Detailed implementation mode

[0037] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The automatic assembly and detection system for the hose provides four technical solutions:

[0039] Such as Figure 4 And 5 Shows the first implementation mode: including a support box body 1, a main core vibrating feeder 2, a nut vibrating feeder 3 and a core inserting assembly 4. The core inserting assembly 4 is necessary in the hose assembly. It is required to drive the core inserting rod to move through a cylinder and assemble the main core. An assembly detection mechanism 5 is arranged on the top of the support box body 1, and a double - headed assembly driving mechanism 6 is arranged inside the support box body 1, which is used to drive the assembly detection mechanism 5 to rotate to complete double - headed assembly and limit the rotation of the assembly detection mechanism 5 through the limiting component 67. A feeding mechanism 7 is arranged on the right side of the assembly detection mechanism 5, which is used to convey the hose into the assembly detection mechanism 5. A discharging mechanism 8 is arranged in the middle part of the assembly detection mechanism 5, which is used to discharge the assembled hose and classify the unqualified assembled hoses.

[0040] The double - headed assembly driving mechanism 6 includes a driving motor 61, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the support box body 1. The output end of the driving motor 61 is fixedly connected with a first disc 62. A section of first gear teeth 63 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the first disc 62. The top of the inner wall of the support box body 1 is rotatably connected with a hollow shaft 64. The hollow shaft 64 penetrates through the support box body 1 and extends above the support box body 1. One end of the hollow shaft 64 above the support box body 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the support disc 51. A second disc 65 is fixedly connected to the surface of the hollow shaft 64 inside the support box body 1. Four sections of second gear teeth 66 are equidistantly arranged on the circumferential surface of the second disc 65. The rotation of the first gear teeth 63 can be respectively meshed and transmitted with the four sections of second gear teeth 66.

[0041] The limiting component 67 includes a fixed rod 671, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the support box body 1. A notched disc 672 is fixedly connected to the surface of the output shaft of the driving motor 61 and is located below the first disc 62. A first limiting rod 673 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod 671. The limiting cylinder at the top of the first limiting rod 673 is in contact with the surface of the notched disc 672. A second limiting rod 674 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod 671. Four limiting grooves 675 are equidistantly formed on the circumferential surface of the second disc 65. The limiting cylinder on the second limiting rod 674 is matched with the limiting grooves 675. A reset spring 676 is hung on the front of the second limiting rod 674, and the other end of the reset spring 676 is hung on the hook on the front of the inner wall of the support box body 1.

[0042] By setting the double - headed assembly driving mechanism 6, the hose can have multiple position changes during the assembly process, so that the two ends can successively complete the assembly process of the main core and the nut. The double - headed assembly task can be completed independently without manual cooperation, greatly improving the efficiency of hose assembly. Through the limiting component 67 set in the double - headed assembly driving mechanism 6, the position of the support disc 51 can be limited after each rotation of the support disc 51, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the position during the assembly process and preventing the support disc 51 from rotating during the assembly process.

[0043] Such as Figure 1 、 2, 3, 4, and 6 illustrate the second implementation mode. The main difference from the first implementation mode is that the assembly detection mechanism 5 includes a support disk 51. On the top of the support disk 51, there are two clamping components 52 on the left and right and two nut assembly components 53 on the left and right. The clamping component 52 also drives the unilateral clamping block to move and approach the hose 72 through a cylinder and clamps on the hose 72, but does not restrict the left and right movement of the hose 72. The left nut assembly component 53 includes a slide plate 531. The slide plate 531 is slidably connected to the left side of the top of the support disk 51 through a slider and a chute. A first clamping block 532 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 531. A second clamping block 533 is slidably connected to the top of the slide plate 531 through a slider and a chute. A first cylinder 534 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 531. The output end of the first cylinder 534 is fixedly connected to the front of the second clamping block 533. A first hydraulic cylinder 535 is fixedly connected to the top of the support disk 51. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 535 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slide plate 531. The right nut assembly component 53 is symmetrically arranged with the left nut assembly component 53. The two clamping components 52 on the left and right are arranged between the sides opposite to the two nut assembly components 53. In order to cooperate with the use of the assembly detection mechanism 5, infrared sensors are installed on the left and right sides of the support disk 51. The infrared distance sensors are mainly responsible for detecting the distance between the infrared distance sensors and the head of the hose 72. If the distance remains unchanged after assembly, it means that the nut has fallen off during the detection. If the distance decreases, it means that the assembly is qualified, and a signal is sent to the receiving component 810 to make it work.

