Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipeline assembly, and particularly to an automatic punching and wire threading device and a method for automatically punching and wire threading components. Background Art

[0002] Traditional pipeline laying and installation methods have many problems: In the prior art, the laying and installation of pipelines are usually manually operated by workers, which is not only costly but also requires a high degree of technical proficiency. In addition, the safety of workers is also a major issue. Workers manually complete operations such as punching and screwing at high altitudes or in dangerous areas, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors due to frequent tool switching and manual operations, affecting the construction quality and their own safety. Therefore, developing an integrated device that can automatically complete punching and screwing operations, as well as a method for automatically punching and wire threading components, is of great significance for improving installation efficiency and ensuring operation safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Embodiments of the present invention provide an automatic punching and wire threading device and a method for automatically punching and wire threading components to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0004] Embodiments of the present invention adopt the following technical solutions: An automatic punching and wire threading device includes: an upper bracket; a lower bracket installed on the upper bracket through a first linear sliding module to enable the lower bracket to move horizontally relative to the upper bracket; a feeding and clamping module driven by power to move up and down on the lower bracket, and the clamping end of the feeding and clamping module is used to clamp and position a bracket and an expansion bolt to be installed on the positioning bracket; a wire threading module disposed on the lower bracket, and having at least one set of nut sleeves driven by power to rotate, and the nut sleeves can slide along their axial directions, and the sliding of the nut sleeves enables them to be sleeved on the expansion bolts; a punching module disposed on the lower bracket, and having at least one set of electric drills driven by power to move along their axial directions, the axial direction of the electric drills is the same as the axial direction of the nut sleeves, and the axial direction of the electric drills is perpendicularly distributed to the sliding direction of the first linear sliding module.

[0005] Preferably, the feeding and clamping module further includes a second linear sliding module, and the clamping end is installed at the execution end of the second linear sliding module to enable the clamping end to move, so that the expansion bolt located on the clamping end is aligned with the nut sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, the feeding and clamping module further includes a third linear sliding module installed on the lower bracket for driving the clamping end to move up and down.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping end is configured as two sets of jaw cylinders longitudinally distributed. Two clamping plates are oppositely installed at the jaw driving end of each jaw cylinder. Arc-shaped grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the two clamping plates to form a concentric positioning hole when the jaw cylinder is in the operating position. Two sets of expansion bolts are provided and are rotatably connected to the positioning bracket. When the two jaw cylinders are in the operating position, the two expansion bolts are clamped in the positioning holes of the two jaw cylinders.

[0008] Preferably, a motor bracket and a rotary drive source located on the motor bracket are provided at each nut sleeve. The rotating end of the rotary drive source is coaxially and fixedly connected to the nut sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the wire screwing module further has a fourth linear sliding module installed on the lower bracket. A carrier plate is installed at the execution end of the fourth linear sliding module. The motor bracket is installed on the carrier plate and is driven by the fourth linear sliding module to drive the nut sleeve to move along its axis.

[0010] Preferably, the drilling module includes a fifth linear sliding module installed on the lower bracket. At least one set of electric drills is installed at the execution end of the fifth linear sliding module to enable the electric drills to move along their axes.

[0011] Preferably, the upper bracket is suspended and walks on the member to be drilled and wired through a walking wheel assembly.

[0012] Preferably, the upper bracket is configured as an arched structure. The walking wheel assembly includes a driving wheel rotatably installed on the inner top wall of the arched structure of the upper bracket and two sets of supporting wheels respectively rotatably installed on the two side walls of the arched structure of the upper bracket. The driving wheel is driven to rotate by a power module. When the upper bracket is installed on the member, the driving wheel rolls against the top of the wall to drive the upper bracket to move along the direction of the member. The two sets of supporting wheels respectively roll against the two side walls of the member, and the lower bracket is located outside the member.

[0013] An automatic drilling and wire threading method for a member includes the following steps:

[0014] S1: Self-drive and walk on the member through a bracket with a suspended walking function, and move to a preset drilling and wire threading position;

[0015] S2: The clamping end on the bracket moves to the top of the member. The operator places the positioning bracket to be installed and the expansion bolts on the positioning bracket at the clamping end, and the clamping end clamps and positions the expansion bolts.

[0016] S3: Move to the drilling position through the drilling module on the bracket, perform drilling on the member to form a pre-installed hole position, and at the same time, detect and adjust the depth of the pre-installed hole position in real time through a sensor.

[0017] S4: The expansion bolt faces the pre-installed hole position through the movement of the clamping end, and the nut sleeve moves and is sleeved on the expansion bolt. At the same time, the clamping end unlocks the clamping of the expansion bolt;

[0018] S5: The nut sleeve is driven to rotate by power and moves axially at a constant speed to drive the expansion bolt into the pre-installed hole position, so as to fixedly assemble the positioning bracket on the surface of the component.

