Description

Silicone tube automatic assembly equipment Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of silicone tube assembly technology, and in particular to an automatic silicone tube assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] For patients who have undergone surgery, are in a coma, or are unable to eat independently, medical silicone gastric tubes are commonly used in clinical practice for feeding and infusion of nutritional solutions. The gastric tube is inserted into the patient's stomach or intestine through the nasal cavity or abdomen to deliver nutritional solutions and other nutrients into the gastrointestinal tract.

[0003] A typical nasogastric tube consists of two silicone tubes: silicone tube 1 and silicone tube 2. Silicone tube 2 is a T-shaped silicone tube with three connectors. Two of the connectors of silicone tube 2 are connected to one of silicone tubes 1. The nutrient solution is injected through one of silicone tubes 1, passes through silicone tube 2, and is then output into the gastrointestinal tract through the other silicone tube 1. The third connector of silicone tube 2 is sealed with a cap. When oral medications are needed, medical staff can remove the cap and inject the medication into the patient's gastrointestinal tract through the third connector.

[0004] Because silicone tubing is relatively soft and easily deformed, it is mostly assembled manually during production. Workers apply adhesive to the outer wall of one end of silicone tubing before inserting it into another. However, manual assembly of silicone tubing is inefficient and needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the efficiency of silicone tube assembly, this application provides an automatic silicone tube assembly device.

[0006] The automatic silicone tube assembly equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The automatic silicone tube assembly equipment includes a transport mechanism, a glue application mechanism, and an assembly mechanism. The glue application mechanism and the assembly mechanism are sequentially arranged on the same side of the transport mechanism. The transport mechanism is used to load and transport silicone tube one. The glue application mechanism is used to apply glue to the outer wall of one end of silicone tube one. The assembly mechanism is used to insert silicone tube two into silicone tube one. The assembly mechanism includes a fixing component and an insertion component. The fixing component is arranged on one side of the transport mechanism to fix silicone tube one. The insertion component is arranged on the side of the fixing component away from the transport mechanism. The insertion component is used to insert silicone tube two into silicone tube one.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, silicone tube 1 is placed on a transport mechanism, which moves silicone tube 1 to a gluing mechanism. The gluing mechanism applies glue to the outer wall of one end of silicone tube 1 along its length. The transport mechanism then moves silicone tube 1 to an assembly mechanism, where a fixing component fixes the end of silicone tube 1 with the insertion component, and an insertion component inserts silicone tube 2 onto silicone tube 1. This improves the automation level of silicone tube assembly, thereby increasing assembly efficiency, while reducing manual labor intensity, which in turn improves work efficiency and work enthusiasm.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the transport mechanism includes a moving component and a loading component. The moving component includes two mounting beams arranged opposite each other, a plurality of drive rollers rotatably disposed between the two mounting beams, a drive belt connecting all the drive rollers, and a drive motor disposed on any of the mounting beams, the output end of the drive motor being connected to one of the drive rollers.

The support frame is used to carry a silicone tube.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, silicone tube one is placed on the support frame. Under the drive of the drive motor, the transmission roller drives the transmission belt to rotate, which in turn drives the loading plate and the support frame to move, thereby driving silicone tube one to move.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the adhesive application mechanism includes a clamping assembly and an adhesive application assembly. The clamping assembly includes a clamping member one and a clamping member two, which are respectively disposed on the side of any of the mounting beams away from the transmission belt. The clamping member one and the clamping member two work together to clamp and fix one end of the silicone tube one. The adhesive application assembly includes an adhesive holding member and an adhesive application member. The adhesive holding member is disposed on the side of the clamping member one away from the transmission belt, and the adhesive application member is disposed on the end of the adhesive holding member away from the clamping member one.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, clamping component one and clamping component two clamp and fix one end of the silicone tube in the length direction, which facilitates the directional application of adhesive to the coating component.

[0013] In one specific implementation scheme, the clamping component one includes a mounting frame one disposed on the side of any of the mounting beams away from the transmission belt, a clamping cylinder one disposed on the mounting frame one, a clamping plate one disposed at the output end of the clamping cylinder one, and a plurality of clamping blocks one disposed on the clamping plate one.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, clamping cylinder one and clamping cylinder two extend simultaneously, clamping block one and clamping block two are inserted into each other, and silicone tube one is fixed in the side wall of clamping groove one and clamping groove two. Clamping block one and clamping block two cooperate to fix one end of silicone tube one, which makes it easier for the glue applicator to apply glue to the outer side wall of one end of silicone tube one, reducing the possibility of the glue application point of the glue applicator shifting.

[0015] In one specific implementation scheme, the glue-holding component includes a support frame one disposed at the end of the mounting frame one away from the transmission belt, and a glue-holding box disposed on the support frame; the glue-applying component includes a support frame two, a propulsion cylinder one, a lifting cylinder one, a lifting plate, a bidirectional cylinder, a connecting frame one, a glue-applying plate one, multiple glue-applying blocks one, a connecting frame two, a glue-applying plate two, and multiple glue-applying blocks two.

