Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive product processing equipment technology, specifically to an automatic crimping device for automotive clutch hoses. Background Technology

[0002] Clutch hoses are crucial safety components in automotive braking systems, transmitting braking pressure. Improving the reliability and durability of clutch hoses is essential for ensuring personal safety. Clutch hose assemblies are composed of hydraulic hoses, connector sleeves, and various types of fittings, assembled through crimping. Currently, clutch hose assembly production relies entirely on manual labor, with steps including hose cutting, connector sleeve core pre-assembly, and crimping.

[0003] However, after long-term use, the existing technology still has some drawbacks, such as: First, because the automotive clutch hose is relatively soft, when the pre-assembled semi-finished product is crimped by hand, there is a downward bend in the hose interface section, which causes the clutch hose interface section to bend and deform in the joint sleeve of the crimping section, thus affecting the flow of fluid in the circulation pipeline; Second, manual operation usually involves passing the clutch hose through the crimping equipment and completing the double-sided crimping operation twice. Not only is it difficult to guarantee the crimping accuracy, but the insertion and removal process can easily cause forced deformation of the relatively complex curved pipeline, making it difficult to repair. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic crimping device for automotive clutch hoses to solve the aforementioned defects caused by the prior art.

[0005] An automatic crimping device for automotive clutch hoses includes a processing platform, positioning seats, a crimping mechanism, and a support mechanism. There are two positioning seats, both fixed to the processing platform. The processing platform has a sealing assembly port and an air pump is also installed on the processing platform. The crimping mechanism is installed on the processing platform and is used to crimp both ends of the automotive clutch hose simultaneously. The support mechanism is installed on the processing platform and is used to ensure that the interface section and the crimping section of the automotive clutch hose are coaxial.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a cylinder, an adjusting mounting base, and a flipping mounting base. The cylinder is movably mounted on the processing platform, and an opening adjusting plate is movably mounted on the output end of the cylinder. There are two adjusting mounting bases, each adjustablely mounted on the processing platform. The flipping mounting base is hinged to the adjusting mounting base via a connecting block. The connecting block and the opening adjusting plate are adjustablely connected via bolts. Both the adjusting mounting base and the flipping mounting base are variable-diameter cavity structures, and both ends can be detachably mounted with a sealing plate. Several evenly distributed telescopic clamping heads are arranged circumferentially inside the adjusting mounting base and the flipping mounting base, and several of the telescopic clamping heads are also elastically mounted on the sealing plate.

[0007] Preferably, the top support mechanism includes a pre-assembly seat, a lifting plate, and a curved support plate. The pre-assembly seat is fixedly mounted on the processing platform. The lifting plate is slidably mounted on the pre-assembly seat. The lower end of the opening adjustment plate is slidably connected to the lifting plate via a sliding plate. There are two curved support plates, symmetrically arranged in the pre-assembly seat. The lower ends of the two curved support plates are fixed with connecting rods. The lower ends of the connecting rods pass through the pre-assembly seat and are connected to the lifting plate. A spring is sleeved on the connecting rod between the pre-assembly seat and the lifting plate.

[0008] Preferably, when the output end of the cylinder is fully extended, the curved support plate supports the automotive clutch hose in a straight state.

[0009] Preferably, when the adjusting mounting base and the flip mounting base are engaged, the plurality of telescopic buckle heads converge toward the center; when the adjusting mounting base and the flip mounting base are disengaged, the plurality of telescopic buckle heads disperse radially.

[0010] Preferably, the pre-installed seat mates with the vehicle clutch hose, and the top of the pre-installed seat is lower than the top of the adjusting mounting seat.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing assembly port and the air pump are respectively matched with the two ends of the automotive clutch hose.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are: By setting a clamping mechanism and a top support mechanism on the processing platform, the output end of the cylinder drives two flip mounting seats to flip downwards simultaneously via the opening adjustment plate and connecting block, completing the clamping with the corresponding adjustment mounting seat. At the same time, during this flipping and clamping process, the air pump is activated to supply air to pressurize the sealed clutch hose assembly. The opening adjustment plate also drives the lifting plate to move upwards via the sliding plate, and then pushes the curved edge support plate upwards synchronously via the spring. Under the combined action of the curved edge support plate and the air pressure inside the hose, the clutch hose interface section and the clamping section are ensured to be coaxial, ensuring clamping accuracy and preventing the flow of fluid in the circulation pipeline from being affected.

[0013] When the adjusting mounting seats and flip mounting seats on both sides are engaged, several telescopic clamping heads converge toward the center. Under the pressure of the multiple circumferentially converging telescopic clamping heads on the upper and lower sides, the connector sleeves on both sides can simultaneously clamp onto both ends of the clutch hose, completing a quick and automatic clamping process. Furthermore, the loading and unloading of the clutch hose is very convenient through the flipping clamping and disengaging method, avoiding forced deformation of the complex curved pipeline and ensuring product quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic crimping device for automotive clutch hoses includes a processing platform 1, positioning seats 2, crimping mechanism 3, and a top support mechanism 4. There are two positioning seats 2, both of which are fixed on the processing platform 1. The processing platform 1 has a sealing assembly port 5 and an air pump 6 is also installed on the processing platform 1. The crimping mechanism 3 is installed on the processing platform 1 and is used to crimp both ends of the automotive clutch hose simultaneously. The top support mechanism 4 is installed on the processing platform 1 and is used to ensure that the interface section and the crimping section of the automotive clutch hose are coaxial.

