Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hose assembly, and in particular to an automatic assembly device and method for a one-way valve, a sponge block and a hose. Background Art

[0002] In modern automobile manufacturing, the performance of the hydraulic system directly affects the safety and reliability of the vehicle. As an important component of the hydraulic system, the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the hose are crucial to the performance of the overall system. The traditional assembly of hoses and check valves mainly relies on manual operation, which usually requires the collaboration of multiple workers. The process is cumbersome and inefficient.

[0003] For manual assembly, there are the following problems: when holding the hose manually, it is easy to cause the position deviation of the hose, affecting the assembly accuracy. When the one-way valve is installed into the hose, the depth of installation cannot be accurately controlled, resulting in inaccurate insertion position of the one-way valve. And with the rapid development of the automotive industry, the manual assembly method can no longer meet the growing production needs, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop a highly automated one-way valve assembly tool. At present, there are also automated assembly tools. The relevant prior art, such as the Chinese patent application "A hose flow limiting valve assembly device", application number: CN201921719896.3, discloses a machine base, the surface of which is provided with a hose positioning section profiling base, a hose flattening section base, a flow limiting valve profiling base and a push valve mechanism in sequence, a positioning section clamping mechanism is provided above the hose positioning section profiling base, a hose clamping groove is provided on the top surface of the hose flattening section base, a hose flattening mechanism is provided above, a groove matching the flow limiting valve is provided on the top surface of the flow limiting valve profiling base, a flow limiting valve transmission mechanism is provided above, the flow limiting valve transmission mechanism transmits the flow limiting valve to the flow limiting valve profiling base, and the push valve mechanism pushes the flow limiting valve on the flow limiting valve profiling base into the interior of the hose.

[0005] The automatic assembly tooling realizes the rapid and accurate docking of the valve body and the hose through mechanized means, which significantly improves the production efficiency. However, this application involves the installation of a one-way valve, and the actual outer diameter of the one-way valve is larger than the inner diameter of the hose, which means that it is impossible to push the one-way valve through a mechanical structure to realize the assembly of the one-way valve and the hose. And after the assembly of the one-way valve is completed, a sponge block needs to be installed in the hose. And it is necessary to detect whether the one-way valve and the sponge block are installed correctly. The existing technology cannot solve the above problems, so an automatic assembly equipment for a one-way valve, a sponge block and a hose is designed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an automatic assembly device and an assembly method for a one-way valve, a sponge block and a hose, so as to realize the automation of assembly and detection of the one-way valve, improve assembly efficiency and accuracy, and reduce labor costs.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in the present application is: automatic assembly equipment for a one-way valve, a sponge block and a hose, comprising a frame, a first base and a second base arranged on the frame, a one-way valve assembly tool being arranged on the first base, and a sponge block assembly tool being arranged on the second base; The one-way valve assembly tool comprises an assembly seat, an assembly rod is erected on the assembly seat, the upper end of the assembly rod is the installation position of the one-way valve, the one-way valve sleeve is arranged on the upper end of the assembly rod and is limited by the assembly rod, the first base is provided with an air pipe port connected to the air pump, the non-assembly end of the hose is connected to the air pipe port, and the assembly end of the hose is connected to the upper end of the one-way valve; when the air pump is working, the hose is inflated through the air pipe port to expand the hose, and the assembly end of the hose is pressed down to complete the assembly with the one-way valve; The sponge block assembly tool comprises a contoured base for installing a hose, a detection component for detecting whether the hose is properly placed is arranged on the contoured base, and a displacement sensor for detecting whether a one-way valve is installed on the hose is arranged above the contoured base.

