Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermal insulation layer assembly, and in particular to a thermal insulation sponge assembly device. Background Art

[0002] A condenser is a pipe that uses a cooling medium to cool high-temperature gas or steam, causing it to condense into liquid. The assembly of the condenser has different bending shapes depending on the application scenario. During use, when a low-temperature cooling medium flows through the condenser, the temperature of the pipe wall may be lower than the dew point of the outside air, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets outside the pipe wall. Therefore, in order to isolate the cold pipe wall from direct contact with the outside air, some condenser pipes also need to be covered with a layer of sponge tube on the outside.

[0003] However, the current assembly method of the condenser and the external insulation sleeve is mainly manual assembly, and the assembly process is relatively difficult. It is necessary to apply a layer of lubricating oil inside the sponge tube, and then hold the pipe with one hand and the sponge tube with the other hand to assemble the two. At the same time, during the assembly process, it is necessary to control the applied force to prevent the pipe from deformation.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a thermal insulation sponge assembly device and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a thermal insulation sponge assembly device and method thereof.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A thermal insulation sponge assembly device comprises a carrier, a carrier plate and a mounting plate, and also comprises a booster sleeve and a hard tube;

[0008] A carrier plate is fixedly installed on the left front side of the carrier, and a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the right rear side of the carrier; a positioning support platform for supporting one end of the hard pipe is fixedly installed on the carrier plate, and a card slot conforming to the end of the hard pipe and the pipe head connecting plate is opened on the upper side of the positioning support platform;

[0009] A thin rod for supporting the sponge sleeve is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate; the other end of the hard tube at the end of the thin rod is plugged in;

[0010] The booster sleeve is mounted on the thin insertion rod; the booster sleeve is provided with an airway, an air outlet chute, a narrow slide groove, and a slot; the airway is connected to an external high-pressure air pump through a hose; the air outlet chute is connected to the airway, and the air outlet chute is aligned with the middle of the sponge sleeve; the slot is plugged into one end of the sponge sleeve; the booster sleeve slides on the thin insertion rod and the hard tube through the narrow slide groove;

[0011] The carrier board is also provided with an in-place detection module for detecting whether the sponge cover is in place.

[0012] Furthermore, the in-place detection module includes a detection support column, which is fixedly mounted on the carrier plate, and has an inclined surface formed on the detection support column for contacting the end of the sponge sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, an annular limiting block for limiting the hard tube is fixedly installed on one side of the thin insertion rod close to the hard tube, and the annular limiting block is set to be a cone that becomes larger from left to right.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the thin insertion rod is smaller than the outer diameter of the hard tube.

[0015] Furthermore, the in-place detection module also includes a support plate, a pressure sensor and a photoelectric sensor. A receiving groove is opened on the inclined surface, and a photoelectric sensor is fixedly installed in the receiving groove; the photoelectric sensor is electrically connected to the external controller; the support plate is fixedly installed on the carrier, and a pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate; the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the external controller; and the external controller is electrically connected to the external high-pressure air pump.

[0016] In order to better achieve the purpose of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for assembling a rigid tube outer sponge insulation pipe, comprising the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: Place the booster sleeve on the upper side of the thin insertion rod, place the sponge sleeve on the thin insertion rod, and insert the end of the sponge sleeve into the slot; place the pipe head connecting plate at one end of the hard tube into the slot on the upper side of the positioning support platform, and connect the other end of the hard tube to the thin insertion rod;

[0018] Step 2: An external air pump blows compressed gas obliquely onto the inner wall of the sponge sleeve through a hose, an airway, and an air outlet chute. The operator or an external booster device pushes the booster sleeve and the sponge sleeve to move the sponge sleeve onto the hard tube until the booster sleeve contacts the pressure sensor and the pressure sensor detects a pressure signal. If the photoelectric sensor does not detect a change in light intensity at this time, proceed to step 3. If the photoelectric sensor detects a change in light intensity, proceed directly to step 4.

