Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of shock absorbers, and in particular to a shock absorber compression machine and compression method. Background Technology

[0002] Due to manufacturing processes and structural factors, shock absorbers sometimes retain residual gas inside the casing that is difficult to expel. This gas can affect the normal use of the product. Therefore, the industry typically introduces a manual compression process to manually compress the shock absorbers. However, manual compression requires more manpower, involving clamping and manually pressing each product, making the entire process labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a shock absorber compression machine and compression method, which solves the problem that manual compression of shock absorbers is labor-intensive and affects compression efficiency.

[0004] On the one hand, this application provides a shock absorber compression machine, including a mounting frame, a carrier plate on the frame, a plurality of vertical plates on the carrier plate, a compression mechanism on one side of the vertical plates, and a shock absorber on the compression mechanism;

[0005] The compression mechanism includes a floating cover cylinder and a piston rod cylinder. The piston rod cylinder compresses the piston end of the shock absorber by controlling the piston rod. The compression rod connected to the floating cover cylinder is aligned with the exhaust end of the shock absorber.

[0006] The piston end is connected to the internal air passage of the exhaust end. The piston rod is pulled to discharge the residual gas to the exhaust end, and the extrusion rod compresses the exhaust gas at the exhaust end.

[0007] Specifically, the pressure-pulling mechanism further includes a movable plate and a fixed plate and a fixed block mounted on the movable plate. The floating cover cylinder and the piston rod cylinder are fixedly mounted on the fixed plate, and the shock absorber is disposed on the fixed block.

[0008] Specifically, a quick clamp is also provided on the movable plate, which fixes the shock absorber to the fixed block.

[0009] Specifically, the floating cover cylinder and the piston rod cylinder are arranged in parallel, and a clamping cylinder is cascaded on the piston rod cylinder. The clamping cylinder and the piston rod cylinder are located on both sides of the fixed plate, respectively.

[0010] The clamping part of the clamping cylinder clamps one end of the piston rod, and the other end of the piston rod is installed into the piston end of the shock absorber.

[0011] Specifically, the clamping part of the clamping cylinder includes two constricted clamping blocks with toothed grooves. One end of the piston rod bites into the toothed grooves and performs a pulling action.

[0012] Specifically, the clamping block is connected to the telescopic end of the piston rod cylinder, and the compression stroke is controlled by the piston rod cylinder.

[0013] Specifically, a turntable is provided on the vertical plate, and the turntable is connected to the movable plate;

[0014] A speed reducer is also provided on the carrier plate, and the speed reducer is connected to the turntable belt.

[0015] Specifically, a rotating shaft is provided through the vertical plate, and a fixed plate is installed on the movable plate;

[0016] The turntable and the fixed plate are respectively installed at both ends of the rotating shaft, and the fixed plate and the turntable are respectively located on both sides of the vertical plate.

[0017] On the other hand, this application provides a method for pulling out shock absorbers using a shock absorber puller, the method comprising:

[0018] Return the movable plate of the shock absorber puller to its initial position. In the initial state, the piston end and exhaust end of the shock absorber are tilted downwards, and the exhaust end is located above the piston end.

[0019] Start the piston rod cylinder to control the piston rod to press in or pull out of the piston end. The extrusion rod connected to the floating cover cylinder is aligned with but does not contact the exhaust end. Start the motor and reducer. By rotating the turntable and the movable plate, the shock absorber is rotated from the downward port to the upward tilt of the port, controlling the piston rod to pull out of the piston end. At this time, the movable plate is in the first working position.

[0020] Rotate the movable plate in the opposite direction to restore the shock absorber from its upward tilt at the port to its downward tilt at the port, and press the piston rod into or pull out the piston end; at this time, the movable plate is in the initial working position.

[0021] Rotate the movable plate in the opposite direction again to move the shock absorber from the initial position to the first position, and press the piston rod into or pull out the piston end;

[0022] Continue rotating the movable plate to press the piston rod into or out of the piston end, and control the shock absorber to rotate from tilting upwards from the port to vertically upwards; at this time, the movable plate is in the second working position;

[0023] The movable plate is rotated in the opposite direction to the initial position to complete one rotation cycle;

[0024] The set target number of rotation cycles are executed repeatedly to activate the floating cover cylinder and control the extrusion rod to expel the exhaust end, thus emptying the residual gas in the shock absorber.