Secondly, the present application designs an assembly rod erected on the assembly seat to install the one-way valve, and the one-way valve is limited by the assembly rod, so that the one-way valve is at the upper end of the assembly rod, that is, there is a predetermined spacing between the one-way valve and the assembly. At this time, the non-assembly end of the hose is docked with the air pipe port, the assembly end of the hose is docked with the upper end of the one-way valve, the air pump is started to expand the hose, and the assembly end of the hose is pressed down to complete the assembly with the one-way valve. The distance that the hose is pressed down is limited by the assembly seat, thereby effectively controlling the distance that the one-way valve is installed. The design of the assembly seat and the assembly rod ensures the accurate positioning of the one-way valve during the assembly process, avoids the assembly error caused by manual operation, and thus improves the assembly accuracy. The design of the air pipe port connected to the air pump enables the assembly end of the hose to be docked by pneumatic means, provides a stable assembly force, and ensures the smooth progress of the assembly.

[0009] Thirdly, the contoured base is provided with a detection component and a displacement sensor, which can monitor the installation status of the hose and the assembly status of the one-way valve in real time after the one-way valve is assembled, ensuring the accuracy of each step and reducing the risk caused by assembly errors. Finally, the equipment has a high degree of automation, which reduces dependence on manual labor and reduces labor costs, while also reducing the workload of workers and the incidence of human errors. In summary, this application improves the intelligence level of the production line by integrating detection and power systems, making the production process more efficient and reliable.

The setting of the gas valve switch can effectively control the working state of the air pump and the clamping device, avoids safety hazards caused by equipment failure or operating errors, and improves the safety of the equipment.

[0015] That is, the setting of the limit ring limits the distance between the one-way valve and the top surface of the assembly seat, thereby limiting the depth of the one-way valve introduced into the hose. The setting of the outer diameter size of the limit ring and the assembly rod can ensure that after the one-way valve is assembled, the hose can be smoothly removed from the limit ring and the assembly rod.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, a detection probe for detecting the assembly position of the sponge block is installed at one end of the contoured base. The detection probe is a rod-shaped structure adapted to the inner diameter of the hose, and the detection probe is connected to a power device. When the power device works, it drives the detection probe to move into the hose, pushing the sponge block located at the end of the hose into the hose.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, a moving component is provided on the second base, and the moving component includes a linear slide rail provided on the second base and a slider installed on the linear slide rail, the slider is connected to a power device, and the power device drives the slider to move along the slide rail; the detection probe is installed on the slider, and when the slider moves to a predetermined position, the detection probe is opposite to the hose on the contoured base; a fixed seat is installed on the slider, a pushing cylinder is installed on one side of the fixed seat, and a pushing block is installed on the other side of the fixed seat, the detection probe is detachably installed on the pushing block, the pushing cylinder is connected to the pushing block, and the pushing cylinder works to drive the pushing block to move.

[0018] In the present application, the detection probe is designed to be a detachable structure, which has higher flexibility. The detection personnel can remove the detection probe and manually insert it into the hose for detection.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection probe is a visual sensor, the detection probe is electrically connected to an electronic screen through a control system, and the electrical signal detected by the detection probe is displayed on the electronic screen.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the top surface of the contoured base is provided with a lower groove adapted to the structure of the hose on which the one-way valve is installed, and a locally widened detection section is provided on the lower groove, and the one-way valve located in the hose is installed in the detection section of the lower groove.

[0021] A partially widened detection section is provided on the lower groove of the contoured base. After the hose is installed in the lower groove, the operator can intuitively judge the assembly status.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, a displacement sensor is arranged directly above the detection section, and the displacement sensor is connected to the downward cylinder; the downward cylinder works to drive the displacement sensor to move toward the detection section of the downward groove to detect whether the one-way valve is installed, and the downward cylinder works to drive the displacement sensor to return to its initial position upward.

