Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment, specifically to a fully automatic pipe fitting electroplating automatic hanging equipment. [Background Technology]

[0002] For pipe fittings that need to be hung before electroplating, the existing production line generally operates manually, requiring a large number of people to separate the pipe fittings and hang them one by one on the hangers. This method is extremely labor-intensive and results in high personnel costs for enterprises. Therefore, a device that can automatically hang pipe fittings is needed. [Summary of the Invention]

[0003] To solve the above problems, a fully automatic tube fitting electroplating automatic hanging equipment is proposed, which can perform step-by-step stamping and is integrated into a set of molds.

[0004] A fully automatic pipe fitting electroplating automatic hanging device, the device includes a setting frame, a feeding setting frame, a hanging module, and a feeding module. The feeding setting frame is set on the side of the setting frame, and the feeding module is set on the feeding setting frame. The feeding module includes a hopper and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt spans the feeding module setting frame and the setting frame. The feeding module setting frame has a hopper with its outlet facing the conveyor belt. The outlet of the hopper is equipped with a discharge guide module. The setting frame also has a pushing module, which includes a pushing cylinder and a pushing plate.

[0005] The pushing cylinder is mounted on the frame; its output shaft faces the conveyor belt and a pushing plate is provided on the output shaft.

[0006] The upper-mounted module is mounted on the mounting frame;

[0007] The upper-mounted module includes a first cylinder, an upper pipe groove assembly, a scissor assembly, and a scissor base frame;

[0008] The scissor base is hinged to the mounting frame, the first cylinder is hinged to the mounting frame, and its output shaft is hinged to the scissor base.

[0009] The scissor base is also equipped with a second cylinder, which is connected to the scissor assembly;

[0010] The upper tube groove assembly is mounted on the mounting frame and located above the shear assembly;

[0011] The scissor assembly includes a scissor base plate, a fourth cylinder, a fifth cylinder, a crank, a connecting key, a connecting rod, and scissor components;

[0012] The scissors are equipped with a fourth cylinder and a fifth cylinder on the left and right sides of the bottom, respectively;

[0013] The output shafts of the fourth and fifth cylinders are both hinged with cranks;

[0014] The crank, key, and connecting rod are sequentially hinged to each other.

[0015] Several scissor pieces are hinged to the connecting rod;

[0016] The scissor arms on the connecting rods to which the fourth and fifth cylinders are hinged are connected to each other.

[0017] Using the above structure, the components are placed in the hopper, and the pipes are guided to the conveyor belt by the unloading guide module of the hopper. The conveyor belt transports the pipes, and the pusher cylinder drives the pusher plate to push the pipes on the conveyor belt forward, causing them to fall onto the upper pipe groove group of the hanging module. Under the action of the upper pipe groove group, the pipes are guided downward. Driven by the fourth and fifth cylinders of the scissor group, the crank-connecting rod structure composed of crank, key and connecting rod drives the two sets of scissor blades to cross each other, clamp the pipes, and complete the hanging. During the hanging process, the first cylinder drives the output shaft to tilt the scissor base frame upward, that is, drive the scissor group to change the angle of clamping the pipe or the angle of the hung pipe. Under the action of the second cylinder, the height of the scissor group relative to the scissor base frame is adjusted up and down, thereby changing the height of clamping the pipe or the height of the hung pipe. Through the angle and height adjustment of the first and second cylinders, the pipes are hung on the hanger, thereby realizing the rapid and automatic feeding and hanging of pipes.

[0018] Preferably, the conveyor belt is also provided with a dividing plate.

[0019] Therefore, by setting up dividing plates on the conveyor belt to separate the conveying area of ​​the conveyor belt, each dividing space is a space for placing a pipe fitting, thereby separating the pipe fittings to be loaded, which facilitates subsequent hanging operations.

[0020] Preferably, the lower end of the pusher plate is provided with pusher serrations, and the spacing of the pusher serrations matches the spacing of the dividing plates on the conveyor belt.

[0021] It can be seen that by providing pusher saw teeth at the lower end of the pusher plate, and the interval of each tooth pitch matching the interval of the dividing plate on the conveyor belt, the pusher saw teeth, driven by the pusher cylinder, push the pipes on the conveyor belt from the interval of the dividing plate to the upper pipe trough assembly, thereby realizing the rapid transfer of the pipes on the conveyor belt to the upper hanging module.

[0022] Preferably, the feeding frame includes a long frame, a short frame, a base frame, and an inclined frame;

[0023] The lower ends of the long frame and the short frame are respectively vertically set at both ends of the base frame;

[0024] The upper ends of the long frame and the short frame are connected by a ramp frame;

[0025] The long frame is also equipped with a conveyor belt placement rack;

[0026] The conveyor belt placement frame is equipped with a conveyor belt;

[0027] The hopper is mounted on an inclined frame and has a material guide module at its outlet.

[0028] It can be seen that by placing pipes in the hopper, and taking advantage of the characteristic that the hopper is set on an inclined frame, that is, the material yard is designed to be inclined, the placed material slides down under the action of gravity and enters the conveyor belt under the action of the feeding guide module. The structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0029] Preferably, the material feeding guide module includes a feeding hopper, a cylinder, and a baffle plate;

[0030] The hopper is located at the discharge port of the silo;

[0031] The hopper is provided with a baffle plate to enter the empty slot, and the cylinder is fixedly installed on the hopper and located at the upper end of the hopper;

[0032] The output shaft of the cylinder is connected to a baffle plate and is inserted into the empty slot through a baffle plate opened on the hopper.

