Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dispensing equipment technology, and in particular to a hose disassembly and assembly module, a hose disassembly and assembly system, and a disassembly and assembly method thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Existing dispensing equipment typically uses multiple sets of bolts, threaded connections, or complex snap-fit connections for hose installation. When replacing hoses, operators need to use tools such as wrenches to disassemble the fasteners one by one, remove the empty hose, and then manually position and retighten the new hose. At the same time, operators also need to manually connect and adjust the seals of the positive pressure dispensing line.
[0003] The aforementioned traditional hose replacement method has significant shortcomings: on the one hand, the hose replacement process relies on manual operation, which is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and the skill levels of different operators vary, resulting in unstable hose replacement time and difficulty in maintaining consistent hose replacement efficiency; on the other hand, the dispensing equipment needs to be stopped and waited during the hose replacement process, forcing the dispensing operation to be interrupted. The longer the hose replacement time, the greater the impact on the cycle time of the entire production line, thereby directly restricting the overall production efficiency of the dispensing equipment.
[0004] Currently, although some companies are attempting to introduce automated or intelligent equipment to replace dispensing hoses in order to improve the efficiency of hose replacement, the design of existing solutions is usually still based on the mechanized reproduction of the manual hose replacement process, without fundamentally redesigning the hose disassembly and assembly process. For example, the process of manually tightening the hose connector has simply been replaced by a robotic arm or automatic actuator, essentially still using the traditional hose connector structure and replacement method.
[0005] It is evident that while automated hose replacement equipment built upon traditional hose connection processes reduces manual intervention to some extent, it does not significantly shorten replacement time. The replacement process remains complex, the equipment structure is redundant, and maintenance costs are high, making it difficult to meet the continuous operation requirements of high-speed automated production lines for dispensing equipment.
[0006] Therefore, designing a hose disassembly and assembly module that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and has high hose replacement efficiency has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

When the rubber head mating part and the rubber head connector are mated, the first inclined surface is in contact with the third inclined surface, and the second inclined surface is in contact with the fourth inclined surface.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second disassembly and assembly assembly further includes a first clamping unit, the first clamping unit including a first driving member and a first clamping member connected to the first driving member, the first driving member being mounted on a dispensing device; the first driving member is used to drive the first clamping member to move along the docking direction of the glue head docking member, so as to apply a clamping force to the glue head docking member along the docking direction, so that the glue head docking member and the glue head connector remain in close contact and docking.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air tube docking unit includes a hose clamp block detachably mounted on the top of the hose, a positioning member disposed on one side of the hose clamp block, a connecting air tube connected to the hose clamp block, and an air tube docking block connected to the connecting air tube; wherein, a positioning hole is provided on the side of the air tube docking block for positioning and matching with the positioning member.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention discloses a hose disassembly and assembly system, a dispensing device, a hose, and the hose disassembly and assembly module described in the first aspect, wherein the hose is detachably connected to the dispensing device via the hose disassembly and assembly module.
[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a moving body, a robotic arm disposed on the moving body, and a clamping assembly disposed at the free end of the robotic arm; The mobile body is provided with a buffer bracket, which is used to hold the tubing; The robotic arm is used to drive the gripping assembly to grasp the tubing and to connect the first disassembly and assembly docking assembly with the second disassembly and assembly docking assembly.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a vision component disposed on the robotic arm, and a positioning mark disposed on the dispensing device and corresponding to the second disassembly and docking component; The vision component is used to identify the positioning mark to obtain the spatial position information of the corresponding second and third disassembly and docking components. The robotic arm drives the clamping component to move according to the identification result of the vision component to disassemble and assemble the first disassembly and docking component.
[0017] In a third aspect, the present invention also discloses a method for assembling and disassembling a hose, comprising the following steps: S1.

S6. The robotic arm clamps the air pipe docking unit and connects it to the air pipe connector assembly on the dispensing equipment, thereby forming a sealed connection between the adhesive circuit and the air circuit.
[0018] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The hose disassembly and assembly module provided by this invention forms an integrated connection between the hose and the dispensing equipment by setting up a first disassembly and assembly docking component, a second disassembly and assembly docking component, and a third disassembly and assembly docking component. Specifically, the bottom end of the hose connects to the glue head connector on the dispensing equipment via a glue head docking component, allowing direct communication between the glue outlet and glue inlet in the docked state. This enables the hose to complete the glue connection immediately after installation, eliminating the need for thread tightening or multi-stage pipe assembly. The air pipe docking unit at the top of the hose forms a detachable docking connection with the air pipe connector assembly on the dispensing equipment, creating a sealed air circuit connection in the docked state. This allows the hose to be connected to the air circuit immediately after installation, eliminating the need for separate pipe connections or repeated adjustments to the seal, shortening hose replacement time and ensuring the stability of the air supply.
