[0028] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment provided in this application is an air compressor housing closing and helium filling device. Its structure includes a frame 1, a conveyor line 2 arranged on the frame 1 along the X-axis direction, and a plurality of fixtures 3 conveyed along the conveyor line 2. It also includes a closing mechanism 4 and a helium filling mechanism 5 arranged sequentially on the frame 1 along the X-axis direction.

[0030] In actual use, the product 100 to be assembled is transported to the corresponding position of the closing mechanism 4 via the conveyor line 2. Then the closing mechanism 4 closes the product 100. Then the conveyor line 2 transports the fixture 3 to the helium filling mechanism 5. Then the helium filling mechanism 5 fills the product 100 with helium.

[0031] The above design enables the rapid tightening of bolts on the air compressor housing and allows the helium filling mechanism 5 to fill the cavity inside the housing with helium, creating airflow inside the housing and replacing the water vapor inside.

[0032] Specifically: such as Figure 2 As shown, the closing mechanism 4 includes a first support 41 mounted on the frame 1, a first lifting assembly mounted on the frame 1 for raising and lowering the fixture 3, a first linear guide rail 42 vertically mounted on the first support 41, a lifting frame 43 slidably mounted on the first linear guide rail 42, a first drive assembly 44 mounted on the first support 41 for driving the lifting frame 43 to rise and fall, several screw fastening machines 45 mounted on the lifting frame 43, and a central pressing component 46 mounted on the lifting frame 43. It should be noted that the conveyor line 2 is a double-speed chain, and the conveyor line 2 stops when the fixture 3 moves to the corresponding position of the closing mechanism 4. The first drive assembly 44 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a linear module.

[0033] In actual use, after the fixture 3 moves to the bottom of the closing mechanism 4, the first lifting component lifts the fixture 3 so that the fixture 3 is separated from the conveyor line 2. Then, the first drive component 44 drives the lifting frame 43 to move down, so that the center pressing component 46 presses down on the end cap of the product 100, so that the screw locking component aligns with the bolt end pre-installed on the product 100 and tightens the bolt. After the closing mechanism 4 is completed, the first lifting component moves down so that the fixture 3 returns to the conveyor line 2 and moves along the conveyor line 2 to the helium filling mechanism 5.

[0034] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the closing mechanism 4 can effectively lock the product 100. It can press the center of the end cap of the product 100 using the central pressing part 46 to prevent the product 100 from shaking during the locking process.

[0035] Specifically: such as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting frame 43 includes a first vertical plate 431 slidably connected to a first linear guide rail 42, a lower horizontal plate 432 disposed at the lower end of the first vertical plate 431, an upper horizontal plate 433 disposed at the upper end of the first vertical plate 431, a support column 434 connecting the upper horizontal plate 433 and the lower horizontal plate 432, a moving plate 435, and a retaining strip 436 disposed on the lower horizontal plate 432. The retaining strip 436 and the lower horizontal plate 432 form a retaining groove. The moving plate 435 is bolted into the retaining groove. The upper horizontal plate 433 is connected to a first drive assembly 44.

[0036] In actual use, the upper horizontal plate 433 is driven to rise and fall by the first drive component 44, so that the upper horizontal plate 433 drives the first vertical plate 431, the lower horizontal plate 432, the support column 434, the moving plate 435 and the clamping bar 436 to rise and fall synchronously.

[0037] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the lifting frame 43 can ensure stable lifting along the first linear guide rail 42, and ensure that the central pressing component 46 and the screw fastening machine 45 lift synchronously and stably.

[0038] Specifically: such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the movable plate 435 is provided with a vertical through hole, and the central pressing component 46 includes a connecting block 461 provided on the upper end face of the movable plate 435, a first linear bearing 462 provided on the connecting block 461, a lifting shaft 463 sleeved on the first linear bearing 462, a limiting end 464 provided on the upper end of the lifting shaft 463, a pressing block 465 provided on the lower end of the lifting shaft 463, and a first spring 466 sleeved on the lifting shaft 463. The two ends of the first spring 466 abut against the upper end face of the pressing head and the lower end face of the first linear bearing 462, respectively.

[0039] In actual use, the movable plate 435 is fixed in the slot by bolts. As the movable plate 435 moves down with the lifting frame 43, when the pressure block 465 contacts the end cap of the product 100, the central pressure component 46 continues to descend with the movable plate 435. Before the first drive assembly 44 stops driving the descent, the lifting shaft 463 moves up relative to the first linear bearing 462. At this time, the first spring 466 is compressed until the first drive assembly 44 stops driving.