[0025] Specifically, the piston end and exhaust end in the initial position are tilted downwards, forming an angle of 72° with the vertical direction;

[0026] The movable plate rotates 72° from the original station to the first station, with the piston end and exhaust end tilted upwards, forming an angle of 36° with the vertical direction;

[0027] The movable plate rotates 36° from the first station to the second station, with the piston end and exhaust end tilted vertically upwards.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application embodiment include at least the following: the structure controls the rotation speed through a motor and a reducer, drives the movable plate to rotate through a turntable, and simultaneously activates the piston rod cylinder to continuously perform the compression operation. The compression operation and centrifugal force can concentrate and throw the gas in the shock absorber's air passage to the exhaust end, and then activate the floating cover cylinder to vent the residual gas at the exhaust end. This device can operate synchronously at multiple stations, and the quick clamp 7 and clamping cylinder on the movable plate enable rapid replacement, improving the assembly and replacement efficiency after compression.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] In this article, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the shock absorber compression machine provided in an embodiment of this application. The structure includes a mounting frame 1, a transverse carrier plate 2 mounted on the frame 1, and several vertical plates 3 mounted on the carrier plate 2. Each vertical plate 3 corresponds to a compression mechanism 4, and the compression mechanism 4 is located on one side of the vertical plate 3. The shock absorber 5 is mounted on the compression mechanism 4. In some embodiments, the frame 1 can be made larger, and multiple sets of vertical plates 3 can be used for simultaneous compression, such as... Figure 1 Dual-station operation is used.

[0041] The compression mechanism 4 includes a floating cover cylinder 41 and a piston rod cylinder 42. The piston rod cylinder 42 is connected to a piston rod 49 (inserted into the shock absorber 5). By controlling the piston rod 49, the piston end 52 of the shock absorber 5 is compressed. The compression rod 48 connected to the floating cover cylinder 41 is aligned with the exhaust end 51 of the shock absorber 5.

[0042] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The piston rod 5 includes two parts: a piston end 52 and an exhaust end 51. It has a connected air passage inside. The function of the piston rod 49 is to discharge the residual gas to the exhaust end 51 by pressing (including squeezing the residual gas at the piston end 52 to the exhaust end 51). Finally, the exhaust end 51 is squeezed by the squeeze rod 48, thereby emptying the residual gas in the internal air passage (the exhaust end 51 has an exhaust hole at the port, and the air is discharged by squeezing).

[0043] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the compression mechanism 4. The compression mechanism 4 also includes a movable plate 44 and a fixed plate 45 and a fixed block 46 mounted on the movable plate 44. The floating cover cylinder 41 and the piston rod cylinder 42 are fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 45, while the shock absorber 5 is mounted on the fixed block 46. Specifically, the floating cover cylinder 41 and the piston rod cylinder 42 are arranged parallel to each other on the movable plate 44. Two grooves are formed in the fixed block 46, and the piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51 are engaged in the grooves. The connection between the piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51 can be fixedly mounted to the movable plate 44 to improve stability.

[0044] To improve exhaust and assembly efficiency, a quick clamp 47 can also be provided on the movable plate 44. The quick clamp 47 can clamp the piston end 52 or the exhaust end 51 and fix the shock absorber 5 into the groove on the fixing block 46.

[0045] In some embodiments, for quick clamping and replacement, the piston rod is installed in the piston end 52 of the shock absorber 5. Therefore, the movable rod of the piston rod cylinder 42 does not directly contact the shock absorber 5. A clamping cylinder 43 is cascaded onto the piston rod cylinder 42, allowing the movable rod (telescopic end) of the piston rod cylinder 42 to be installed onto the clamping cylinder 43. The clamping part of the clamping cylinder 43 clamps one end of the piston rod 49, and the other end of the piston rod 49 is installed in the piston end 52 of the shock absorber 5. This structure facilitates assembly; the cooperation between the quick clamp 47 and the clamping cylinder 43 facilitates assembly and improves extraction efficiency.

[0046] Figure 7 These are detailed images of the clamping cylinder. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The enlarged view at point A shows that the clamping cylinder 43 has a clamping part inside, which includes two constricted clamping blocks 431. The clamping blocks 431 have toothed grooves 432. One end of the piston rod 49 is gripped by the toothed grooves 432 of the upper and lower clamping blocks 431 and performs a pressing action. After the action is completed, they automatically separate to achieve quick replacement.

[0047] Figure 5 This is an installation diagram of the vertical plate and the speed reducer. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the turntable and the movable plate. A turntable 61 is mounted on the vertical plate 3, and the turntable 61 is connected to the movable plate 44. A reducer 6 is also mounted on the carrier plate 2, and the reducer 6 is connected to the turntable 61 via a belt. A rotating shaft 62 is also mounted on the vertical plate 3, and a fixed plate 63 is mounted on the movable plate 44. The turntable 61 and the fixed plate 63 are respectively mounted at both ends of the rotating shaft 62, and the fixed plate 63 and the turntable 61 are located on opposite sides of the vertical plate 3. The rotating shaft 62 drives the movable plate 44 to rotate.