[0019] This invention incorporates a hose disassembly and assembly module between the hose and the dispensing equipment, enabling a detachable connection between the hose and the equipment. When replacing the hose, there is no need to manually disassemble the adhesive and pneumatic connectors one by one using wrenches or other tools, nor is it necessary to repeatedly position and re-tighten the new hose. The hose disassembly and assembly module alone allows for rapid assembly and disassembly of the hose and dispensing equipment. This transforms the traditional method of hose replacement, which relies on manual disassembly and reconnection of interfaces, into a rapid hose replacement method based on a modular interface. This significantly reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operations during hose replacement and minimizes time fluctuations caused by differences in operator skill levels.
[0020] Furthermore, since the hose and dispensing equipment use a unified hose disassembly and assembly module as the connection interface, the hose can be adapted to different dispensing equipment through the same interface structure, avoiding the problem of repeated design and modification caused by inconsistent interface structures between different equipment, and expanding the application range of the hose disassembly and assembly module.
[0021] In summary, this invention integrates the glue circuit interface and the air circuit interface into the same hose disassembly and assembly module, and uses this module as a standardized connection unit between the hose and the dispensing equipment in the hose disassembly and assembly system. This transforms the hose replacement process from the traditional multi-step manual assembly method to a rapid disassembly and assembly method based on the module interface. It fundamentally solves the problems of cumbersome hose replacement process, low hose replacement efficiency, and serious impact on the continuous operation of dispensing equipment in the prior art, and significantly improves the hose replacement efficiency, operational stability, and production line cycle stability of the dispensing equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention. Example 1:
[0026] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a hose disassembly and assembly module for realizing an integrated detachable connection of the adhesive path and air path between the hose 10 and the dispensing device 20. The hose disassembly and assembly module includes a first disassembly and assembly docking component 30, a second disassembly and assembly docking component 40, and a third disassembly and assembly docking component 50.
[0027] The first disassembly and assembly assembly 30 includes a glue head connector 31 detachably connected to the bottom end of the tubing 10, and an air tube connector 32 detachably connected to the top of the tubing 10. The glue head connector 31 has a glue outlet hole 33 for communicating with the inside of the tubing 10; the air tube connector 32 is used for communicating with the inside of the tubing 10.
[0028] The second disassembly and assembly assembly 40 includes a dispensing head 41 and a dispensing head connector 42. The dispensing head 41 is mounted on the dispensing equipment 20. The dispensing head connector 42 is mounted on the bottom of the dispensing head 41. The dispensing head connector 42 has an inlet hole 43 that matches the dispensing outlet hole 33. The dispensing head connector 42 is used to form a detachable mating connection with the dispensing head assembly 31, and in the mating state, the dispensing outlet hole 33 communicates with the inlet hole 43, thereby introducing the adhesive in the dispensing tube 10 into the dispensing head connector 42.
[0029] The glue head connector 42 then introduces the glue from the glue tube 10 into the dispensing head 41, where the glue is heated and softened for dispensing. The dispensing head 41 is generally mounted on the dispensing equipment via a compound motion mechanism, which enables displacement movement to perform dispensing processes at different points or along different lines.
[0030] The third disassembly and docking assembly 50 includes an air pipe connector assembly 51 installed on the dispensing equipment 20. The air pipe connector assembly 51 is used to form a detachable docking connection with the air pipe docking unit 32 and to form a sealed connection with the air pipe docking unit 32 in the docking state.
[0031] The hose disassembly and assembly module, through the combination of the first disassembly and assembly docking component 30, the second disassembly and assembly docking component 40 and the third disassembly and assembly docking component 50, forms an integrated docking interface structure for the glue path and the air path between the hose 10 and the dispensing device 20.
[0032] In the assembled state, the disassembly module connects the nozzle connector 31 at the bottom of the hose 10 with the nozzle connector 42 on the dispensing device 20 in a plug-in detachable connection. This allows the outlet hole 33 on the nozzle connector 31 and the inlet hole 43 on the nozzle connector 42 to communicate directly, forming a glue channel that allows the glue inside the hose 10 to be directly delivered to the nozzle connector 42. The nozzle connector 42 then introduces the glue from the hose 10 into the dispensing head 41, where the glue is heated and softened for dispensing.