[0019] The above at least one technical solution adopted in the embodiment of the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0020] First, such a layout design of the drilling module enables the drilling module and the wire spinning module to form a certain cooperative relationship in terms of spatial position and working sequence. Coupled with the ability of the lower bracket to move horizontally relative to the upper bracket under the action of the first linear sliding module, the drilling and wire spinning operations can be sequentially completed according to the preset process. The two key installation actions that were originally completed manually in separate steps and with different tools are integrated and realized uniformly in the automated device. Through the internal automated process control of the device, the complexity of manual operation is significantly reduced, the overall installation efficiency is improved, and the mistakes and low efficiency problems that may be caused by frequent manual tool switching and manual operation are avoided.

[0021] Second, the design of the loading and clamping module that can move up and down allows manual material placement operations to be carried out at relatively safe and convenient positions, avoiding the risks of direct operation at high places or in dangerous areas.

Detailed implementation manners

[0032] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manners, structures, features and their effects of the present invention as follows.

[0033] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic drilling and threading device, including an upper bracket 11, a lower bracket 12, a feeding and clamping module 3, a threading module 5 and a drilling module 6.

[0035] The lower bracket 12 is installed on the upper bracket 11 through the first linear sliding module 2 to realize the lateral movement of the lower bracket 12 relative to the upper bracket 11; the feeding and clamping module 3 is driven by power to move up and down on the lower bracket 12, and the clamping end of the feeding and clamping module 3 is used to clamp the positioning bracket 4 and the expansion bolt 41 to be installed on the positioning bracket 4; the operator can conveniently clamp and position the pipeline positioning bracket 4 and the expansion bolt 41 to be installed on the bracket. This design of the feeding and clamping module 3 that can move up and down allows manual material placement operations at relatively safe and convenient positions (for example, in actual work, applied to the protective wall body (i.e., component) of a bridge. The inner side of the protective wall is the bridge road. Thus, the operator can stand on the road inside the protective wall and at a relatively safe position to assemble the positioning bracket 4 and the expansion bolt 41 at the clamping end), avoiding the risk of direct operation at high places or dangerous areas. At the same time, the precise positioning ability of the clamping end ensures the accurate position of the components to be installed, laying a good foundation for subsequent automated operations such as drilling and threading, and effectively improving the coherence of the entire installation process.

[0036] In some practical applications, the feeding and clamping module 3 further includes a second linear sliding module 31, and the clamping end is installed at the execution end of the second linear sliding module 31 to move the clamping end, so that the expansion bolt 41 located on the clamping end is directly opposite to the nut sleeve 51. The second linear sliding module 31 ensures that the position where the expansion bolt 41 is located can be directly opposite to the nut sleeve 51 to ensure that the nut sleeve 51 can accurately sleeve on the expansion bolt 41. The feeding and clamping module 3 further includes a third linear sliding module 32 installed on the lower bracket 12 for driving the clamping end to lift (specifically, the second linear sliding module 31 is installed on the execution end of the third linear sliding module 32).

[0037] The screw spinning module 5 is arranged on the lower bracket 12, and it has at least one set of nut sleeves 51 driven by power to rotate, and the nut sleeve 51 can slide along its axial direction. Specifically, at each nut sleeve 51, there is a motor bracket 52 and a rotary drive source 53 located on the motor bracket 52. The rotating end of the rotary drive source 53 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the nut sleeve 51, so that the nut sleeve 51 can be driven to rotate by the operation of the rotary drive source 53. The screw spinning module 5 can also install a fourth linear sliding module 54 on the lower bracket 12. The execution end of the fourth linear sliding module 54 is installed with a carrier plate 55, and the motor bracket 52 is installed on the carrier plate 55, and the nut sleeve 51 is driven to move along its axial direction by the fourth linear sliding module 54. In actual operation, the nut sleeve 51 can slide axially to the position where it sleeves on the expansion bolt 41, and then the expansion bolt 41 is tightened by using the rotation function, realizing the automatic screw spinning operation, without manual screwing, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of screw installation.

[0038] The drilling module 6 is arranged on the lower bracket 12, and it has at least one set of electric drills 61 driven by power to move along its axial direction. The axial direction of the electric drill 61 is consistent with the axial direction of the nut sleeve 51, and the axial direction of the electric drill 61 is perpendicularly distributed to the sliding direction of the first linear sliding module 2. Specifically, the drilling module 6 includes a fifth linear sliding module 62 installed on the lower bracket 12, and at least one set of the electric drills 61 is installed at the execution end of the fifth linear sliding module 62 to realize the movement of the electric drill 61 along its axial direction. Therefore, such a layout design of the drilling module 6 enables the drilling module 6 and the screw spinning module 5 to form a certain cooperative relationship in terms of spatial position and working sequence, and can complete the drilling and screw spinning operations in sequence according to the preset process. The two key installation actions that were originally completed manually in separate steps and using different tools are integrated and realized uniformly in the automated equipment. Through the internal automated process control of the equipment, the complexity of manual operation is significantly reduced, the overall installation efficiency is improved, and the mistakes and inefficiencies that may be caused by frequent tool switching and manual operation by workers are avoided.

