Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fin tube water immersion pressure testing machines, and in particular to a conveying device and a use method of a full-automatic fin tube water immersion pressure testing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of fin tubes, air tightness detection is a key step in the fin tube processing process to avoid leakage of the fin tubes. In most cases, the two ends of the tubes are blocked, air is ventilated into the tubes, and then the tubes are immersed in water to observe whether bubbles appear. In the prior art, only one tube can be tested at a time, resulting in low detection efficiency and inability to achieve batch detection.

[0003] A fin tube air tightness testing device with application number CN202322305612.9 closes both ends of the pipe fitting through a movable pressure test head and a fixed pressure test head, and then ventilates the pipe fitting through the fixed pressure test head. The pipe fitting is immersed below the water surface of a water tank to observe whether bubbles appear, and the air tightness of the fin tube can be judged. Therefore, the air tightness of multiple fin tubes can be tested at the same time, and batch testing of the air tightness of fin tubes can be realized to improve the testing efficiency.

[0004] In actual use, when testing the air tightness of the fin tube, it is necessary to provide an inflation head at both ends of the fin tube so that the air pressure can fill the gas into the interior of the fin tube through the inflation head, thereby testing the air tightness of the fin tube. When inflating the interior of the fin tube, it is necessary to seal the two ends of the fin tube. The existing seal is generally to seal the fin tube with a sealing gasket. The sealing gasket is in contact and friction with the fin tube for a long time, which can easily lead to a reduction in the sealing quality of the sealing gasket. Therefore, in the actual air tightness test, it is easy to have an erroneous air tightness judgment due to the failure of the sealing gasket.

[0017] The present invention provides a method for using the conveying device of the fully automatic fin tube immersion pressure testing machine as described above, and the specific steps of the method for using are:

[0018] S1: The pipes are placed in the storage bin in the feeding mechanism. The automatic lifting mechanism slowly lifts the storage bin. Under the action of gravity, the pipes slowly roll down and spread out. Then, they are lifted twice by the feeding lifting mechanism. The pipes are sent to the feeding and guiding mechanism one by one to prepare for the next step of discharging.

[0019] S2: Driven by the servo motor in the discharge mechanism, the tubes are placed on the hosting seat at equal intervals to achieve orderly arrangement of the tubes. Then the manipulator in the product handling mechanism grabs one row of tubes from the hosting seat at a time, and then puts them into the water testing mechanism, and then returns to grab the next row of tubes;

[0020] S3: The manipulator puts the pipe on the limit seat in the water test mechanism, and uses the deadweight of the pipe to apply pressure to the clamp, so that the clamp can achieve self-clamping and limiting of the pipe. Then, the left and right sets of tightening cylinders drive the sealing head to seal the end of the pipe. In this way, the pipe is restricted on the lifting frame, and the telescopic hydraulic cylinder drives the lifting frame to move downward, so that the pipe is immersed in the water test tank. High-pressure gas is filled into the pipe through the sealing head for pressure testing and leak detection. After maintaining the pressure for a certain period of time, the telescopic hydraulic cylinder is reset to drive the lifting frame to move upward. Then, the two sets of tightening cylinders drive the sealing head to reset, and the pipe is unlocked.

[0021] S4: The telescopic mechanism in the discharging mechanism extends the telescopic lever to the bottom of the pipe after the pressure test, and the turning mechanism turns the pipe onto the storage rack. Then the discharging lifting mechanism pushes the pipes one by one onto the discharging guide mechanism, and the pipes are transferred to the next process through the guide wheel.

[0022] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:

[0023] 1. The present invention utilizes a feeding mechanism to realize the orderly transmission of pipes, and a discharging mechanism can place the pipes at equal intervals to realize the orderly arrangement of the pipes. Then, the manipulator in the product handling mechanism grabs a row of pipes from the discharging mechanism at a time, and then puts them into the water testing mechanism for pressure testing, and then returns to grab the next row of pipes. The discharging mechanism moves to transmit the pipes after the pressure test to the next process, which can realize the orderly arrangement and placement of the pipes. At the same time, the water testing mechanism is used to seal and limit the pipes, thereby improving the safety of the pipes during pressure testing.