[0033] Meanwhile, the air pipe docking unit 32 at the top of the hose 10 forms a detachable docking connection with the air pipe connector assembly 51 on the dispensing equipment 20. In the docking state, a sealed air passage is formed, allowing the air source of the dispensing equipment 20 to enter the air pipe docking unit 32 through the air pipe connector assembly 51 and provide driving air pressure for the delivery of adhesive through the hose 10, thereby completing the air passage connection.
[0034] Therefore, once the hose 10 is installed, the connection between the adhesive line and the air line can be completed simultaneously, without the need for separate connection operations for the adhesive line and the air line.
[0035] In the disassembly state, the hose disassembly module first disconnects the air hose docking unit 32 from the air hose connector assembly 51, and then disconnects the rubber head docking part 31 from the rubber head connector 42. The first disassembly docking assembly 30 can then be used to remove the entire hose 10 from the dispensing equipment 20 without the need for tools such as wrenches to disassemble the rubber and air lines one by one, or to repeatedly position and re-tighten the new hose 10.
[0036] With the above structural configuration, the hose disassembly and assembly module provided in this embodiment constructs an integrated connection interface between the hose 10 and the dispensing device 20 for the glue circuit and the air circuit, so that the glue circuit connection and air circuit access can be completed after the hose 10 is installed in place, without the need for thread tightening or multi-stage pipeline assembly operations.
[0037] During the replacement of hose 10, it is only necessary to disconnect the connection between the hose head connector 31 and the hose head connector 42, and disconnect the connection between the air tube connector unit 32 and the air tube connector assembly 51 to complete the overall disassembly and replacement of hose 10. This transforms the traditional hose replacement method that relies on manual disassembly and reconnection of interfaces one by one into a rapid hose replacement method based on modular interfaces, significantly reducing the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation during hose replacement, and reducing the problem of hose replacement time fluctuations caused by differences in operator proficiency.
[0038] Furthermore, since the hose 10 and the dispensing equipment 20 use a unified hose disassembly and assembly module as the connection interface, the hose 10 can be adapted to different dispensing equipment 20 through the same interface structure, avoiding the problem of repeated design and modification caused by the inconsistency of interface structure between different equipment, and expanding the application range of the hose disassembly and assembly module.
[0039] In summary, this embodiment integrates the glue circuit interface and the air circuit interface into the same glue tube disassembly and assembly module, and uses this module as a standardized connection unit between the glue tube 10 and the dispensing equipment 20. This transforms the glue tube 10 replacement process from the traditional multi-step manual assembly method to a rapid disassembly and assembly method based on the module interface, thereby effectively improving the tube replacement efficiency of the dispensing equipment 20.
[0040] See Figures 4 to 5 As shown, one end of the glue head connector 31 forms a first mating portion 311. A mating protrusion 312 is formed on one side of the first mating portion 311. A glue outlet hole 33 is provided at the first mating portion 311, penetrating the glue head connector 31. Furthermore, the other end of the glue head connector 31 forms a connecting portion 313. The connecting portion 313 is used for detachable connection with the bottom of the glue tube 10, preferably a threaded connection, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the glue head connector 31 and the glue tube 10.
[0041] See Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the glue head connector 42 extends outward from the bottom of the dispensing head 41 to form a second docking part 421, and the second docking part 421 is provided with a docking recess 422 that matches the docking protrusion 312. A glue inlet hole 43 is provided at the second docking part 421 that penetrates the glue head connector 42. When the glue head docking part 31 and the glue head connector 42 are docked, the first docking part 311 and the second docking part 421 are in contact with each other, and the docking protrusion 312 is inserted into the docking recess 422 to form a detachable insertion fit, so that the glue outlet 33 and the glue inlet 43 are connected.
[0042] Specifically, the first docking part 311 has a block-shaped structure, and its end face is set as the docking and fitting surface. The end face of the second docking part 421 is set as the docking and fitting surface corresponding to the first docking part 311. The first docking part 311 and the second docking part 421 are fitted together through their respective end faces.
[0043] During assembly, the tubing 10 moves laterally along the head connector 31, causing the first mating portion 311 to move closer to the second mating portion 421. When the end faces of the first mating portion 311 and the second mating portion 421 come into contact, the mating protrusion 312 is inserted into the mating recess 422 along the opening direction of the mating recess 422, thereby forming a detachable plug-in mating structure.