[0044] Through the left-right symmetrical arrangement of the assembly detection mechanism 5, in addition to cooperating to complete the double-head assembly, it can also perform assembly quality detection on the assembled hose, thus ensuring the reliability of the assembly quality.

[0045] Such as Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 9, and 10 illustrate the third implementation mode. The main difference from the second implementation mode is that the feeding mechanism 7 includes a hose rack 71. The hose rack 71 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the support box body 1. The hose rack 71 stores hoses 72 inside. The hose rack 71 is divided into two sections. The first section is a rectangular empty slot, horizontally fixed on the top of the support box body 1. The second section is an inclined part, inclined and fixed at the right rear of the first section. Both the left and right sides of the bottom of the hose 72 are fixedly connected with two front and rear baffles 73. A driving wheel 74 is rotatably connected between the opposite sides of the two baffles 73. An input motor 75 is fixedly connected to the back of the right rear baffle 73. The output end of the input motor 75 is connected to one end of the driving wheel 74. Pulley wheels 76 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the left and right driving wheels 74. The left and right pulley wheels 76 are connected by a belt.

[0046] The feeding mechanism 7 enables the hose to continuously enter the assembly and inspection mechanism 5, thereby reducing the manual operation intensity, and the operator only needs to replenish the materials.

[0047] Such as Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 6, 7 and 8 show the fourth implementation manner. The main difference from the third implementation manner is that the blanking mechanism 8 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 81 and a material receiving component 810. The material receiving component 810 is arranged on the front surface of the support box body 1. The material receiving component 810 is composed of a motor, a lead screw and a double-chamber collection box. The rotation of the motor can make the double-chamber collection box move left and right to complete the classification and collection of qualified and unqualified hoses for assembly. The second hydraulic cylinder 81 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the support box body 1. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 81 is fixedly connected with a T-shaped ejector rod 82. The T-shaped ejector rod 82 passes through the hollow shaft 64, penetrates the support box body 1 and the support disc 51 and extends above the support disc 51. The head of the T-shaped ejector rod 82 is located in the groove adapted to the top of the support disc 51. A groove 83 is opened on the head of the T-shaped ejector rod 82. A fixing rod 84 is fixedly connected between the left and right sides of the inner wall of the groove 83. The surface of the fixing rod 84 is rotatably connected with an arc-shaped bracket 85 through two left and right connecting blocks. A torsion spring 86 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 84 between the two connecting blocks at the bottom of the arc-shaped bracket 85. One end of the torsion spring 86 is fixedly connected to the right side of the left connecting block, and the other end of the torsion spring 86 is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove 83. A first stop block 87 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the arc-shaped bracket 85. A blanking frame 88 is fixedly connected to the top of the support disc 51. The blanking frame 88 is located in front of the arc-shaped bracket 85. A second stop block 89 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the back surface of the blanking frame 88. The first stop block 87 and the second stop block 89 cooperate with each other.

[0048] The blanking mechanism 8 can blank the hose and classify the unqualified hoses for assembly, improving the automation degree of the device operation.

[0049] The present invention also discloses an operation method for an automatic assembly and inspection system of a hose, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: Feeding: Put a plurality of hoses 72 from the inclined part of the hose rack 71. Under the action of gravity, the lowermost hose 72 falls into the inside of the long rectangular groove. Start the input motor 75. The rotation of the input motor 75 makes the driving wheel 74 rotate. The rotation of the driving wheel 74 makes the belt pulley 76 rotate. The rotation of the belt pulley 76 drives the left belt pulley 76 to rotate. At this time, the left and right driving wheels 74 rotate simultaneously. The left driving wheel 74 rotates and drives the hose 72 to move leftward, and under the rotation of the left driving wheel 74, the hose 72 continues to move, so that the hose 72 enters above the support disc 51.

