Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0018] To address the technical problem of high labor intensity in manually installing pressure gauges and siphon tubes on pressure handles, this invention provides a quick assembly auxiliary device and operation method that eliminates the need for manual twisting and reduces labor intensity.

[0019] It should be noted that the rapid assembly auxiliary equipment and operating method described in this invention are used in, but not limited to, fire extinguishers. For ease of explanation, this invention will only use the application of a rapid assembly auxiliary equipment and operating method to fire extinguishers as an example. The principle of applying a rapid assembly auxiliary equipment and operating method to other types of equipment is essentially the same as that applied to fire extinguishers, and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 8 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a rapid assembly auxiliary device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The rapid assembly auxiliary device includes a workbench 1, an instrument mounting device 2, and a straw mounting device 3. The instrument mounting device 2 is mounted on the top surface of the workbench 1. The instrument mounting device 2 includes a rotating block 21, an L-shaped plate 22, and a first driving member 23. One end of the L-shaped plate 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating block 21, and the other end of the L-shaped plate 22 is suspended directly above the rotating block 21 and has a slot 221. The first driving member 23 is used to drive the rotating block 21 and the L-shaped plate 22 to rotate together with the instrument. The straw mounting device... 3 includes a support component 31, a feeding component 32, a pushing component 33, a retraction component 34, and a rotating component 35. The support component 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the workbench 1. The top of the support component 31 has a feeding port 311. The feeding component 32 is installed on one side of the feeding port 311 and is used to drive the suction tubes through the feeding port 311 one by one. The pushing component 33 is installed on the other side of the feeding port 311 and is used to push the suction tubes after passing through the feeding port 311 into the rotating component 35. The retraction component 34 is installed on the top surface of the workbench 1 and is used to drive the rotating component 35 away from the pushing component 33.

[0021] In this embodiment, the L-shaped plate 22 forms the positioning structure of the instrument. Then, through the pusher component 33, the retraction component 34 and the rotating component 35, one end of the suction tube can be automatically inserted into the rotating component 35 and moved away from the pusher component 33 by the retraction component 34, so that the other end of the suction tube has enough space for installation. The whole process does not require manual twisting. You only need to hold the pressure handle with one hand and align it with the two connection points, which effectively reduces labor intensity and improves assembly efficiency.

[0022] Furthermore, robotic arms can be used to replace manual handling, aligning the pressure handles with the two connection points to achieve fully automated assembly.

[0023] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the insertion of the straw, the tip of the straw should face the rotating component 35.

[0024] It should be noted that the size of the feed inlet 311 is matched with the size of the straw, and only one straw can pass through the feed inlet 311.

[0025] Furthermore, the first drive unit 23 uses a small servo motor.

[0026] Furthermore, the instrument mounting device 2 is provided in pairs, with the two instrument mounting devices 2 respectively installed on both sides of the retracting component 34, thereby enabling two workers to work simultaneously and further improving assembly efficiency.

[0027] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The support assembly 31 includes a horizontal plate 312 and a vertical plate 313. The horizontal plate 312 is fixedly connected to the end of the workbench 1, the bottom of the vertical plate 313 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 312, and the feed port 311 is opened at the top of the vertical plate 313.

[0028] In this embodiment, the horizontal plate 312 is fixedly connected to the end of the workbench 1 by bolts, the vertical plate 313 is perpendicular to the horizontal plate 312 and is fixedly connected by welding, the feeding assembly 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate 313 by bolts, and the pushing assembly 33 is fixedly connected to the other side of the vertical plate 313 by bolts.

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the feed inlet 311 is inclined to facilitate the sliding of the straw.

[0030] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The feeding assembly 32 includes an inclined frame 321, a lifting block 322 and a second driving component 323. The inclined frame 321 is installed on one side of the feed inlet 311. The lifting block 322 is vertically connected between the vertical plate 313 and the inclined frame 321. The second driving component 323 is used to drive the lifting block 322 to lift the suction tubes one by one through the feed inlet 311.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inclined frame 321 is designed so that each straw can slide down onto the lifting block 322 by its own gravity, which facilitates the lifting block 322 to be lifted. The second driving member 323 is a cylinder and is used to drive the lifting block 322 to rise and fall on the side of the vertical plate 313.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the straw during the upward process, the top surface of the lifting block 322 is inclined and forms an acute angle with the side of the vertical plate 313.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the control of the second drive unit 323, a sensor is embedded in the inner wall of the feed port 311 to monitor the number of straws passing through. When the sensor detects that a straw has passed through the feed port 311, the second drive unit 323 stops operating.

[0034] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The feeding assembly 33 includes a slide rail 331, a pusher block 332 and a third drive member 333. The slide rail 331 is installed on the other side of the feed inlet 311. The pusher block 332 is slidably connected to the slide rail 331. The third drive member 333 is used to drive the pusher block 332 to push the suction tube into the rotating assembly 35.

[0035] In this embodiment, the slide rail 331 is V-shaped, which facilitates the movement of the straw in a straight line. The third driving component 333 is a cylinder and is installed at one end of the slide rail 331. The other end of the slide rail 331 is provided with an end head, which has a docking hole. The docking hole is the same size as the straw and is used to assist the straw in being inserted into the rotating component 35.