[0033] As can be seen, the feeding hopper is used for directional guidance, and the baffle plate is driven by the cylinder. The output shaft of the cylinder extends and retracts, controlling the baffle plate to enter the empty slot on the feeding hopper, thereby achieving sealing during feeding and controlling the feeding of pipe fittings. This enables single and rapid feeding of pipe fittings, with a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0034] Preferably, the upper pipe groove group is composed of several upper pipe grooves arranged in sequence.

[0035] Preferably, a third cylinder is also hinged to the frame, and the output shaft of the third cylinder is hinged to the upper push plate and located above the upper tube groove assembly.

[0036] It can be seen that by driving the upper push plate with the third cylinder, the upper push plate fits into the upper pipe groove assembly, preventing the material pipe on the upper pipe groove assembly from detaching from the guide of the upper pipe groove assembly. At the same time, it also plays a fixing role, preventing the problem of the shear assembly failing to clamp the pipe when falling too fast, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of operation.

[0037] This invention achieves individual feeding of pipe fittings through the hopper of the feeding module and the unloading guide module. The pipe fittings are placed in the material yard and unloaded by gravity. The cylinder and baffle of the unloading guide module open and close the unloading hopper to ensure that each unloading is completed. In addition, the dividing area of ​​the conveyor belt divider plate is used to achieve material separation during unloading, thereby reducing labor costs and saving enterprise costs.

[0038] The hanging module and the pushing module of this invention work together to transfer the pipe fittings from the feeding module to the hanging fixture. The upper push plate, upper pipe groove group, scissor group and scissor base of the hanging module work together to position the fittings and hang them on the hanging fixture, thereby realizing the automatic hanging of the pipe fittings and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0076] The hopper 401 is mounted on the inclined frame 204, and a material guide module 403 is provided at its discharge port.

[0077] Preferably, the material feeding guide module 403 includes a feeding hopper 403a, a cylinder 403b, and a baffle plate 403c;

[0078] The hopper 403a is located at the discharge port of the silo 401;

[0079] The hopper 403a is provided with a baffle plate 403c for entering the empty slot, and the cylinder 403b is fixedly installed on the hopper 401 and located at the upper end of the hopper 403a;

[0080] The output shaft of the cylinder 403b is connected to a baffle plate 403c, which is inserted into the empty slot through the baffle plate 403c opened on the hopper 403a.

[0081] Preferably, the upper pipe groove group 301 is composed of several upper pipe grooves arranged in sequence.

[0082] Preferably, a third cylinder 6403b is also hinged to the frame 1, and the output shaft of the third cylinder 6403b is hinged to the upper push plate 7 and located above the upper tube groove group 301.

[0083] In this embodiment, the feeding frame 2 is equipped with two hoppers 401. Each hopper 401 corresponds to a set of conveyor belts 402. Each set of conveyor belts 402 corresponds to a set of hanging module 3 and pushing module 5.

[0084] The hanging module 3 and the pushing module 5 are set up vertically and vertically respectively;

[0085] The operator pre-places the pipe fittings in the hopper 401. Guided by the discharge guide module 403 of the hopper 401, the pipe fittings reach the conveyor belt 402, sliding downwards under gravity. They are then oriented onto the conveyor belt 402 via the discharge hopper 403a of the discharge guide module 403. Subsequently, the cylinder 403b drives the baffle plate 403c. The extension and retraction of the output shaft of the cylinder 403b controls the baffle plate 403c to enter the empty slot opened on the discharge hopper 403a, thus achieving sealing during discharge. The opening and closing mechanism controls the feeding of pipe fittings, enabling rapid, single-piece feeding. After entering the conveyor belt 402, the pipe fittings are individually arranged by the dividing plate 402a and conveyed to the front of the pushing module 5. Then, the pushing cylinder 501 drives the pushing plate 502 to push the pipe fittings on the conveyor belt 402 forward, causing them to fall onto the upper pipe trough group 301 of the upper hanging module 3. The pushing saw teeth 502a push the pipe fittings on the conveyor belt 402 down from the gaps in the dividing plate 402a onto the upper pipe trough group 301. Guided by the upper tube groove assembly 301, the component falls downwards. The third cylinder 6403b drives the upper push plate 7, which engages with the upper tube groove assembly 301 to prevent the material tube component on the upper tube groove assembly 301 from detaching from the guide of the upper tube groove assembly 301. It also serves to fix the component and prevent it from falling too quickly. Driven by the fourth cylinder 302b and the fifth cylinder 302c of the shear assembly 302, the crank 302d and connecting rod 302f structure, consisting of the crank 302d, connecting key 302e, and connecting rod 302f, causes the two sets of shear components 302g to cross each other and clamp the tube. The first cylinder 304 drives the output shaft to tilt the scissor base 303 upwards, thereby driving the scissor assembly 302 to change the angle of the clamped pipe or the angle of the hung pipe. Under the action of the second cylinder 403b305, the scissor assembly 302 adjusts its height relative to the scissor base 303, thereby changing the height of the clamped pipe or the height of the hung pipe. Through the angle and height adjustment of the first cylinder 304 and the second cylinder 403b305, the pipe is hung on the hanger, thus completing the hanging and realizing the rapid and automatic feeding and hanging of the pipe.

[0086] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