[0044] After insertion, the glue outlet 33 and the glue inlet 43 are automatically aligned and connected in space, thus forming a stable glue path channel, so that the glue in the glue tube 10 can be transported to the dispensing head 41 for heating and softening through the glue head connector 42.
[0045] During disassembly, simply pull out the rubber head connector 31 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction to release the insertion fit between the protrusion 312 and the recess 422, thereby achieving rapid separation between the rubber head connector 31 and the rubber head connector 42.
[0046] Through the above structural design, this embodiment enables a detachable connection between the glue head connector 31 and the glue head connector 42 via a plug-in method. Simultaneously, the glue outlet 33 and the glue inlet 43 are automatically connected, eliminating the need for threaded tightening or multi-stage pipeline connections to establish the glue path.
[0047] This allows the glue supply channel to be established immediately after the glue hose 10 is installed, which helps to shorten the hose replacement time and reduce the complexity and labor intensity of manual operations. At the same time, docking positioning and position calibration can be performed during this process, which helps to ensure the stability of the glue circuit connection position and the reliability of the glue supply process.
[0048] See Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a first inclined surface 3121 is formed on the upper side of the mating protrusion 312. A second inclined surface 3111 is formed on the bottom of the first mating portion 311 near the mating protrusion 312. An adhesive outlet 33 is provided with an opening at the second inclined surface 3111.
[0049] Specifically, the first inclined surface 3121 and the second inclined surface 3111 are opened to the same side, with the first inclined surface 3121 inclined upward and the second inclined surface 3111 inclined downward.
[0050] By setting an inclined structure on the first mating part 311, the rubber head mating part 31 can automatically adjust its relative position along the inclined direction during the insertion and mating process, thereby playing a guiding role.
[0051] The top surface of the mating recess 422 forms a third inclined surface 4221 that matches the first inclined surface 3121, and the inclination angle of the third inclined surface 4221 is the same as that of the first inclined surface 3121; the second mating portion 421 forms a fourth inclined surface 4222 that matches the second inclined surface 3111, and the inclination angle of the fourth inclined surface 4222 is the same as that of the second inclined surface 3111; the glue inlet hole 43 is provided with an opening at the fourth inclined surface 4222.
[0052] Specifically, as described above, the first inclined surface 3121 and the second inclined surface 3111 are opened to the same side, with the first inclined surface 3121 inclined upward and the second inclined surface 3111 inclined downward. Correspondingly, the third inclined surface 4221 and the fourth inclined surface 4222 are also opened to the same side, with the third inclined surface 4221 inclined downward and having the same inclination angle as the first inclined surface 3121. The fourth inclined surface 4222 is inclined upward and has the same inclination angle as the second inclined surface 3111, so that during the docking process between the glue head docking member 31 and the glue head connecting member 42, the first inclined surface 3121 can fit against the third inclined surface 4221, and the second inclined surface 3111 can fit against the fourth inclined surface 4222.
[0053] During the docking process between the rubber head docking part 31 and the rubber head connector 42, when the first docking part 311 approaches the second docking part 421, the first inclined surface 3121 and the third inclined surface 4221 first come into contact and cooperate, and the second inclined surface 3111 and the fourth inclined surface 4222 simultaneously come into contact and cooperate. Under the guiding action of the inclined surfaces, the first docking part 311 and the second docking part 421 gradually fit together, and guide the docking protrusion 312 to be smoothly inserted along the opening direction of the docking recess 422.
[0054] When inserted into position, the first inclined surface 3121 is in contact with the third inclined surface 4221, and the second inclined surface 3111 is in contact with the fourth inclined surface 4222. Based on the structural design of the first inclined surface 3121 being in contact with the third inclined surface 4221, and the second inclined surface 3111 being in contact with the fourth inclined surface 4222, a tight fit between the rubber head mating part 31 and the rubber head connecting part 42 can be achieved from a mechanical perspective under the action of external force, effectively preventing them from separating or misaligning.
[0055] By setting the above-mentioned inclined guide structure, the glue head docking part 31 has the ability to automatically guide and automatically align during the insertion process, which can effectively reduce the alignment difficulty during assembly, avoid the insertion jamming problem caused by the positioning error of the robotic arm 70, ensure the smooth docking process, and improve the stability and sealing reliability of the glue path connection position.