[0040] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the central pressure component 46 can reduce the impact of the pressure block 465 on the end cap of the product 100 through the elastic change of the first spring 466, effectively achieving buffering when the pressure block 465 contacts the product 100, and preventing damage to the end face of the product 100.

[0041] Specifically: such as Figure 2 As shown, the screw fastening machine 45 includes several mounting blocks 451 disposed on the lower end face of the movable plate 435, several sleeves 452 respectively rotatably disposed on the mounting blocks 451, several motors 453 disposed on the upper horizontal plate 433, and several couplings 454. Each coupling 454 connects the upper end of a sleeve 452 to the lower end of the motor 453 shaft. The lower end of the sleeve 452 has a polygonal opening for engaging with bolts.

[0042] In actual use, after the lifting frame 43 descends along the first linear guide rail 42, the lower end of the sleeve 452 engages with the pre-installed bolts on the product 100. The motor 453 drives the coupling 454 to rotate, causing the sleeve 452 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the sleeve 452 enables the bolts to be tightened until the product 100 is tightened.

[0043] In the above design, by mounting the sleeve 452 of the screw fastening machine 45 on the moving plate 435, the movable plate 435 and the center pressure piece 46 with different sleeves 452 can be replaced according to the detachable relationship between the moving plate 435 and the lower horizontal plate 432 to meet the bolts required for different models of products 100.

[0044] Specifically: such as Figure 4 As shown, the helium filling mechanism 5 includes a second support 51 mounted on the frame 1, a second lifting assembly (not shown) mounted on the frame 1 for lifting the fixture 3, a pressing assembly 52 mounted on the second support 51, a first inflation assembly 53 mounted on the second support 51, and a second inflation assembly 54 mounted on the frame 1.

[0045] It should be noted that both air compressors have two air ports (upper and lower). When filling with helium, first use the first filling component 53 to connect with the upper air port to fill with helium, and then disconnect the first filling component 53 from the upper air port; then use the second filling component 54 to connect with the lower air port to fill with helium.

[0046] In actual use, when the fixture 3 moves with the conveyor line 2 to the corresponding position of the helium filling mechanism 5, the second lifting component lifts the fixture 3 from the conveyor line 2, and then the pressing component 52 presses the end cap of the product 100. The first inflation component 53 and the second inflation component 54 inflate the product 100 in sequence.

[0047] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the helium filling mechanism 5 can ensure stable helium filling of the product 100. The first filling component 53 and the second filling component 54 fill the product 100 with helium in sequence, which can achieve a more extensive purging of the inside of the shell and ensure that the water vapor inside the shell is effectively replaced.

[0048] Specifically: such as Figure 5 As shown, the pressing assembly 52 includes a third support 521 mounted on the second support 51, a second linear bearing 522 mounted on the second support 51, a second shaft 523 sleeved on the second linear bearing 522, a third cylinder 524 mounted on the third support 521 for driving the third shaft to rise and fall, and a second pressing head 525 mounted at the lower end of the second shaft 523.

[0049] In actual use, after fixture 3 is lifted by the second lifting assembly, cylinder 3 drives shaft 523 to move downward along linear bearing 522, causing shaft 523 to move pressure head 525 downward and press against end cap of product 100. After product 100 is filled with helium, cylinder 524 drives shaft 523 to move upward, causing pressure head 525 to disengage from product 100.

[0050] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the pressing component 52 can effectively achieve the pressing of the product 100 during inflation.

[0051] Specifically: such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second support 51 is provided with an arc-shaped hole 502 and a first strip-shaped hole 501 extending along the X direction. The first inflation assembly 53 includes a rotating plate 531 rotatably mounted on a second linear bearing 522 at one end, a turntable 532 rotatably mounted on the second linear bearing 522 and bolted to the rotating plate 531 at the upper end face of the second support 51, a moving block 533 slidably connected to the first strip-shaped hole 501 and fixedly connected to the upper end face of the rotating plate 531, a second drive assembly 534 mounted on the second support 51 for driving the moving block 533 to slide along the first strip-shaped hole 501, and a first cylinder 53 mounted on the rotating plate 531. The system includes a second cylinder, a second limiting head 536 located at the upper end of the second cylinder, a first cylinder 537 located at the lower end of the rotating plate 531, a first connecting frame 538 located at the output end of the first cylinder 537, and a first elastic inflatable component 539 located on the first connecting frame 538. The second cylinder is slidably connected to the arc-shaped hole 502, the lower end face of the second limiting head 536 abuts against the second support 51, the moving block 533 is provided with a second strip hole 503 extending along the Y-axis direction, the first cylinder 535 is slidably connected to the second strip hole 503, and the first strip hole 501 is located between the second linear bearing 522 and the arc hole 502.