[0019] Step 3: Smooth the other end of the sponge cover until the photoelectric sensor detects a change in light intensity; then proceed to step 4;

[0020] Step 4: Stop the external air pump from supplying air. After the air between the sponge sleeve and the hard tube escapes, the sponge sleeve shrinks onto the hard tube to complete the assembly.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. After the hard tube and the sponge cover are installed, the air pump blows the compressed gas obliquely to the inner wall of the sponge cover through the hose, the airway and the air outlet chute, so that a pressure gas isolation layer is formed between the sponge cover and the hard tube, thereby reducing the friction between the sponge cover and the hard tube; the operator can directly push the booster cover to push the sponge cover through the booster cover to move the sponge cover onto the hard tube until the detection support column contacts the end of the sponge cover, indicating that the sponge cover is assembled in place; at this time, the external air pump stops supplying air, and after the gas between the sponge cover and the hard tube overflows, the sponge cover shrinks on the hard tube, thereby achieving rapid assembly;

[0022] 2. The present invention saves the time of applying lubricating oil on the hard pipe, increases the assembly speed, and makes the hard pipe clean and free of oil stains;

[0023] 3. The friction between the hard tube and the sponge sleeve is greatly reduced during the assembly process, so there is no need to apply a large pushing force during assembly, which effectively prevents the hard tube from being deformed by a large assembly force.

[0037] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The terms “left,” “right,” “front,” “back,” “up,” and “down” mentioned in the following description are oriented in the viewing direction of the front view.

[0039] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings of the specification. Figure 1-Figure 7 , a thermal insulation sponge assembly device, comprising a carrier 1, a carrier plate 2 and a mounting plate 3; further comprising a booster sleeve 4 and a hard tube 5;

[0040] A carrier plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the left front side of the carrier 1, and a mounting plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the right rear side of the carrier 1; a positioning support platform 21 for supporting one end of the rigid tube 5 is fixedly mounted on the carrier plate 2, and a slot 22 conforming to the end of the rigid tube 5 and the tube head connecting plate 51 is formed on the upper side of the positioning support platform 21;

[0041] A thin rod 31 for supporting the sponge cover 6 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3; the other end of the hard tube 5 is plugged into the end of the thin rod 31;

[0042] The booster sleeve 4 is sleeved on the thin insertion rod 31; the booster sleeve 4 is provided with an air channel 41, an air outlet chute 42, a narrow slide 43 and a slot 44; the air channel 41 is connected to an external high-pressure air pump through a hose; the air outlet chute 42 is connected to the air channel 41, and the air outlet chute 42 is aligned with the middle of the sponge sleeve 6; the slot 44 is plugged into one end of the sponge sleeve 6; the booster sleeve 4 slides on the thin insertion rod 31 and the hard tube 5 through the narrow slide 43;

[0043] The carrier plate 2 is also provided with a position detection module 7 for detecting whether the sponge cover 6 is in place.

[0044] The in-place detection module 7 includes a detection support column 71 , which is fixedly mounted on the carrier plate 2 . An inclined surface 72 is formed on the detection support column 71 for contacting the end of the sponge cover 6 .

[0045] An annular limiting block 32 for limiting the position of the hard tube 5 is fixedly mounted on one side of the thin insertion rod 31 close to the hard tube 5 . The annular limiting block 32 is configured to be tapered and gradually increases in size from left to right.

[0046] The outer diameter of the thin insertion rod 31 is smaller than the outer diameter of the hard tube 5 .

[0047] The maximum outer diameter of the annular limiting block 32 is equal to the outer diameter of the hard tube 5 .

[0048] In this embodiment, when the thermal insulation sponge assembly device is working normally, the operator or the robotic arm sleeves the booster sleeve 4 on the upper side of the thin insertion rod 31, sleeves the sponge sleeve 6 on the thin insertion rod 31, and inserts the end of the sponge sleeve 6 into the slot 44; the pipe head connecting plate 51 at one end of the hard tube 5 is placed in the card groove 22 on the upper side of the positioning support platform 21, and the pipe head connecting plate 51 is limited and supported by the card groove 22, and the other end of the hard tube 5 is plugged into the thin insertion rod 31 until the other end of the hard tube 5 contacts the annular limit block 32;

[0049] Start the external air pump, and the air pump blows the compressed gas obliquely to the inner wall of the sponge cover 6 through the hose, the air channel 41 and the air outlet chute 42; so that a pressure gas isolation layer is formed between the sponge cover 6 and the hard tube 5, thereby reducing the friction between the sponge cover 6 and the hard tube 5; the operator can directly push the booster cover 4, and push the sponge cover 6 through the booster cover 4, so that the sponge cover 6 moves to the hard tube 5 until the detection support column 71 contacts the end of the sponge cover 6, indicating that the sponge cover 6 is assembled in place; at this time, the external air pump stops supplying air, and after the gas between the sponge cover 6 and the hard tube 5 overflows, the sponge cover 6 is tightened on the hard tube 5, and the assembly is completed;

