Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive product processing equipment technology, specifically to a processing equipment for automotive front brake hose assemblies. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive braking systems, the brake lines used to connect the master cylinder and the wheel brakes typically include a brake hose assembly and a brake line (rigid line). The two ends of the brake hose are connected to the front and rear sections of the brake line, respectively. The brake hose assembly typically includes the brake hose, a central rubber component, a cap, and a retaining spring. Since brake hoses are usually made of rubber, the existing technology typically involves manually attaching the end caps and the central retaining spring in separate steps.

[0003] However, after long-term use, the existing technology still has some drawbacks, such as: First, during the transfer of batch front brake hose assemblies, whether in the end capping process or the middle spring fitting process, due to the presence of incompletely processed burrs on both the inner and outer surfaces of the brake hose, the burrs inevitably fall off and often adhere to the grooves at the ends of the assembly. If the caps are not cleaned in time and are directly fitted, the caps may be misaligned or not fitted properly. Second, in the manual fitting method, the brake hoses need to be laid flat on the processing platform during the multi-process processing. At this time, the rubber parts pre-installed in the middle of the brake hose, which are in a convex state, will experience more frequent wear, affecting the product quality of the brake hose assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a processing equipment for automotive front brake hose assemblies to overcome the aforementioned defects caused by the prior art.

[0005] A processing device for automotive front brake hose assemblies includes a frame, a mounting bracket, a cleaning cap mechanism, and a positioning spring mechanism. The mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the frame, and a pre-positioning plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting bracket. The cleaning cap mechanism is installed on the lower part of the mounting bracket and is used to clean the front brake hose and install a cap. The positioning spring mechanism is installed on the upper part of the mounting bracket and is used to position the front brake hose and install a protective spring.

[0006] Preferably, the cleaning cap mechanism includes a drive motor, a rotating part, and a nozzle. The drive motor is mounted on the lower end of the mounting frame, and a long gear is mounted on the output end of the drive motor. The rotating part is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, and a gear ring that meshes with the long gear is mounted on the outer side of the rotating part. The lower end of the rotating part is a cap supply chamber, and the upper end of the rotating part is mounted with an upwardly constricted air collection hood. A lifting rod is also slidably mounted on the mounting frame. A counterweight is placed on the lower end of the lifting rod, and a mounting base is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting rod. A roller is obliquely rotatably mounted on the lower end of the mounting base, and the outer edge of the roller abuts against the upper end of the rotating part. The nozzle is movably mounted on the upper end of the mounting base, and the side end of the nozzle is also movably mounted on the mounting frame via a hinge frame.

[0007] Preferably, the nozzle is connected to an external heat pump via a high-temperature resistant flexible tube.

[0008] Preferably, the nozzle corresponds to the upper constriction of the gas collection hood.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning spring mechanism includes a cylinder, a lead screw, and a guide cover. The cylinder is mounted on a mounting frame, and an L-shaped open positioning plate is installed at the output end of the cylinder. The lead screw is coaxially mounted on the upper end of a long gear, and a slider is threaded onto the lead screw. One side of the slider is slidably mounted on the mounting frame, and a limit guide opening is provided on the other side of the slider. The guide cover is disposed at the upper end of the mounting frame with a downwardly tapered opening.

[0010] Preferably, the opening positioning plate and the pre-positioning plate cooperate to position the central rubber component on the front brake hose assembly of the vehicle.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the limiting guide opening is larger than the outer diameter of the protective spring.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are:

[0013] By setting a cleaning cap mechanism and a positioning spring mechanism on the mounting frame, the output end of the drive motor drives the rotating part to rotate. Under the combined action of the mounting base and the hinge frame, the nozzle flips downward. The high-temperature and high-pressure jet ejected from its port is directed horizontally towards the lower outer surface of the brake hose, and gradually transitions to being directed towards the upper port of the air collection hood. While cleaning the outer surface, it also further softens the brake hose. The high-pressure jet diffuses and is ejected from its upper port along the inner wall of the air collection hood. While squeezing the softened brake hose to keep it in a vertical state, it also cleans the inner surface of the brake hose, avoiding situations where the cap is misaligned or not properly fitted.

[0014] The cylinder output drives the opening positioning plate and the pre-positioning plate to close together. The front brake hose can be vertically installed in the mounting frame through the middle rubber part. The guide cover puts the protective spring and the upper end cap on the brake hose, and the lower end cap is put into the cap supply cavity. The rotation of the screw drives the slider to move up along the mounting frame. The limiting guide port on the slider straightens the protective spring and completes the vertical installation of the cap, avoiding the frequent wear of the protruding rubber part caused by the flat processing method.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a processing equipment for automotive front brake hose assemblies includes a frame 1, a mounting bracket 2, a cleaning cap mechanism 3, and a positioning spring mechanism 4. The mounting bracket 2 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and a pre-positioning plate 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting bracket 2. The cleaning cap mechanism 3 is installed on the lower part of the mounting bracket 2 and is used to clean the front brake hose and install a cap. The positioning spring mechanism 4 is installed on the upper part of the mounting bracket 2 and is used to position the front brake hose and install a protective spring.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cleaning cap mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 301, a rotating part 302, and a nozzle 303. The drive motor 301 is mounted on the lower end of the mounting frame 2, and a long gear 304 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 301. The rotating part 302 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 2, and a gear ring 305 that meshes with the long gear 304 is mounted on the outer side of the rotating part 302. The lower end of the rotating part 302 is a cap supply cavity 306, and the upper end of the rotating part 302 is equipped with an upwardly constricted nozzle. The gas collection hood 307 and the mounting frame 2 are also slidably equipped with a lifting rod 308. A counterweight 309 is placed at the lower end of the lifting rod 308. The upper end of the lifting rod 308 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 310. A roller 311 is obliquely rotatably mounted at the lower end of the mounting base 310. The outer edge of the roller 311 abuts against the upper end of the rotating part 302. The nozzle 303 is movably mounted on the upper end of the mounting base 310. The side end of the nozzle 303 is also movably mounted on the mounting frame 2 through a hinge frame 312.