[0056] In a further embodiment, the bottom of the mating protrusion 312 of the rubber head connector 31 has a downwardly sloping fifth inclined surface (not shown in the figure). The fifth inclined surface is such that the height of the mating protrusion 312 increases as it approaches the first mating portion 311. Furthermore, the inclination angle (angle with the horizontal direction) of the fifth inclined surface is less than or equal to the inclination angle (angle with the horizontal direction) of the first inclined surface. When the inclination angle of the fifth inclined surface is equal to the inclination angle of the first inclined surface, the fifth inclined surface is approximately parallel to the first inclined surface. The minimum setting for the fifth inclined surface is 0°. Additionally, the bottom surface of the mating recess 422 of the rubber head connector 42 has a sixth inclined surface (not shown in the figure) that fits snugly against the fifth inclined surface. The sixth inclined surface is upwardly sloping and opposite to the third inclined surface. The sixth inclined surface is approximately parallel to the fifth inclined surface. Therefore, based on the structural design of the first inclined surface 3121 and the third inclined surface 4221 being fitted together, and the second inclined surface 3111 and the fourth inclined surface 4222 being fitted together, combined with the structural design of the fifth and sixth inclined surfaces, the automatic guidance and alignment capabilities can be further improved during the inclined docking process, the docking accuracy can be improved, and the separation of the glue head docking part 31 and the glue head connecting part 42 after docking can be avoided, thus improving stability.
[0057] See Figures 6 to 8As shown, the second disassembly and docking assembly 40 also includes a first clamping unit 44, which includes a first driving member 441 and a first clamping member 442 (which may be a clamping block) connected to the first driving member 441. The first driving member 441 is mounted on the dispensing device 20. The first driving member 441 is used to drive the first clamping member 442 to move along the docking direction of the dispensing head docking member 31, so as to apply a clamping force to the dispensing head docking member 31 along the docking direction, so that the dispensing head docking member 31 and the dispensing head connector 42 are kept in close contact and docked.
[0058] Specifically, the first driving component 441 can be a cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a servo-driven actuator, and its body is fixedly mounted on the frame of the dispensing equipment 20 or the mounting base of the dispensing head 41. The first clamping component 442 is connected to the output end of the first driving component 441, so that the first clamping component 442 can move toward the end of the dispensing head docking component 31.
[0059] After the rubber head mating part 31 and the rubber head connector 42 are inserted and form a preliminary mating fit, the first driving part 441 is activated, driving the first pressing part 442 to pull back along the mating direction, so that the first pressing part 442 presses against the end of the rubber head mating part 31 or the corresponding force-bearing part, thereby applying a pressing force to the rubber head mating part 31 along the mating direction, so that the first mating part 311 and the second mating part 421 are kept in a tight fit.
[0060] Under the compressed state, the mating surfaces between the glue head mating part 31 and the glue head connector 42 are stably pressed together, so that the glue outlet 33 and the glue inlet 43 maintain reliable mating in the mating direction, thereby ensuring the sealing and stability of the glue path channel and avoiding changes in the mating gap due to vibration or pressure fluctuations during the glue dispensing process.
[0061] When it is necessary to disassemble the hose 10, the first driving member 441 moves in the opposite direction, driving the first clamping member 442 to move forward, releasing the clamping force on the hose head connector 31, so that the hose head connector 31 returns to the detachable state, thereby facilitating the hose head connector 31 to be pulled out from the hose head connector 42 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction, and realizing quick disassembly.
[0062] With the above structural configuration, this embodiment adds a first pressing unit 44 to the plug-in connection between the glue head mating part 31 and the glue head connector 42, so that the plug-in connection is transformed from a simple plug-in fit into a composite connection method that combines plug-in fit and axial pressing, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the glue circuit connection.
[0063] See Figures 4 to 5As shown, the air hose docking unit 32 includes a hose clamp 321 detachably mounted on the top of the hose 10, a positioning member 322 disposed on one side of the hose clamp 321, a connecting air hose 323 connected to the hose clamp 321, and an air hose docking block 324 connected to the connecting air hose 323; wherein, a positioning hole 325 is provided on the side of the air hose docking block 324 for positioning and matching with the positioning member 322. The positioning member 322 can preferably be a positioning pin.
[0064] Specifically, the hose clamp 321 is installed at the top end of the hose 10 to clamp and fix the end of the hose 10 and to serve as the mounting base for the air hose docking unit 32. A positioning element 322 is provided on one side of the hose clamp 321. The positioning element 322 extends horizontally and is used to provide a directional positioning reference during the air hose docking process.
[0065] One end of the connecting air tube 323 is fixedly connected and communicates with the hose clamp 321, and the other end is connected and communicates with the air tube docking block 324, so that the hose 10 and the air tube docking block 324 form a communication channel. The air tube docking block 324 serves as an interface component for docking with the air tube connector assembly 51 on the dispensing device 20, and its side is provided with a positioning hole 325 that matches the positioning component 322.