Multiple glue-applying blocks two are mounted on the glue-applying plate two, and each glue-applying block two corresponds to one glue-applying block one. Each glue-applying block two is provided with a glue-applying channel two that cooperates with the glue-applying channel one.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, lifting cylinder one moves adhesive block one and adhesive block two to the side wall of the glue container, so that adhesive block one and adhesive block two are coated with glue. Lifting cylinder one then moves adhesive block one and adhesive block two out of the glue container. Pushing cylinder one moves adhesive block one and adhesive block two towards silicone tube one. Bidirectional cylinder controls adhesive block one and adhesive block two to abut against one end of silicone tube one, so that silicone tube is clamped between adhesive channel one and adhesive channel two, so as to apply glue to the outer wall of silicone tube.

A stop groove is formed on the side of the stop plate near any of the moving grippers, and the inner wall of the stop groove abuts against the end of the second silicone tube away from the first silicone tube.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning plate reduces the possibility of misalignment of the second silicone tube, making it easier to position and insert the second silicone tube into the first silicone tube.

[0021] In one specific implementation, the fixing component includes a fixing member, which includes a fixing frame, a fixing cylinder one, a fixing plate one, a fixing block one, a fixing cylinder two, a fixing plate two, and a fixing block two.

[0063] The implementation principle of the automatic silicone tube assembly equipment in this application is as follows:

[0064] Multiple silicone tubes 8 are placed on the support frame 122. Driven by the drive motor 114, the transmission belt 113 rotates and moves the multiple silicone tubes 8 to the bottom of the mounting frame 421. The clamping cylinders 412 and 422 extend, and the corresponding clamping block 414 is inserted into the side wall of the relief groove 425. The silicone tubes 8 are clamped between the inner side wall of the clamping groove 415 and the inner side wall of the clamping groove 426.

[0065] Lifting cylinder 523 retracts, causing all adhesive application blocks 527 and 529 to descend into the glue collection box 512 via lifting plate 524, thus coating adhesive application blocks 527 and 529 with glue. Lifting cylinder 523 then extends, causing all adhesive application blocks 527 and 529 to rise. Simultaneously, pushing cylinder 522 extends, moving all adhesive application blocks 527 and 529 closer to the silicone tube 8. The two adhesive application blocks 527 and 529 are located at the two ends of one of the silicone tubes 8. The bidirectional cylinder 525 retracts, causing the adhesive application blocks 527 and 529 to abut against each other, thereby fixing the silicone tube 8 between the inner wall of the adhesive application channel 5271 and the inner wall of the adhesive application channel 5291, and applying the adhesive on the inner wall of the adhesive application channel 5271 and the inner wall of the adhesive application channel 5291 to the outer wall of the silicone tube 8.

[0066] The first cylinder 522 retracts, causing all the first adhesive blocks 527 and the second adhesive block 529 to move away from the silicone tube 8. The bidirectional cylinder 525 extends, separating the first adhesive block 527 from the second adhesive block 529, ready for the next application of adhesive. The first clamping cylinder 412 and the second clamping cylinder 422 retract, and the drive motor 114 drives the multiple silicone tubes 8 to continue moving to below the support frame 71.

[0067] Fixed cylinder 612 and fixed cylinder 615 extend, and corresponding fixed block 614 is inserted into the side wall of relief groove 6171. Silicone tube 8 is clamped between the inner side wall of fixed groove 6141 and the inner side wall of fixed groove 6172. Positioning cylinder 621 and positioning cylinder 624 extend, and corresponding positioning block 623 abuts against positioning block 626. The end of silicone tube 8 coated with glue is fixed between the inner side wall of assembly groove 6231 and the inner side wall of assembly groove 6261.

[0068] Lifting cylinder 2 74 drives multiple moving grippers 75 to descend. The moving grippers 75 clamp the silicone tube 2 9. The pushing cylinder 2 72 extends, so that the end of the silicone tube 2 9 near the silicone tube 8 enters between the inner wall of the assembly groove 1 6231 and the inner wall of the assembly groove 2 6261. The abutting cylinder 76 extends, and the abutting plate 77 abuts against the end of the silicone tube 2 9 away from the silicone tube 8, and drives the silicone tube 2 9 to abut against the inner walls of the assembly groove 1 6231 and the assembly groove 2 6261, so as to insert the silicone tube 2 9 into the silicone tube 8.

[0069] The stop cylinder 76 and the push cylinder 72 retract so that each moving gripper 75 clamps another silicone tube 9; the fixing cylinder 612 and the fixing cylinder 615 retract to release the silicone tube 8, and the worker removes the assembled silicone tube from the support frame 122.

[0070] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
