TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sealing detection, and particularly relates to a sealing detection machine for end connector with robot cooperation loading function. BACKGROUND
[0002] The end connector of a pipeline is a key component for ensuring the closed transmission of medium in a pipeline system, and its sealing performance directly determines the operation safety and reliability of the whole pipeline system. Therefore, after the production and processing of the end connector of a pipeline are completed, in order to strictly control the quality of the product, the sealing performance of the end connector needs to be comprehensively and accurately detected by a sealing detection machine, so as to ensure that each product meets the preset quality standard. In order to improve the rapidity and convenience of the detection process, some detection machines are equipped with robots to load and unload workpieces.
[0003] Before formal detection, the existing sealing detection machine for the end connector of a pipeline needs to complete key preparatory processes such as clamping of the end connector and gas supply after clamping. At present, the execution mode of these preparatory processes has obvious limitations. An automatic detection machine needs to be separately configured with dedicated driving components for each process, and the preparatory processes are completed step by step through automatic means. Although this is sufficient for automation and intelligence, it still needs to occupy additional operation or equipment running time, resulting in a long time consumption in the preparatory stage, which directly restricts the overall efficiency improvement of the sealing detection and makes it difficult to meet the high-efficiency detection demand in the batch production scene. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application relates to a sealing detection machine for an end connector with robot cooperation loading function, which can automatically complete the sealing work, clamping work and subsequent gas supply work for the end of the connector during the sinking and immersion of the end connector, so that the present application can automatically complete a series of preparatory work required before sealing detection during the immersion process, without wasting special time or equipment to specially perform the preparatory work. The present detection machine directly omits a series of preparatory steps, improves the detection efficiency of the present detection machine, and can automatically limit the position of the plug during the immersion of the end connector of the pipeline, so that the plug cannot be withdrawn from the jack, thereby ensuring the stability of the module socket and the sealing pad during normal use. In addition, when the detection machine is not in use and is in a static state after rising, the outward movement path of the plug is not limited, and the worker can easily make it exit the jack and disassemble the module socket and the sealing pad. In this way, the modular sealing structure and the double-state locking structure cooperate to ensure the stability of the sealing structure while facilitating the replacement of the sealing structure.

[0037] The detection machine can automatically complete the sealing work, clamping work and subsequent gas supply work of the end connector during the sinking process, so that the detection machine can automatically complete a series of preparatory work required before sealing detection, without wasting special time or equipment to perform preparatory work, so that the detection machine directly omits a series of preparatory steps, improving the detection efficiency of the detection machine.
[0038] In example three, on the basis of example two, the inner side of the support strip 301 is fixedly installed with a pushing plate 302; the left and right sides of the pushing plate 302 are inclined; the top of the lower pushing plate 302 is fixedly installed with a mounting seat 303; the outer end of the gas supply pipe 2 is slidably connected with the connecting pipe 107, and the connecting pipe 107 is connected with the external gas supply equipment through a hose; the inner wall of the plugging piece 201 and the outer wall of the sinking slide 3 are jointly embedded with springs; the inside of the closing plate 202 and the plugging piece 201 are jointly embedded with springs; the clamping column 205 is slidably installed in the clamping groove 104; the inner end of the plug 207 is in a hemispherical structure; the limiting piece 208 and the connecting seat 204 are jointly embedded with springs; the position of the slot 209 matches the position of the plug 207; the outer end of the limiting piece 208 is rotatably installed with a pulley 2010; the outer wall of the pulley 2010 is attached to the inner wall of the support strip 301; the inner side of the module socket 2011 is glued with a sealing gasket 2012; the outer wall of the module socket 2011 is centrally provided with a jack 2013; the inner end of the plug 207 is inserted into the jack 2013; after moving in the gas supply pipe 2, the connecting column 203 on the closing plate 202 will move inwards to the opening position above the driving groove 102, and then when the sinking slide 3 continues to descend, the connecting column 203 will slide into the driving groove 102, and the inclined structure of the driving groove 102 will control the relative movement of the closing plate 202, so that the closing plate 202 removes the plugging of the gas flow, and the gas from the external equipment enters the inside of the end connector through the connecting pipe 107 and the gas supply pipe 2. At this time, the end connector has also been immersed in the water of the detection water tank 1, so if the end connector leaks, the leakage situation and position can be quickly observed by detecting the change of the water in the detection water tank 1.
[0039] The detection machine can also automatically limit the position of the plug 207 during the immersion process of the end connector, so that it cannot be withdrawn from the jack 2013, ensuring the stability of the module socket 2011 and the sealing gasket 2012 during normal use. In addition, when the detection machine is not in use and is in a rising and stationary state, the outward movement path of the plug 207 is not limited, and the staff can easily make it exit the jack 2013 and disassemble the module socket 2011 and the sealing gasket 2012. Therefore, through the cooperation of the modular sealing structure and the double-state locking structure, the stability of the sealing structure can be ensured, and the replacement of the sealing structure can be facilitated.
[0040] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: in use, first, the robot in front of the water tank 1 is used to accurately place the end connector to be detected on the mounting seat 303, then the control cylinder 106 is started, the sinking slide 3, the gas supply pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 107 are driven to synchronously descend as a whole, in the descending process, the clamping column 205 converts the vertical descending force into horizontal inward moving force by means of the inclined groove structure of the clamping groove 104, and the horizontal inward moving force is transmitted to the gas supply pipe 2, the connecting seat 204, the module seat 206 and the module socket 2011, so that the sealing gasket 2012 inside the module socket 2011 is tightly fitted and clamped at both ends of the end connector by horizontal inward moving, this action not only realizes the sealing of both ends of the end connector, but also completes the accurate positioning, thereby laying a stable foundation for subsequent sealing detection, at the same time, the pulley 2010 descends with the whole structure, and gradually moves inward to the action area of the push plate 302, the inclined structure of the push plate 302 generates guiding force on the pulley 2010, drives the pulley 2010 and the limiting piece 208 connected thereto to relatively move inward in the vertical direction, this movement makes the position of the limiting piece 208 passing through the groove 209 staggered with the plug 207, finally the limiting piece 208 stably blocks the outer end of the plug 207, forms axial limiting of the plug 207, effectively prevents the plug 207 from moving outward and falling off from the plug hole 2013, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the module socket 2011 and the sealing gasket 2012 during detection, in addition, after the gas supply pipe 2 moves inward horizontally with the clamping action, the connecting column 203 on the closing plate 202 moves inward synchronously, and slides to the opening above the driving groove 102, when the sinking slide 3 continues to drive the whole structure to descend, the connecting column 203 slides into the driving groove 102, the inclined structure of the driving groove 102 generates horizontal guiding force on the connecting column 203, controls the relative movement of the closing plate 202 in the front-back direction, this movement makes the closing plate 202 unblock the airflow passage, at this time, the gas of the external gas supply equipment can pass through the connecting pipe 107 and the gas supply pipe 2 in turn, and finally inject into the end connector, at this time, the end connector has been completely immersed in the water of the detection water tank 1 with the descent of the sinking slide 3, if the end connector has sealing defects, the injected gas will overflow from the leakage point and form visible bubbles in the water, the worker can quickly judge the leakage condition and specific leakage position of the end connector by observing the position and density of the bubbles, and realize efficient and accurate sealing detection.
[0041] In this paper, the following points need attention:
[0042] 1. The drawings of the embodiment of the present application only involve the structures involved in the embodiment of the present application, and other structures can refer to the usual design.
[0043] 2. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.