[0024] 2. In the present invention, after the tube is clamped and limited by the limit seat and the clamp, the tightening cylinder drives the sealing head to be sealed on the end of the tube to achieve sealing. That is, the end of the tube is sleeved on the outer wall of the limit ring. When gas is introduced into the tube through the inflation channel, the gas pressure can act on the limit ring, so that the limit ring is squeezed on the inner wall of the end of the tube. The limit ring can achieve initial sealing, and the end of the tube can be received in the annular sealing groove, and the sealing ring group can be used to achieve secondary sealing of the end of the tube, which greatly improves the sealing effect of the end of the tube and prevents poor air tightness due to damage of the sealing gasket, which in turn causes misjudgment of air tightness detection.

[0025] 3. In the process of the lifting frame of the present invention moving down to the water testing tank, the pressure plate continuously squeezes the pressure air bag, so that the gas in the pressure air bag will be introduced into the pushing member through the air guide tube, causing the pushing member to expand and push the arc plate to extend out of the arc channel, and then the side wall of the pipe is tightened and limited by the arc plate. When the gas pressure inside the pushing member reaches the threshold of the gas pressure valve, the gas in the pressure air bag will be introduced into the gas storage tank by the pushing member through the air pipe, which can cause the sealing ring group to expand and tightly squeeze on the outer wall of the pipe end, thereby improving the sealing performance of the pipe end.

Example 2

[0050] This embodiment discloses Figures 1 to 17 The conveying device of a fully automatic fin tube immersion pressure testing machine shown in the figure includes the technical features disclosed in Example 1, and the limit seat 510 is an arc-shaped seat, and the limit seat 510 has a built-in clamp 511. The clamp 511 includes a storage groove 515 opened inside the limit seat 510, and arc-shaped channels 516 that pass through the top of the limit seat 510 are opened on both sides of the storage groove 515, and a guide groove 517 that passes through upward is opened in the middle of the top of the storage groove 515.

[0051] See also Fig.17 The clamp 511 also includes a slide plate 523 slidably assembled inside the storage groove 515, a pressure piece 518 is arranged at the bottom of the slide plate 523, a pushing piece 519 integrally formed with the pressure piece 518 is installed in the arc channel 516, a guide plate 520 slidably assembled in the guide groove 517 is fixed on the top of the slide plate 523, the guide plate 520 passes through the guide groove 517 and is fixedly assembled with an arc plate 521, a clamping plate 522 is slidably assembled in the arc channel 516, and the bottom end of the clamping plate 522 is fixed to the top of the pushing piece 519.

[0052] In actual use, when the tube is placed on the limit seat 510, it will first generate an extrusion force on the arc plate 521, and then drive the arc plate 521 together with the guide plate 520 and the slide plate 523 to move downward, and squeeze the pressure piece 518. In this way, the internal gas of the pressure piece 518 will flow into the pushing piece 519, causing the pushing piece 519 to expand, and then the pushing piece 519 will push the clamping plate 522 out of the arc channel 516 in the arc channel 516, so that the arc plate 521 can position the tube, and the limit seat 510 can support the tube. When the two sets of clamping plates 522 extend out of the arc channel 516, they can automatically clamp and press on the outer wall of the tube, and can achieve an automatic clamping and limiting effect.

[0053] See also Fig.16A pressure groove 513 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 59, and a pressure plate 512 is slidably installed in the pressure groove 513. A pressure air bag 514 is installed between the pressure plate 512 and the pressure groove 513. When the telescopic hydraulic cylinder 54 drives the lifting frame 55 to move down to the inside of the water testing tank 52, the pressure plate 512 will first contact the bottom of the water testing tank 52, and then as the lifting frame 55 continues to move downward, the pressure plate 512 will shrink into the pressure groove 513 and will continue to squeeze the pressure air bag 514.

[0054] See also Fig.14 A limit ring 581 is fixed in the sealing head 58, an air blowing channel 582 is provided in the sealing head 58, an annular sealing groove 583 is provided on the outer side of the limit ring 581, a sealing ring group 584 is integrally formed on the outer side of the inner wall of the annular sealing groove 583, and an air storage groove 585 matching the sealing ring group 584 is provided in the sealing head 58. After the pipe passes through the limit seat 510 and the clamp 511, the tightening cylinder 57 drives the sealing head 58 to be encapsulated in the end of the pipe to achieve sealing treatment, that is, the end of the pipe is sleeved on the limit seat 510 and the clamp 511. On the outer wall of the ring 581, when gas is introduced into the interior of the tube through the inflation channel 582, the gas pressure can act on the limit ring 581, so that the limit ring 581 is squeezed on the inner wall of the tube end, and a preliminary seal can be achieved through the limit ring 581. The tube end can be received in the annular sealing groove 583, and the sealing ring group 584 is cooperated to achieve secondary sealing of the tube end, which greatly improves the sealing effect of the tube end and prevents poor air tightness due to damage of the sealing gasket, thereby causing misjudgment of the air tightness detection.