[0023] The displacement sensor is designed to move up and down, so that the displacement sensor moves downward to get closer to the profiling base for more accurate detection. The displacement sensor moves upward to get away from the profiling base to avoid interference during hose installation.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the contoured base is detachably mounted on the second base, both sides of the contoured base are provided with embedding grooves, a mounting frame is provided at the embedding grooves, and the detection component is mounted on the mounting frame. The design of the embedding groove allows the position of the detection component to be flexibly adjusted according to different detection requirements or equipment configurations, adapting to diverse assembly requirements and improving the flexibility of the production line.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, a waist-shaped hole is opened at one end of the mounting frame, and one end of the mounting frame is embedded in the embedding groove. The waist-shaped hole matches the mounting hole, and the mounting frame is locked in the embedding groove by bolts.

[0027] The shape of the waist hole allows a certain amount of adjustment space, so that the mounting frame can be fine-tuned as needed during installation to adapt to different assembly requirements and improve the flexibility of the equipment. The bolt locking method provides a strong connection to ensure that the mounting frame will not loosen due to vibration or other factors during operation, enhancing the safety of the overall structure. The use of bolt locking makes the maintenance and replacement process simpler, and operators can quickly disassemble and replace the mounting frame, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection assembly includes a transmitter and a receiver arranged opposite to each other, the transmitter sends a light signal to the receiver, and the hose passes between the transmitter and the receiver. Specifically, it can be designed that the hose will just block the light signal emitted by the transmitter after it is installed in place, and then the receiver can determine whether the hose is installed in place based on whether it can receive the light signal.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, two left and right start buttons are provided on the second base, and the start buttons are electrically connected to a control device, and the control device is used to control the operation of the power device and the downward pressure cylinder.

[0030] In this application, for the sake of equipment safety, two start buttons are set. Only when the operator presses the two start buttons with both hands at the same time can the device be successfully started. This can ensure that the operator's hands have left the assembly tooling, ensuring safety.

[0031] The assembly method of the hose, using the automatic assembly equipment of the one-way valve, sponge block and hose, comprises the following steps: 1) Soak the assembly ends of the one-way valve and hose to be assembled in water; 2) Place the one-way valve on the upper end of the assembly rod, put the non-assembly end of the hose onto the air pipe port, and connect the assembly end of the hose to the upper end of the one-way valve; 3) Start the air valve switch, the clamping device works to clamp the hose, the air pump works to inflate the hose, and the assembly end of the hose moves downward after inflating to contact the top surface of the assembly seat; 4) Turn off the air valve switch, the air pump stops working, the hose shrinks and returns to its original state, and the clamping device retreats and returns to its original position; 5) Pull the assembly end of the hose out of the assembly rod, and pull the non-assembly end of the hose out of the air pipe port; 6) Place the hose on the contoured base, wherein the one-way valve in the hose is installed in the detection section of the lower groove, and place the sponge block to be assembled on the assembly end of the hose; 7) Press the start button, the displacement sensor moves downward to detect whether the one-way valve is installed in place. If the one-way valve is not installed correctly, an alarm will be sounded and the equipment will stop working. If the one-way valve is installed correctly, the detection probe will work to push the sponge block into the hose, and the detection image of the detection probe will be fed back to the electronic screen in real time. The operator can judge whether the sponge block is assembled in place based on the image on the electronic screen.

[0032] 8) After the detection probe is assembled, it returns to its initial position, the displacement sensor moves back to its initial position, and the equipment stops working.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present application is that, through the above-mentioned assembly method, the one-way valve and the sponge block can be smoothly assembled into the hose, and the assembly accuracy can be effectively guaranteed. First, by immersing the assembly ends of the one-way valve and the hose to be assembled in water, the surface of the one-way valve is moistened, and the inner wall surface of the hose is moistened, thereby achieving a lubricating effect, which is convenient for the docking and assembly of the two. After the water dries up, the friction between the inner wall surface of the hose and the one-way valve will increase, which more effectively ensures that the one-way valve is stably in the preset installation position. Secondly, the present application expands the inner diameter of the hose by inflating the hose, thereby well realizing the installation of the one-way valve with an outer diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the hose. Thirdly, the assembly of the detection probe and the sponge block is combined, and the assembly of the sponge block and the detection of the position of the sponge block are realized at the same time by moving the detection probe. And the lower groove of the profiling base is provided with a locally widened detection section, and after the hose is installed in the lower groove, the operator can intuitively judge the assembly situation.