[0025] It is worth mentioning that the nozzle 303 is connected to an external heat pump through a high-temperature resistant flexible tube 313 to supply high-temperature jets.

[0026] In this embodiment, the nozzle 303 corresponds to the upper constriction of the gas collection hood 307.

[0027] In this embodiment, the positioning spring mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 41, a lead screw 42, and a guide cover 43. The cylinder 41 is mounted on the mounting frame 2, and an L-shaped open positioning plate 44 is mounted on the output end of the cylinder 41. The lead screw 42 is coaxially mounted on the upper end of the long gear 304, and a slider 45 is threaded onto the lead screw 42. One side of the slider 45 is slidably disposed on the mounting frame 2, and a limit guide opening 46 is opened on the other side of the slider 45. The guide cover 43 is disposed on the upper end of the mounting frame 2 with a downwardly tapered opening.

[0028] In addition, the opening positioning plate 44 and the prepositioning plate 5 cooperate to position the central rubber part on the front brake hose assembly of the car, and the diameter of the limiting guide port 46 is larger than the outer diameter of the guard spring.

[0029] Working process and principle: In the process of using this invention, the front brake hose with the pre-installed middle rubber component is first inserted through the upper guide cover 43 so that the middle rubber component is directly placed on the prepositioning plate 5. Then, the cylinder 41 is started so that its output end drives the opening positioning plate 44 to close with the prepositioning plate 5. The front brake hose can be vertically erected in the mounting frame 2 through the middle rubber component.

[0030] Then, the drive motor 301 and the external heat pump are started. The output end of the drive motor 301 drives the long gear 304 and the lead screw 42 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the long gear 304 will drive the rotating part 302 to rotate through the gear ring 305. As the upper end surface of the rotating part 302 abuts against the roller 311 from the low point to the high point, it will drive the lifting rod 308 to rise. Under the joint action of the mounting base 310 and the hinge frame 312, the nozzle 303 flips downward. The high temperature and high pressure jet sprayed from its port is directed from the horizontal to the lower outer surface of the brake hose, and gradually transitions to being directed into the upper port of the air collection hood 307. While cleaning the outer surface, it also further softens the brake hose. The high pressure jet diffuses and is ejected from its upper port along the inner wall of the air collection hood 307. While squeezing the softened brake hose to keep it in a vertical state, it also cleans the inner surface of the brake hose.

[0031] At this time, the guide cover 43 inserts the protective spring and the upper end cap onto the brake hose, and the lower end cap is inserted into the cap supply cavity 306. The rotation of the lead screw 42 drives the slider 45 to move upward along the mounting bracket 2. The limiting guide port 46 on the slider 45 straightens the protective spring and completes the vertical installation of the cap. After the processing is completed, the closed opening positioning plate 44 and the pre-positioning plate 5 are opened, and the front brake hose assembly of the car can be taken out.

[0032] Based on the above, the present invention provides a cleaning cap mechanism 3 and a positioning spring mechanism 4 on the mounting frame 2. The output end of the drive motor 301 drives the rotating part 302 to rotate. Under the joint action of the mounting base 310 and the hinge frame 312, the nozzle 303 flips downward. The high temperature and high pressure jet ejected from its port is directed horizontally towards the lower outer surface of the brake hose, and gradually transitions to being directed towards the upper port of the air collection hood 307. While cleaning the outer surface, it also further softens the brake hose. The high pressure jet diffuses and is ejected from its upper port along the inner wall of the air collection hood 307. While squeezing the softened brake hose to keep it in a vertical state, it also cleans the inner surface of the brake hose, avoiding the situation of the cap being crooked or not properly fitted.

[0033] The output end of the cylinder 41 drives the opening positioning plate 44 to close with the pre-positioning plate 5. The front brake hose can be vertically mounted in the mounting frame 2 through the middle rubber part. The guide cover 43 puts the protective spring and the upper end cap on the brake hose, and puts the lower end cap in the cap supply cavity 306. The rotation of the screw 42 drives the slider 45 to move upward along the mounting frame 2. The limiting guide port 46 on the slider 45 straightens the protective spring and completes the vertical mounting of the cap, avoiding the frequent wear of the protruding rubber part caused by the flat processing method.

[0034] As is known from common technical knowledge, this invention can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this invention or its equivalents are included in this invention.