[0036] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the insertion of the straw into the rotating assembly 35 after passing through the docking hole, the tip of the straw on the slide rail 331 faces the end, and the push block 332 pushes the straw by abutting against the connecting end of the straw.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The retraction component 34 includes a slider 341, a screw 342, and a fourth drive component 343. The screw 342 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the worktable 1. The bottom end of the slider 341 is threaded onto the screw 342. The top end of the slider 341 is fixedly connected to the rotating component 35. The fourth drive component 343 is used to drive the screw 342 to rotate and cause the slider 341 to move away from the slide rail 331 along with the rotating component 35.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fourth driving component 343 is a servo motor, and the slider 341 and the rotating component 35 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The rotating assembly 35 includes a bracket 351, a roller 352 and a fifth driving member 353. The bottom end of the bracket 351 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 341, and the top end of the bracket 351 is rotatably connected to the roller 352. The fifth driving member 353 is mounted on the bracket 351 and is used to drive the roller 352 to rotate with the straw.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bracket 351 and the slider 341 are fixedly connected by bolts. The fifth driving component 353 is a servo motor and is used to drive the roller 352 to rotate, thereby driving the suction tube to rotate as well. The operator can achieve automatic installation by aligning the connection end of the pressure handle and the suction tube.

[0041] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that each straw can be accurately inserted into the roller 352, the roller 352 and the mating hole at the end are always set to be coaxial.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The rotating assembly 35 also includes several spring plates 354, each spring plate 354 being evenly installed on the inner wall of the roller 352 along the circumference of the roller 352.

[0043] In this embodiment, three spring plates 354 are preferably used. One end of the spring plate 354 is hinged to the inner wall of the roller 352, and the spring is installed between the other end of the spring plate 354 and the inner wall of the roller 352 so that the spring plate 354 has a clamping force. The side wall of the spring plate 354 is arc-shaped. The smooth arc-shaped side wall can hold the straw in place, so as to prevent the spring plate 354 from scratching the straw during the insertion and withdrawal process. The function of the spring plate 354 is to clamp the straw so that when the roller 352 rotates, it can drive the straw to rotate together, and prevent the straw from slipping and failing to rotate.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 A pair of rollers 355 are mounted on the top of the bracket 351. The pair of rollers 355 are arranged opposite each other and are tumblingly connected to the outer wall of the drum 352.

[0045] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the roller 352, the support 351 is also provided with a bearing 357. The outer wall of the bearing 357 is fixedly connected to the support 351, and the inner wall of the bearing 357 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the roller 352. The roller 355 and the bearing 357 together support the gravity of the roller 352.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 A transmission belt 356 is provided between the roller 352 and the fifth driving member 353. The transmission belt 356 is connected to the outer wall of the roller 352 and the fifth driving member 353 respectively.

[0047] In this embodiment, a toothed ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the roller 352, and a gear is installed on the movable end of the fifth driving member 353. The transmission belt 356 meshes with the toothed ring and the gear respectively, thereby enabling the fifth driving member 353 to drive the roller 352 to rotate.

[0048] It should be noted that the transmission belt 356 allows the straw to pass through the roller 352, making it easy to insert the straw.

[0049] In one embodiment, it includes: S1. The display end of the pressure gauge is upside down on the rotating block 21, the connection end of the pressure gauge is embedded in the slot 221, the handle of the fire extinguisher is aligned with the connection end of the pressure gauge, the first driving component 23 is activated, thus completing the connection between the pressure gauge and the handle. S2. The second driving component 323 drives a straw through the feed inlet 311 and drops it onto the slide rail 331. The third driving component 333 drives the pusher block 332 to push the straw into the roller 352. The fourth driving component 343 drives the roller 352 to move the straw away from the slide rail 331. The pressure handle of the fire extinguisher is aligned with the connection end of the straw. The fifth driving component 353 is activated, thus completing the connection between the straw and the pressure handle.

[0050] In this embodiment, To better understand this invention, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 8 The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below: ① Pour a large number of straws into the inclined frame 321. It should be noted that the tip of each straw needs to face the direction of the rotating component 35. The straws are manually corrected to ensure that each straw is poured into the inclined frame 321 in the preset direction. ② The second drive unit 323 is activated, and the lifting block 322 lifts a suction tube through the feed inlet 311 and drops it onto the slide rail 331; ③In the initial state, the end of the roller 352 is in contact with the end of the slide rail 331. The third drive unit 333 is activated, and the push block 332 pushes the suction tube so that the tip of the suction tube passes through the docking hole and is inserted into the roller 352. ④ The fourth drive unit 343 drives the slider 341 to move the entire rotating assembly 35 away from the end until there is enough space for the straw to connect with the handle, at which point the fourth drive unit 343 stops. ⑤ The pressure gauge is flipped upside down onto the rotating block 21, the connecting end of the pressure gauge is inserted into the slot 221, the pressure handle is aligned with the connection point of the pressure gauge, and the first driving component 23 is activated, thus realizing the automatic installation of the pressure gauge. ⑥ After installing the pressure gauge, align the pressure handle and the suction tube at the connection point. The fifth drive unit 353 will start, which will realize the automatic installation of the suction tube and complete the assembly of one end cap. This process can be repeated. The whole process does not require workers to manually twist, which reduces labor intensity and improves assembly efficiency.