[0051] Step 2: Main core assembly: After the hose 72 enters above the support disc 51, the left end of the hose 72 is between the first clamping block 532 and the second clamping block 533 on the left side, and the right end of the hose 72 is between the first clamping block 532 and the second clamping block 533 on the right side. Start the first cylinder 534 on the left side to make the second clamping block 533 approach the hose 72 and clamp and fix the left end of the hose 72 through the cooperation of the first clamping block 532. The right end of the hose 72 is not fixed. Start the core punching assembly 4 to punch the main core into the left end of the hose 72.

[0052] Step 3: Nut assembly: Start the drive motor 61. The drive motor 61 rotates to make the first disc 62 rotate. The rotation of the first disc 62 makes the first gear 63 rotate. The first gear 63 rotates and, after meshing with the second gear 66, makes the second disc 65 rotate clockwise by 90 degrees, that is, the hose 72 rotates by 90 degrees. At this time, the left side of the hose 72 faces backward. At this time, start the original first hydraulic cylinder 535 on the left side to make the left end of the hose 72 approach the nut and perform nut assembly. In addition, while the first disc 62 rotates, the notched disc 672 rotates, and the notched part contacts the limiting cylinder on the first limiting rod 673, and under the pulling of the return spring 676, the limiting cylinder on the second limiting rod 674 comes out of the limiting groove 675. At this time, the second disc can rotate. After rotating by 90 degrees, the arc part of the notched disc 672 contacts the first limiting rod 673, making the first limiting rod 673 rotate, and through the fixing rod 671, making the second limiting rod 674 rotate and enter the limiting groove 675, so as to perform limiting.

[0053] Step 4: Double - end assembly: The drive motor 61 continues to rotate, then the first gear 63 continues to rotate, and when it rotates to mesh with the next section of the second gear 66, it makes the second disc 65 rotate clockwise by 90 degrees again. At this time, the original right end of the hose 72 moves to the left side. At this time, the first cylinder 534 on the left side is started to make the original left end of the hose 72 release the clamping, and the original first cylinder 534 on the right side is started to clamp and fix the right end of the hose 72, and the main core assembly is carried out through the core punching assembly 4. When the first gear 63 meshes with the second gear 66 for the third time, it makes the hose 72 rotate clockwise by 90 degrees again. At this time, the end where the main core has just been assembled comes to the position in front of the nut, and then start the original first hydraulic cylinder 535 on the right side to perform nut assembly.

[0054] Step 5: Inspection: After the two ends of the hose 72 are assembled, the drive motor 61 is still rotating, causing the support plate 51 to rotate ninety degrees clockwise for the fifth time. At this time, the hose 72 returns to its original position, and during the rotation of the hose 72, the two first air cylinders 534 are started at the same time to make the second clamp 533 close to the hose 72 and not fix the hose 72, that is, the hose 72 can move, and then the two first hydraulic cylinders 535 are started at the same time to make the left and right slides 531 move to the left and right sides, then the first clamp 532 and the second clamp 533 will contact the nut, and the nuts on both sides are pulled to detect the stability of the main core and the nut after assembly.

[0055] Step six: unloading: If the assembly of the hose 72 is qualified, the main cores and nuts at both ends will not fall off. At this time, start the second hydraulic cylinder 81 to move the T-shaped push rod 82 upward, and make the arc bracket 85 move upward with the hose 72. After the first stop block 87 contacts the second stop block 89, the arc bracket 85 rotates and tilts, thereby pushing the hose 72 onto the unloading rack 88, and sliding from the unloading rack 88 to the right cavity of the collection box in the receiving assembly 810. If the assembly of the hose 72 is unqualified, the nut will fall off during the inspection step. At this time, unloading causes the collection box in the receiving assembly 810 to move to the right, causing the unqualified hose to fall into the left cavity of the collection box.

[0056] Step 7: Continuous work. After the unloading process is completed, the input motor 75 is started again to send the hose 72 to the top of the support plate 51, and the drive motor 61 continues to rotate to complete all the above processes, so that the hose can be assembled continuously.