[0066] After the positioning member 322 is inserted into the positioning hole 325, a relative position constraint is formed between the air tube docking unit 32 and the rubber tube 10, so that the air tube docking block 324 is in a temporary positioning and fixed state during the movement of the rubber tube 10 (such as during the movement with the robotic arm 70), so that the rubber head docking member 31 can dock with the rubber head connector 42 on the dispensing device. This avoids the air tube docking block 324 from swinging or rotating due to the flexibility of the connecting air tube 323 or the self-weight of the air tube docking unit 32, which would interfere with the docking process of the rubber head docking member 31 and the rubber head connector 42 and cause docking instability.
[0067] After the glue head docking part 31 and glue head connector 42 are docked, when air tube docking is required, the positioning part 322 is pulled out from the positioning hole 325, so that the air tube docking block 324 of the air tube docking unit 32 is restored to a freely dockable state, and then the air tube docking block 324 is docked with the air tube connector assembly 51 on the dispensing equipment 20.
[0068] In addition, a magnetic block 326 is provided on one side of the trachea connecting block 324. The magnetic block 326 is used to generate a magnetic attraction with the tubing clamp block 321 or the metal structure connected to the tubing clamp block 321.
[0069] With this magnetic adsorption structure, after the positioning member 322 is inserted into the positioning hole 325, the air tube docking block 324 can form an auxiliary adsorption fixation with the hose clamp block 321 under the action of magnetic attraction, thereby further enhancing the temporary fixation stability between the air tube docking unit 32 and the hose 10.
[0070] After the positioning member 322 is inserted into the positioning hole 325, the positioning member 322 and the positioning hole 325 together constrain the relative position between the air tube docking unit 32 and the hose 10. The magnetic block 326 provides additional holding force, so that the air tube docking unit 32 is in a temporary fixed position during the movement of the hose 10 with the moving mechanism (such as the robotic arm 70).
[0071] In this state, the air tube docking block 324 will not swing or rotate due to the flexibility of the connecting air tube 323 or its own gravity, thereby avoiding interference with the docking process of the rubber head docking part 31 and the rubber head connector 42.
[0072] Meanwhile, a clamping and positioning block 327 can also be provided on one side of the trachea docking block 324. A clamping and positioning groove 3271 is formed on the clamping and positioning block 327, which is used to cooperate with the clamping component 80 at the end of the robotic arm 70 to achieve stable clamping and attitude constraint of the trachea docking block 324.
[0073] By cooperating with the clamping positioning block 327 and the clamping positioning groove 3271, the air tube docking block 324 can maintain a consistent posture during the process of being gripped or released by the robotic arm 70, thereby further improving the stability of the automatic docking process.
[0074] After the nozzle docking part 31 and nozzle connector 42 are docked, when air hose docking is required, the positioning part 322 is pulled out of the positioning hole 325, and the magnetic block 326 and the hose clamp 321 are released from their adsorption state, allowing the air hose docking unit 32 to return to a relatively free state. At this time, the robotic arm 70 drives the air hose docking block 324 to dock with the air hose connector assembly 51 on the dispensing device 20, thereby completing the air circuit connection.
[0075] See Figures 1 to 2 ,as well as Figure 9 As shown, the air pipe connector assembly 51 includes an air pipe connecting block 511 fixedly installed on the dispensing equipment 20 and an air pipe connector 512 installed on the air pipe connecting block 511. The air pipe connecting block 511 serves as an air circuit mounting base, and has an internal gas channel that communicates with the internal air source pipeline of the dispensing equipment 20; the air pipe connector 512 is installed on the air pipe connecting block 511 and is used to form an air circuit connection interface with the external air pipe docking block 324.
[0076] In this embodiment, the endotracheal connector assembly 51 and the endotracheal docking block 324 adopt a plug-in docking structure, with one side having a docking post (not shown in the figure) and the other side having a matching docking hole (not shown in the figure). When the endotracheal docking block 324 moves to the docking position of the endotracheal connector assembly 51, the docking post is inserted into the docking hole, so that the endotracheal docking block 324 and the endotracheal connector assembly 51 are initially positioned in space and the air passage is aligned.
[0077] Furthermore, the third disassembly and assembly assembly 50 also includes a second clamping unit 52. After the above-mentioned insertion and positioning are completed, the second clamping unit 52 applies a clamping force to the air pipe docking block 324 along the docking direction, so that the air pipe docking block 324 and the air pipe connector assembly 51 are kept in a close fit, thereby forming a stable and reliable sealed connection.
