a transfer seat 500 is arranged at the transfer station 101. A transfer chute 501 corresponding to the hose 1 and an adsorption assembly 510 located in the transfer chute 501 are arranged on the transfer seat 500. The feeding mechanism 200 can convey the hose 1 into the transfer chute 501, and the adsorption assembly 510 can adsorb the hose 1 in the transfer chute 501.

[0056] It can be understood that as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, a transfer seat 500 is arranged at the transfer station 101. During use, the feeding mechanism 200 conveys the hose 1 to the transfer station 101 and places it in the transfer chute 501. Subsequently, the adsorption assembly 510 adsorbs the hose 1 in the transfer chute 501 to the transfer chute 501, and the feeding mechanism 200 can then reset to prepare for the next feeding operation. The pushing mechanism 300 starts to act to complete subsequent alignment adjustment of the hose 1 and convey it to the mold 2. By arranging the transfer seat 500, it can improve the overall working efficiency of the device, help reduce the stop waiting time of the feeding mechanism 200, and improve production efficiency.

[0057] In actual application, the specific structures of the transfer seat 500 and the transfer chute 501 can be set accordingly according to actual usage needs. The adsorption assembly 510 can be an air hole arranged in the transfer chute 501 and a vacuum suction assembly connected to the air hole to adsorb the hose 1 in the transfer chute 501, or the adsorption assembly 510 can be a vacuum chuck arranged in the transfer chute 501. Those skilled in the art should understand all of these, and no limitations are made here.

[0058] In some embodiments, the transfer seat 500 is connected with a second driving assembly 520, and the second driving assembly 520 can drive the transfer seat 500 to move back and forth relative to the pushing mechanism 300.

[0059] It can be understood that as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, during use, the feeding mechanism 200 conveys the hose 1 to the transfer chute 501. The adsorption assembly 510 adsorbs the hose 1 to the transfer chute 501. The feeding mechanism 200 releases the grasping of the hose 1 and resets to prepare for the next feeding operation. Subsequently, the push rod assembly 320 moves downward and extends into the hose 1 in the transfer chute 501. The lower part of the push rod assembly 320 expands to abut against the inner wall of the hose 1 to grasp the hose 1. The adsorption assembly 510 releases the adsorption of the hose 1. The second driving assembly 520 drives the transfer seat 500 to move backward relative to the feeding mechanism 300 to avoid the rotation of the hose 1 and the push rod assembly 320. The feeding mechanism 300 drives the hose 1 to rotate and conveys the hose 1 to the mold 2 to complete the alignment adjustment and feeding operation of the hose 1. By setting that the transfer seat 500 can move back and forth relative to the feeding mechanism 300 to avoid the rotation of the hose 1 and the push rod assembly 320, it can prevent the hose 1 from colliding with the wall of the transfer chute 501 during rotation and can also prevent the possible collision interference when the push rod assembly 320 moves up and down, improving the reliability of use.

[0060] In practical applications, the second driving assembly 520 can be a cylinder or a linear motor, etc. The specific structure of the second driving assembly 520 can be set accordingly according to actual use needs, as long as it can drive the transfer seat 500 to move back and forth relative to the feeding mechanism 300, and no limitation is made here.

[0061] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a third driving assembly 210 and a suction cup assembly 220 drivingly connected to the third driving assembly 210. The third driving assembly 210 can drive the suction cup assembly 220 to rotate, and the suction cup assembly 220 can adsorb and grasp the hose 1.

[0062] It can be understood that as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the third driving assembly 210 includes a third driver 211 and a rotating arm 212. The third driver 211 is connected to the frame 100 and drivingly connected to the rotating arm 212. The free end of the rotating arm 212 is connected with the suction cup assembly 220. The third driver 211 and the suction cup assembly 220 are connected by a synchronous belt. During use, the suction cup assembly 220 grasps the hose 1 by adsorbing the hose 1. The third driver 211 drives the rotating arm 212 to rotate and simultaneously drives the suction cup assembly 220 to flip through the synchronous belt, so that the suction cup assembly 220 rotates to the transfer station 101 to realize the grasping and feeding function of the feeding mechanism 200. Its structure is simple and reliable, easy to implement, and convenient for production use.

[0063] In actual application, the third driving component 210 can also drive the movement or rotation of the suction cup component 220 through a three-axis linkage driving assembly. In addition to the suction cup component 220, the feeding mechanism 200 can also clamp and grasp the hose 1 through a clamping cylinder. The specific structures of the third driving component 210 and the suction cup component 220 can be set according to actual use requirements. Since the composition and principle of the suction cup component 220 in the embodiments of the present invention are known to those of ordinary skill in the art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0064] The hose production and processing equipment according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes the hose loading and alignment device according to the above first aspect embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] The hose production and processing equipment according to the embodiments of the present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned hose loading and alignment device, helps to shorten the conveying stroke of the conveying device, reduce the volume of the hose production and processing equipment, and at the same time helps to improve the production efficiency of the hose and facilitate production application.

[0066] Since the other components of the hose production and processing equipment in the embodiments of the present invention are known to those of ordinary skill in the art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0067] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