The use of bolt locking makes the maintenance and replacement process simpler, and operators can quickly disassemble and replace the mounting frame, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency.

[0058] The detection assembly 7 includes a transmitter and a receiver arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides. The transmitter sends a light signal to the receiver, and the hose 24 passes between the transmitter and the receiver. Specifically, it can be designed that the hose 24 will just block the light signal sent by the transmitter after being installed in place, so the receiver can determine whether the hose 24 is installed in place according to whether it can receive the light signal.

[0059] The second base 3 is provided with two left and right start buttons 27, which are electrically connected to a control device for controlling the operation of the power device 10 and the downward pressure cylinder 23. In the present application, two start buttons 27 are provided for equipment safety, and only when the operator presses the two start buttons 27 with both hands at the same time can the equipment be successfully started, which can ensure that both hands of the operator have left the assembly tooling, thereby ensuring safety.

[0060] The other contents of the third embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

[0061] The fourth embodiment of the method for assembling the hose uses the automatic assembly equipment of the hose 24, and comprises the following steps: 1) Soak the assembly ends of the one-way valve 25 and the hose 24 to be assembled in water. The surface of the one-way valve 25 is moistened, and the inner wall of the hose 24 is moistened, thereby achieving a lubricating effect and facilitating the docking and assembly of the two. When the water dries, the friction between the inner wall of the hose 24 and the one-way valve 25 will increase, which more effectively ensures that the one-way valve 25 is stably in the preset installation position.

[0062] 2) Place the one-way valve 25 on the upper end of the assembly rod 32, insert the non-assembly end of the hose 24 into the air pipe port 34, and connect the assembly end of the hose 24 to the upper end of the one-way valve 25; 3) Start the air valve switch 40, the clamping device 35 works to clamp the hose 24, the air pump 33 works to inflate the hose 24, and the assembly end of the hose 24 moves downward to contact the top surface of the assembly seat 31 after being inflated. The present application expands the inner diameter of the hose 24 by inflating the hose 24, thereby well realizing the installation of the one-way valve 25 whose outer diameter is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the hose 24.

[0063] 4) Turn off the air valve switch 40, the air pump 33 stops working, the hose 24 shrinks and returns to its original state, and the clamping device 35 retreats and returns to its original position. At this point, the one-way valve assembly tool 4 in the present application has completed its work.

[0064] 5) Pull out the assembly end of the hose 24 from the assembly rod 32, and pull out the non-assembly end of the hose 24 from the air pipe port 34. At this point, the hose 24 has been assembled with the one-way valve 25.

[0065] 6) Place the rubber hose 24 on the contoured base 6, wherein the one-way valve 25 in the rubber hose 24 is installed in the detection section 42 of the lower groove 41, and place the sponge block 26 to be assembled on the assembly end of the rubber hose 24; 7) Press the start button 27, and the displacement sensor 8 moves downward to detect whether the one-way valve 25 is installed in place. If the one-way valve 25 is not installed correctly, an alarm will be sounded and the equipment will stop working; if the one-way valve 25 is installed correctly, the detection probe 9 will work to push the sponge block 26 into the hose 24, and the detection image of the detection probe 9 will be fed back to the electronic screen 19 in real time. The operator can judge whether the sponge block 26 is assembled in place according to the image on the electronic screen 19. The assembly of the detection probe 9 and the sponge block 26 is combined, and the assembly of the sponge block 26 and the detection of the position of the sponge block 26 are realized at the same time through the movement of the detection probe 9.

[0066] 8) After the detection probe 9 is assembled, it returns to the initial position, the displacement sensor 8 moves back to the initial position, and the equipment stops working. At this point, the hose 24 completes the assembly of the one-way valve 25 and the sponge block 26.

[0067] The present application is described in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