[0078] The second clamping unit 52 includes a second driving component 521 and a second clamping component 522 connected to the second driving component 521. The second driving component 521 is fixedly installed on the body of the dispensing device 20, and the second clamping component 522 is located on the docking direction side of the air pipe docking block 324. The second driving component 521 can be a cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a servo actuator, and its output end is connected to the second clamping component 522 to drive the second clamping component 522 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the air pipe docking direction.
[0079] After the tracheal connector block 324 is inserted into the tracheal connector assembly 51 and completes the initial positioning, the second driving member 521 is activated, pulling the second pressing member 522 towards the tracheal connector block 324, so that the second pressing member 522 presses against the force-bearing surface of the tracheal connector block 324, thereby applying a pressing force to the tracheal body along the docking direction, so that the tracheal connector block 324 and the tracheal connector assembly 51 remain in a continuous fit.
[0080] In this compressed state, the internal channel of the air tube docking block 324 and the internal channel of the air tube connecting block 511 form a stable connection, which, together with the sealing structure (such as sealing ring, conical sealing surface, etc.), forms a reliable airtight connection, avoiding air circuit loosening or air leakage due to air pressure fluctuations or mechanical vibration during the dispensing process.
[0081] When it is necessary to disassemble the air tube, the second drive component 521 moves in the opposite direction, driving the second clamping component 522 to retract, so that the air tube docking block 324 is released from the clamping force constraint applied in the docking direction, and the air tube docking block 324 can leave in the opposite direction of the docking direction, thereby completing the rapid disassembly of the air circuit.
[0082] With the above structural design, this embodiment uses a combination of plug-in positioning and axial compression to connect the air pipe docking block 324 and the air pipe connector assembly 51. This ensures docking efficiency while maintaining the stability and sealing reliability of the air circuit connection, avoiding problems such as long assembly time, high manual dependence, and unstable sealing status that exist in traditional threaded connection methods. Example 2:
[0083] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment 2 provides a hose disassembly and assembly system, which includes a dispensing device 20, a hose 10, and the hose disassembly and assembly module of embodiment 1. The hose 10 is detachably connected to the dispensing device 20 through the hose disassembly and assembly module.
[0084] The first disassembly and assembly assembly 30 includes a glue head connector 31 and an air tube connector 32, which are respectively installed at the bottom and top of the glue tube 10. The second disassembly and assembly assembly 40 is installed on one side of the dispensing equipment 20 and includes a dispensing head 41 and a glue head connector 42. The third disassembly and assembly assembly 50 is installed on one side of the dispensing equipment 20 and includes an air tube connector assembly 51.
[0085] When assembling the hose disassembly and assembly system, the hose 10 is connected to the glue head connector 42 on the dispensing equipment 20 by connecting the glue head connector 31 to the glue head connector 42 on the dispensing equipment 20, thereby forming a communication channel between the hose 10 and the glue path inside the dispensing equipment 20. At the same time, the air pipe connector unit 32 is connected to the air pipe connector assembly 51 on the dispensing equipment 20, thereby forming a communication channel between the hose 10 and the air path inside the dispensing equipment 20, thus realizing the synchronous connection of the glue delivery channel and the air source channel.
[0086] With the above structural design, the hose 10 and the dispensing equipment 20 use a unified hose disassembly and assembly module as the connection interface. When the hose 10 is replaced, there is no need to disassemble and reassemble the glue line interface and the air line interface separately. The assembly or disassembly of the entire hose 10 can be achieved by simply connecting the glue line and the air line synchronously through the hose disassembly and assembly module.
[0087] This hose disassembly and assembly system transforms the traditional hose replacement method, which relies on manual disassembly of each hose and air line connector, into a modular hose replacement method. This avoids positioning errors and sealing risks caused by repeated assembly of multiple interfaces, improves hose replacement efficiency, reduces the complexity of manual operation, and ensures the consistency and reliability of the hose and air line connection status.
[0088] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the hose disassembly and assembly system also includes a movable body 60, a robotic arm 70 mounted on the movable body 60, and a clamping assembly 80 located at the end of the robotic arm 70.
[0089] The mobile body 60 can be an AGV trolley or a track-mounted mobile platform, on which a buffer bracket 90 is installed. The buffer bracket 90 is used to hold the hose 10 pre-installed with the first disassembly and docking assembly 30. The buffer bracket 90 is provided with several buffer slots 91, each buffer slot 91 is used to limit and accommodate a single hose 10, so that multiple hoses 10 can be grouped and buffered according to the work station cycle to meet the continuous hose replacement requirements of the production line.