[0050] Compared with the existing method of assembling the hard tube 5 and the sponge cover 6 by applying oil to the outer wall of the hard tube 5, the present invention can effectively improve the assembly speed, save the time of applying lubricating oil, and make the hard tube 5 clean and free of oil stains. The assembly by the oiling method takes 50 seconds, while the present invention can complete the assembly in about 25 seconds. At the same time, the friction between the hard tube 5 and the sponge cover 6 is greatly reduced during the assembly process, and there is no need to apply a large driving force during assembly, which effectively prevents the hard tube 5 from being deformed by a large assembly force.

[0051] By setting the thickness of the narrow chute 43 to be smaller (the thickness of the chute 43 is less than 0.5 cm), the narrow chute 43 can also slide at the bend of the hard tube 5 .

[0052] Embodiment 2: In some embodiments, as Figures 8-10 As shown, the in-place detection module 7 also includes a support plate 73, a pressure sensor 74 and a photoelectric sensor 76. A receiving groove 75 is opened on the inclined surface 72, and a photoelectric sensor 76 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove 75; the photoelectric sensor 76 is electrically connected to the external controller; the support plate 73 is fixedly installed on the carrier 1, and a pressure sensor 74 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 73; the pressure sensor 74 is electrically connected to the external controller; and the external controller is electrically connected to the external high-pressure air pump.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the support plate 73, the pressure sensor 74 and the photoelectric sensor 76 are working normally, after the hard tube 5 and the sponge cover 6 are installed; the external air pump is started, and the air pump blows the compressed gas obliquely to the inner wall of the sponge cover 6 through the hose, the airway 41 and the air outlet chute 42; a pressure gas isolation layer is formed between the sponge cover 6 and the hard tube 5, thereby reducing the friction between the sponge cover 6 and the hard tube 5; the operator or the external booster device can directly push the booster cover 4, and push the sponge cover 6 through the booster cover 4, so that the sponge cover 6 moves to the hard tube 5 until the booster cover 4 contacts with the pressure sensor 74. At this time, the pressure sensor 7 4 detects pressure; if the end of the sponge cover 6 also contacts the detection support column 71, the end of the sponge cover 6 blocks the accommodating groove 75, and the photoelectric sensor 76 detects the light intensity change, thereby judging whether the other end of the sponge cover 6 is in place; if the other end of the sponge cover 6 is not in place, the other end of the sponge cover 6 is smoothed; if the other end of the sponge cover 6 is in place, the external air pump stops supplying air, and after the gas between the sponge cover 6 and the hard tube 5 overflows, the sponge cover 6 shrinks on the hard tube 5, completing the assembly and ensuring that the sponge cover 6 is assembled in place; by detecting the two ends of the sponge cover 6 in place, the situation where the sponge cover 6 shrinks on the hard tube 5 is avoided.

[0054] Embodiment 3: In some embodiments, as Figures 1-8 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for assembling a rigid tube outer sponge insulation tube includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: Place the booster sleeve 4 on the upper side of the thin insertion rod 31, place the sponge sleeve 6 on the thin insertion rod 31, and insert the end of the sponge sleeve 6 into the slot 44; place the pipe head connecting plate 51 at one end of the hard tube 5 into the card slot 22 on the upper side of the positioning support platform 21, and plug the other end of the hard tube 5 into the thin insertion rod 31;

[0056] Step 2: The external air pump blows the compressed gas obliquely to the inner wall of the sponge cover 6 through the hose, the air channel 41 and the air outlet chute 42; the operator or the external booster device pushes the booster cover 4 and the sponge cover 6 to move the sponge cover 6 onto the hard tube 5 until the booster cover 4 contacts the pressure sensor 74 and the pressure sensor 74 detects a pressure signal; at this time, if the photoelectric sensor 76 does not detect a change in light intensity, step 3 is executed; if the photoelectric sensor 76 detects a change in light intensity, step 4 is directly executed;

[0057] Step 3: Smooth the other end of the sponge cover 6 until the photoelectric sensor 76 detects a change in light intensity; then proceed to step 4;

[0058] Step 4: Stop the external air pump from supplying air. After the air between the sponge sleeve 6 and the hard tube 5 escapes, the sponge sleeve 6 shrinks onto the hard tube 5 to complete the assembly.

[0059] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