[0021] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a cylinder 31, an adjusting mounting base 32, and a flip mounting base 33. The cylinder 31 is movably mounted on the processing platform 1, and an opening adjusting plate 34 is movably mounted on the output end of the cylinder 31. There are two adjusting mounting bases 32, which are respectively adjustable and mounted on the processing platform 1. The flip mounting base 33 is hinged to the adjusting mounting base 32 through a connecting block 35. The connecting block 35 and the opening adjusting plate 34 are adjustablely connected by bolts. Both the adjusting mounting base 32 and the flip mounting base 33 are variable diameter cavity structures, and both ends can be detachably mounted with a sealing plate 36. Several evenly distributed telescopic clamping heads 37 are arranged circumferentially inside the adjusting mounting base 32 and the flip mounting base 33. Several telescopic clamping heads 37 are also elastically arranged on the sealing plate 36.

[0022] It is worth mentioning that the top support mechanism 4 includes a pre-installation seat 41, a lifting plate 42, and a curved support plate 43. The pre-installation seat 41 is fixedly installed on the processing platform 1. The lifting plate 42 is slidably installed on the pre-installation seat 41. The lower end of the opening adjustment plate 34 is slidably connected to the lifting plate 42 through a sliding plate 44. There are two curved support plates 43, which are symmetrically arranged in the pre-installation seat 41. The lower ends of the two curved support plates 43 are fixed with connecting rods 45. The lower ends of the connecting rods 45 pass through the pre-installation seat 41 and are connected to the lifting plate 42. A spring 46 is sleeved on the connecting rod 45 between the pre-installation seat 41 and the lifting plate 42.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the output end of the cylinder 31 is fully extended, the curved support plate 43 supports the automotive clutch hose to keep it in a straight state.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the adjusting mounting base 32 and the flip mounting base 33 are engaged, a plurality of telescopic buckle heads 37 converge toward the center; when the adjusting mounting base 32 and the flip mounting base 33 are disengaged, a plurality of telescopic buckle heads 37 disperse radially toward each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pre-installed seat 41 is engaged with the automotive clutch hose, and the top of the pre-installed seat 41 is lower than the top of the adjusting mounting seat 32.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sealing assembly port 5 and the air pump 6 are respectively matched with the two ends of the automotive clutch hose.

[0027] Working process and principle: In the process of using this invention, the pre-assembled semi-finished product to be crimped is first placed on the positioning seat 2. Then, one end is vertically placed into the sealing assembly port 5, and the other end is horizontally placed into the air pump 6. At this time, the clutch hose in the middle section is directly placed on the pre-assembly seat 41 to complete the pre-positioning before crimping. Then, the bolts on the opening adjustment plate 34 are loosened and tightened, and the installation positions of the two adjustment mounting seats 32 on the processing platform 1 are adjusted according to the product model to be pre-assembled to ensure that the flip mounting seats 33 on both sides correspond to the two ends of the connector sleeve.

[0028] Immediately, the cylinder 31 is activated so that its output end drives the two flip mounting seats 33 to flip downwards simultaneously via the opening adjustment plate 34 and the connecting block 35, completing the engagement with the corresponding adjustment mounting seat 32. At the same time, during this flip engagement process, the air pump 6 is activated to supply air to the sealed clutch hose assembly for pressurization. The opening adjustment plate 34 also drives the lifting plate 42 to move upwards via the slide plate 44, and then pushes the curved support plate 43 upwards synchronously via the spring 46. Under the combined action of the curved support plate 43 and the air pressure inside the hose, the clutch hose interface section and the clamping section are ensured to be coaxial.

[0029] When the adjusting mounting seats 32 and the flip mounting seats 33 on both sides are engaged, several telescopic clamping heads 37 converge toward the center. Under the pressing action of the multiple circumferentially converged telescopic clamping heads 37 on the upper and lower sides, the connector sleeves on both sides can simultaneously clamp onto both ends of the clutch hose. Finally, the reverse start cylinder 31 returns its output end to reset, causing the adjusting mounting seats 32 and the flip mounting seats 33 to separate. The several telescopic clamping heads 37 disperse radially, and the clamped clutch hose assembly can be removed.

[0030] Based on the above, the present invention sets a clamping mechanism 3 and a top support mechanism 4 on the processing platform 1. The output end of the cylinder 31 drives the two flip mounting seats 33 to flip downwards simultaneously via the opening adjustment plate 34 and the connecting block 35, completing the clamping with the corresponding adjustment mounting seat 32. At the same time, during the flipping and clamping process, the air pump 6 is activated to supply air to the sealed clutch hose assembly for pressurization. The opening adjustment plate 34 also drives the lifting plate 42 to move upwards via the slide plate 44, and then pushes the curved edge support plate 43 to move upwards synchronously via the spring 46. Under the combined action of the curved edge support plate 43 and the air pressure inside the hose, the clutch hose interface section and the clamping section are ensured to be coaxial, ensuring the clamping accuracy and avoiding the flow of fluid in the circulation pipeline being affected.

[0031] When the adjusting mounting bases 32 and the flip mounting bases 33 on both sides are engaged, several telescopic clamping heads 37 converge toward the center. Under the pressing action of the multiple circumferentially converging telescopic clamping heads 37 on the upper and lower sides, the connector sleeves on both sides can simultaneously clamp onto both ends of the clutch hose, completing a quick and automatic clamping process. Furthermore, the loading and unloading of the clutch hose is very convenient through the flipping and clamping method, avoiding forced deformation of the complex curved pipeline and ensuring product quality.

[0032] 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.