[0039] The device adopts the structural layout of the upper bracket 11 and the lower bracket 12. The lower bracket 12 is installed on the upper bracket 11 by means of the first linear sliding module 2. This design endows the lower bracket 12 with the ability to move horizontally relative to the upper bracket 11, enabling it to flexibly switch between different positions. For example, when performing drilling and wire installation operations on components, especially when installing multiple points for the pipe positioning bracket 4 on the side of the component, this horizontal movement function greatly expands the coverage of the installation operation, improves the overall flexibility of the device, can effectively meet the installation requirements of components with different lengths, and enables the device to better adapt to diverse working scenarios.

[0040] In summary, the automatic installation process of the pipe bracket on the cement wall is realized as a whole, changing the way in the prior art that relies on a large number of manual operations, with high labor intensity and low efficiency, and having better safety.

[0041] In some practical applications, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 as shown, this automatic drilling and wire installation device is applied to the fixation of the pipe on the side of the component, that is, the pipe is fixed by the positioning bracket 4 (as shown in Figure 7 as shown, the positioning bracket 4 is similar to the structure of a clamp to wrap the pipe) and two groups of expansion bolts 41. In this implementation manner, the clamping end is configured as two groups of longitudinally distributed jaw cylinders 33 (the clamping end is not limited to jaw cylinders, and electric jaws or hydraulic jaws can also be used for replacement according to the actual situation). Two clamping plates 34 are relatively installed at the jaw driving end of each jaw cylinder 33. Arc-shaped grooves 341 are provided on the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 34 to form a concentric positioning hole when the jaw cylinder 33 is in the operating position; the expansion bolts 41 are configured with two groups and are all rotatably connected to the positioning bracket 4. When the two jaw cylinders 33 are in the operating position, the two expansion bolts 41 are clamped in the positioning holes of the two jaw cylinders 33.

[0042] In some other practical applications, referring to Figures 2 to 3As shown, the upper bracket 11 is suspended and moves on the member to be drilled and wired (this member can specifically refer to a bridge in bridge engineering, a wall in wall engineering, a tunnel wall in tunnel engineering, etc.). Specifically, the upper bracket 11 is configured as an arched structure. The walking wheel assembly includes a driving wheel 13 rotatably installed on the inner top wall of the arched structure of the upper bracket 11, and two groups of supporting wheels 14 respectively rotatably installed on the two side walls of the arched structure of the upper bracket 11. The driving wheel 13 is driven to rotate by a power module (the power module is the structure above the driving wheel 13 in the figure, and preferably a servo power system to accurately control the start and stop positions of the whole machine); when the upper bracket 11 is installed on the member, the driving wheel 13 rolls against the top of the wall to drive the upper bracket 11 to move along the direction of the member, and the two groups of supporting wheels 14 respectively roll against the two side walls of the member, and the lower bracket 12 is located outside the member. The setting of the walking wheel assembly allows the whole device to move along the direction of the member to realize large-scale pipeline installation and laying.

[0043] In this embodiment, the upper bracket 11 adopts an arched structure and is equipped with a walking wheel assembly composed of a driving wheel 13 and two groups of supporting wheels 14. This ingenious structural design realizes the suspended walking of the device on the member to be drilled and wired. The driving wheel 13 is rotatably installed on the inner top wall of the arched structure and is driven to rotate by a power module. When the device is installed on the member, the driving wheel 13 rolls against the top of the wall and can provide power for the device to move along the direction of the member; while the two groups of supporting wheels 14 on the two side walls respectively roll against the two side walls of the member, playing a role of stable support to ensure that the device will not shake or deviate during the movement, so that the whole device can move smoothly and conveniently along the direction of the member. Therefore, whether it is the long side of the member or the pipeline installation and laying work on the members in different areas, the device can rely on the walking wheel assembly to flexibly move to the corresponding position to carry out operations, without frequently reinstalling and positioning the device, effectively improving the work efficiency of pipeline installation and laying, and can better meet the requirements of pipeline installation projects of different scales and layouts, making the whole installation operation more flexible and adaptable.

[0044] An automatic drilling and wiring method for a member includes the following steps:

[0045] S1: Self-drive and move on the member through a bracket with a suspended walking function (i.e., equivalent to the upper bracket 11 and the lower bracket 12 of the above automatic drilling and wiring device), and move to the preset drilling and wiring position;

[0046] S2: The clamping end located on the bracket moves to the top of the member, and the operator places the positioning bracket 4 to be installed and the expansion bolt 41 located on the positioning bracket 4 at the clamping end, and the clamping end clamps and positions the expansion bolt 41;

[0047] S3: Move to the drilling position through the drilling module 6 on the bracket, and drill holes in the component to form pre-installed hole positions. At the same time, use a sensor to detect and adjust the depth of the pre-installed hole positions in real time;

[0048] S4: The expansion bolt 41 is aligned with the pre-installed hole position by the movement of the clamping end, and the nut sleeve 51 is moved and sleeved on the expansion bolt 41. At the same time, the clamping of the expansion bolt 41 by the clamping end is unlocked;

[0049] S5: The nut sleeve 51 is driven to rotate by power and move axially at a constant speed to drive the expansion bolt 41 into the pre-installed hole position, so as to fixedly assemble the positioning bracket 4 on the surface of the component.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with the preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments by using the above-disclosed technical content within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
