[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile exhaust bellows production, and in particular to a mesh sleeve fixing device for automobile exhaust bellows production. Background Art

[0002] Automobile exhaust bellows, also known as automobile exhaust pipe hose, is installed in the exhaust pipe between the engine exhaust branch pipe and the muffler, making the entire exhaust system flexibly connected, thereby reducing vibration and noise, facilitating installation and extending the life of the exhaust muffler system.

[0003] Automobile exhaust bellows include bellows and mesh sleeve. The mesh sleeve can improve the strength and compression and torsional resistance of the bellows.

[0004] In the prior art, when installing the mesh sleeve, a round buckle is generally put on the outer wall of the mesh sleeve at the end of the corrugated pipe first, and then it is placed on the expansion and rounding machine for expansion and rounding, so that the mesh sleeve and the corrugated pipe can be fixed together, and the above action is repeated at the other end. The whole process needs to be repeated twice, the labor intensity of the staff is high, and the production efficiency is low.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve production efficiency, it is urgent to develop a semi-automatic production device that can improve production efficiency but has low cost. Summary of the Invention

The rotating block drives the support rod to tilt upward, and the lifting cylinder drives the support platform to move upward, so that the exhaust bellows can be lifted from the base. The X-axis linear moving slide drives the exhaust bellows away from the clamping mechanism, and then the servo motor drives the support rod to tilt downward again, and the exhaust bellows falls from the discharge port under the action of gravity.

[0012] Preferably, a telescopic sleeve is provided inside the spring, the top end of the telescopic sleeve is fixed to the lifting block, and the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve is fixed to the sliding block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the telescopic sleeve can, on the one hand, provide guiding performance for the lifting block, and on the other hand, reduce the vibration amplitude of the spring, so that the lifting block can be quickly reset and hovered.

[0014] Preferably, in order to ensure that the pressing block can move vertically up and down, the pressing block is slidably connected to the mounting frame.

[0015] To sum up, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: the mesh sleeve fixing device for the production of automobile exhaust bellows is provided with a clamping mechanism, a positioning mechanism and symmetrically arranged expanding and rounding machines on both sides of the clamping mechanism. The positioning mechanism can place the bellows covered with the mesh sleeve in the center, and use the clamping mechanism to transport the bellows to the expanding and rounding machine.

During the entire process, the staff only needs to perform loading actions, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the staff. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