[0055] The pressure air bag 514 is connected to the pressure piece 518 through an air duct. The pressure piece 518 and the pushing piece 519 are both air bags. The pressure piece 518 and the pushing piece 519 are connected. The pressure piece 518 is connected to the air storage tank 585 through an air supply pipe, and a gas pressure valve is fixedly installed on the air supply pipe.

[0056] When the lifting frame 55 moves down to the water testing tank 52, the pressure plate 512 continuously squeezes the pressure air bag 514, so that the gas in the pressure air bag 514 will be introduced into the pusher 519 through the air guide tube, causing the pusher 519 to expand and push the arc plate 521 to extend out from the arc channel 516, and then the side wall of the pipe is tightened and limited by the arc plate 521. When the gas pressure inside the pusher 519 reaches the threshold of the gas pressure valve, the gas in the pressure air bag 514 will be introduced into the gas storage tank 585 by the pusher 519 through the air pipe, which can cause the sealing ring group 584 to expand and tightly squeeze on the outer wall of the pipe end, thereby improving the sealing performance of the pipe end.

[0057] After the tube is packaged, the lifting frame 55 and the tube are immersed in the water test tank 52. After gas is input into the tube, a pressure test is performed to detect the sealing performance of the tube.

[0058] After the air tightness test of the pipe is completed, the telescopic hydraulic cylinder 54 is reset to drive the lifting frame 55 to move out of the water testing tank 52. During the upward movement of the lifting frame 55, the pressure air bag 514 is gradually reset, so that the gas in the gas storage tank 585 will flow back to the pressure air bag 514 through the gas transmission pipe, thereby relieving the squeezing force of the sealing ring group 584 on the end of the pipe. When the lifting frame 55 is reset, the gas in the pushing member 519 will also flow back to the pressure air bag 514 through the air guide pipe, so that the squeezing force of the clamping plate 522 on the outer wall of the pipe by the pushing member 519 will also decrease with the reflux of the gas. After the tightening cylinder 57 drives the sealing head 58 to reset, the manipulator on the product handling mechanism 40 takes the pressure-tested pipe out of the limit seat 510 and transports it to the discharging mechanism 60 for conveying operation.

[0059] It is worth mentioning that in the process of removing the pressure-tested pipe from the limit seat 510 by the manipulator, the dead weight of the pipe causes the pressure-bearing member 518 to be compressed, and the clamping plate 522 will continue to apply pressure on the outer wall of the pipe through the push of the pushing member 519. At this time, the manipulator drives the pipe upward and continuously squeezes the two sets of clamping plates 522, causing the clamping plates 522 to squeeze the pushing member 519 and retract into the arc-shaped channel 516, so that the pipe can be removed from the limit seat 510. Subsequently, the pressure-bearing member 518 is reset, and the arc plate 521 is reset by the slide plate 523 and the guide plate 520. At the same time, the clamping plate 522 will also retract into the arc-shaped channel 516 due to the reset of the pressure-bearing member 518, so as to facilitate the next step of the pressure test clamping operation. Example 3

[0060] This embodiment discloses a method for using the conveying device of the fully automatic fin tube immersion pressure testing machine as described in Example 2. The specific steps of the method are as follows:

[0061] S1: The pipes are placed in the storage bin 22 in the feeding mechanism 20, and the automatic lifting mechanism 23 slowly lifts the storage bin 22. Under the action of gravity, the pipes slowly roll down and spread out, and then are lifted twice by the feeding lifting mechanism 24. The pipes are sent to the feeding and guiding mechanism 25 one by one to transfer the pipes, preparing for the next step of discharging;

[0062] S2: Driven by the servo motor 32 in the discharging mechanism 30, the tubes are placed on the hosting seat 33 at equal intervals to achieve orderly arrangement of the tubes. Then, the manipulator in the product handling mechanism 40 grabs a row of tubes from the hosting seat 33 at a time, and then puts them into the water testing mechanism 50, and then returns to grab the next row of tubes.

[0063] S3: The manipulator puts the pipe on the limit seat 510 in the water testing mechanism 50, and uses the deadweight of the pipe to apply pressure to the clamp 511, so that the clamp 511 can realize the self-clamping limit of the pipe. Then, the left and right two sets of tightening cylinders 57 are actuated to drive the sealing head 58 to seal the end of the pipe.