[0052] It should be noted that this application applies to two products 100. Both products 100 include an upper air port and a lower air port. The angle of the upper air port differs, while the angle of the lower air port is the same. The upper air port corresponds to the first inflation component 53, and the lower air port corresponds to the second inflation component 54. The air port angles of the two products 100 and the first inflation component 53 are inconsistent. Therefore, the first inflation component 53 needs to adjust the angle for both products 100. The second drive component 534 can be either a cylinder or a lead screw; in this embodiment, it is a cylinder.

[0053] In actual use, when product 100 is lifted by the second lifting component along with fixture 3 and pressed by the pressing component 52, the first connecting frame 538 is driven by the first cylinder 537 to move to one side of product 100, so that the first connecting frame 538 drives the first elastic inflatable component 539 to move synchronously, so that the first elastic inflatable component 539 is connected with the upper inflation port of product 100 and inflated, and helium flows out from the lower air port. When changing to product model 100, and the angle of the first elastic inflatable component 539 needs to be adjusted accordingly, the second drive assembly 534 drives the moving block 533 to slide along the first strip hole 501. This causes the inner wall of the second strip hole 503 in the moving block 533 to rub against the first cylinder 535, pushing the first cylinder 535 to move. The first cylinder 535 then drives the rotating plate 531 to rotate around the second linear bearing 522. When the rotating plate 531 rotates, it causes the second cylinder to slide along the arc hole 502, thus adjusting the first cylinder 537, the first connecting frame 538, and the first elastic inflatable component 539 to the appropriate angle. During the rotation of the rotating plate 531, the turntable 532 and the second limit head 536 rotate synchronously.

[0054] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the first inflation component 53 and the second support 51 can adjust the inflation angle for different models of products 100, thereby adapting to the inflation requirements of different products 100.

[0055] Specifically: such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second inflation assembly 54 includes a second base 541 mounted on the frame 1, a second cylinder 542 mounted on the second base 541, a second connecting frame 543 mounted on the output end of the second cylinder 542, and a second elastic inflation member 544 mounted on the second connecting frame 543. The second elastic inflation member 544 has the same structure as the first elastic inflation member 539. The second elastic inflation member 544 includes a second linear bearing 5441 horizontally mounted on the connecting frame, a second column 5442 sleeved on the second linear bearing 5441, a mounting frame 5443 and a limiting plate 5444 respectively mounted at both ends of the second column 5442, an air nozzle 5445 mounted on the mounting frame 5443, and a second spring 5446 sleeved on the second column 5442. The two ends of the second spring 5446 abut against the mounting frame 5443 and the second connecting frame 543 respectively.

[0056] When the second inflation assembly 54 is inflating, helium flows in from the lower air port and flows out from the upper air port. First, the second cylinder 542 drives the second connecting frame 543 to move the second elastic inflation component 544 towards the product 100. During the movement of the second elastic inflation component 544, after the air nozzle 5445 contacts the lower air port of the product 100, the second column 5442 moves away from the product 100 relative to the second linear bearing 5441, causing the second spring 5446 to compress until the second cylinder 542 stops moving. At this time, the air nozzle 5445 is fully connected with the lower air port of the product 100.

[0057] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the second inflation component 54 can effectively achieve docking with the air port of the product 100. The structural design and specific implementation of the second elastic inflation component 544 and the first elastic inflation component 539 facilitate the use of the second spring 5446 for cushioning when docking with the product 100.

[0058] The second embodiment provided in this application is a method for closing and filling an air compressor housing with helium. The method uses the aforementioned air compressor housing closing and helium filling device and includes the following steps: S1, the conveyor line 2 moves the conveyor fixture 3 to the corresponding position of the closing mechanism 4; S2, the closing mechanism 4 closes the housing screws; S3, the conveyor line 2 moves the conveyor fixture 3 to the corresponding position of the helium filling mechanism 5; S4, the helium filling mechanism 5 fills the housing with helium.

[0059] The above design effectively enables the tightening of bolts on the air compressor housing and the filling of the housing with helium after tightening. Helium is used to remove moisture and oxygen from the housing, ensuring that the inside of the housing is dry.

[0060] In further detail, it should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