[0048] Working principle: The starting motor and reducer 6 drive the movable plate 44 to rotate via the turntable 61. Simultaneously, the rotation activates the piston rod cylinder 42 to continuously perform a pressure-pulling operation. This pressure-pulling operation and centrifugal force concentrate the gas in the shock absorber 5's air passage and throw it to the exhaust end 51. Then, the floating cover cylinder 41 is activated to vent the residual gas from the exhaust end 51. This device can operate synchronously at multiple stations, and the quick-clamp 7 and clamping cylinder 43 on the movable plate 44 enable rapid replacement, improving the assembly and replacement efficiency after pressure-pulling.

[0049] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, to facilitate control of the device's operation, an electrical box 7 can be installed at the bottom of the carrier plate 2 to control the electrical functions of the entire device. An emergency stop control box or control switch 8 is also installed on the carrier plate 2 for quick replacement after the pressure extraction process is completed, or for emergency stop in case of a malfunction.

[0050] This application also provides a method for applying pressure with a shock absorber pressure extractor, which is based on the shock absorber pressure extractor described above and specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] A. Return the movable plate 44 of the shock absorber puller to the initial position. In the initial state, the piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51 of the shock absorber 5 are tilted downwards, and the exhaust end 51 is located above the piston end 52.

[0052] The piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51 are tilted downwards to allow air to escape. When the opening is downwards, the gas naturally accumulates at the top, which is the connection between the piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51. This helps to compress the gas to the exhaust end 51 during compression. In some embodiments, the piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51 in the initial position can be tilted downwards at an angle of 72° with the vertical direction, i.e., an angle of 18° with the horizontal direction.

[0053] B. Start the piston rod cylinder 42, and control the piston rod 49 to press in or pull out the piston end 52. The extrusion rod 48 connected to the floating cover cylinder 41 is aligned with but does not contact the exhaust end 51. Start the motor and reducer 6, and rotate the turntable 61 and the movable plate 44 to rotate the shock absorber 5 from the port downward to the port tilted upward, and control the piston rod 49 to pull out the piston end 52. At this time, the movable plate 44 is in the first working position.

[0054] During the compression stage, the floating cover cylinder 41 is not activated, and the compression rod 48 is a certain distance from the exhaust end 51. This process can be clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, mainly rotating the shock absorber 5 from the port downward to the port tilted upward, which facilitates the entry of residual gas into the exhaust end 51. In some embodiments, the movable plate 44 can be rotated 72° from the original position to the first position, with the piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51 tilted upward, forming an inclination angle of 36° with the vertical direction.

[0055] C. Rotate the movable plate 44 in the opposite direction to restore the shock absorber 5 from the port tilting upward to the port tilting downward, and press the piston rod 49 into or pull out the piston end 52; at this time, the movable plate 44 is in the initial working position.

[0056] D. Rotate the movable plate 44 in the opposite direction again to rotate the shock absorber 5 from the initial position to the first position, and press the piston rod 49 into or pull out the piston end 52.

[0057] E. Continue to rotate the movable plate 44 to press the piston rod 49 into the piston end 52, and control the shock absorber 5 to rotate from the port tilting upward to vertical upward; at this time, the movable plate 44 is in the second working position;

[0058] In this step, the movable plate 44 rotates 36° from the first station to the second station, and the piston end 52 and the exhaust end 51 tilt vertically upward. This vertical upward tilt allows the gas to be vented to the port of the piston end 52.

[0059] F, rotate the movable plate 44 in the opposite direction to the initial position to complete one rotation cycle;

[0060] G, cyclically executes the set target number of rotation cycles, starts the floating cover cylinder 41, and controls the extrusion rod 48 to extrude the exhaust end 51, emptying the residual gas in the shock absorber 5.

[0061] At the end of the last cycle, the exhaust end 51 is vertically upward. Because a movable plug is provided at the exhaust end 51, the floating cover cylinder 41 is activated and the squeeze rod 48 is controlled to squeeze the floating piston, which can completely empty the gas in the air passage.

[0062] In summary, this solution, combined with the structure of the shock absorber compression machine, controls the synchronous execution of multi-station shock absorbers. The shock absorber 5 is set with its port facing downwards for compression, and the movable plate 44 is rotated to gradually adjust the port to face upwards, which helps to gather the gas to the exhaust end 51. Then, the gas is vented by squeezing the floating piston. This solution replaces manual compression operation and greatly improves the compression efficiency of the shock absorber.