[0090] The robotic arm 70 is mounted on the mobile body 60 and can move with the mobile body 60 to the loading station of the dispensing equipment 20. The end of the robotic arm 70 is equipped with a gripping component 80, which is used to grasp, transport and dock the glue tube 10.
[0091] During the tube replacement process, the robotic arm 70 drives the clamping assembly 80 to grab the tube 10 on the buffer bracket 90 and remove the target tube 10 from the corresponding buffer slot 91. The tube 10 is then transported to the docking station of the dispensing equipment 20, so that the glue head docking part 31 at the bottom of the tube 10 docks with the second disassembly docking assembly 40 on the dispensing equipment 20. At the same time, the air tube docking unit 32 at the top of the tube 10 docks with the third disassembly docking assembly 50 on the dispensing equipment 20.
[0092] With the above-mentioned structural design, the buffer slot 91 limits and orients the hose 10, which facilitates the robotic arm 70 to stably grasp and position the hose 10, transforming the hose replacement process from manual operation to automated mechanical execution. This helps to improve the stability of the hose replacement cycle and reduce the uncertainty caused by human intervention.
[0093] Specifically, the clamping assembly 80 includes a mounting flange 81, a clamping block 82, and an electric gripper 83. The mounting flange 81 is fixedly disposed at the end of the robotic arm 70 to achieve a rigid connection between the clamping assembly 80 and the robotic arm 70, and to provide an installation reference for the clamping assembly 80.
[0094] The electric gripper 83 is mounted on the mounting flange 81. The electric gripper 83 includes a pair of gripping claws that can be opened and closed relative to each other. The pair of gripping claws are respectively connected to a pair of gripping blocks 82. The electric gripper 83 controls the opening or closing of the gripping claws through an internal drive mechanism to realize the opening and closing of the gripping blocks 82.
[0095] A clamping groove 821 for clamping the hose 10 is formed on the clamping block 82. The clamping groove 821 extends along the axial direction of the hose 10 and its groove shape matches the shape of the hose 10. It is used to clamp and limit the hose 10 during the handling and head docking process, so that the hose 10 maintains a stable posture during the movement of the robotic arm 70.
[0096] A clamping protrusion 822 is formed at the front end of the clamping block 82 and near the clamping groove 821. The clamping protrusion 822 is used to cooperate with the clamping positioning block 327 on the air tube docking unit 32, so that the air tube docking unit 32 is clamped and driven to move by the clamping component 80 during the air tube docking stage, thereby accurately moving the air tube docking block 324 to the position to dock with the air tube connector component 51 on the dispensing device 20.
[0097] Therefore, the clamping groove 821 and the clamping protrusion 822 correspond to different clamping objects: the clamping groove 821 is used to clamp the rubber tube 10 to complete the handling and positioning during the rubber head docking process, and the clamping protrusion 822 is used to clamp the air tube docking unit 32 to complete the driving and positioning during the air tube docking process. The two are used in stages during the working process without interfering with each other.
[0098] Through the above structural design, the clamping component 80 can stably clamp the hose 10 during the hose 10 docking stage and stably clamp the air pipe docking unit 32 during the air pipe docking stage, thereby meeting the step-by-step execution requirements of hose 10 docking and air pipe docking during the hose 10 disassembly and assembly process, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the docking process.
[0099] See Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the hose disassembly and assembly system also includes a vision component 100 disposed at the free end of the robotic arm 70, and a positioning mark 110 disposed on the dispensing device 20 and corresponding to the second disassembly and assembly docking component 40. The vision component 100 is used to identify the positioning marker 110 to obtain the spatial position information of the corresponding second and third disassembly and docking components 40 and 40. Based on the identification result of the vision component 100, the robotic arm 70 drives the gripping component 80 to transport the tubing 10 connected to the first disassembly and docking component 30 to the target position, so as to realize the docking of the first and second disassembly and docking components 40. In addition, based on the identification result of the vision component 100, the robotic arm 70 drives the gripping component 80 to move the trachea docking block of the trachea docking unit of the third disassembly and docking component to the docking position with the trachea connector component 51 for docking.
[0100] Specifically, the vision component 100 includes an industrial camera 101, a ring light source 102, a mounting bracket 103, and a camera bracket 104. The mounting bracket 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting flange 81. The camera bracket 104 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 103. The industrial camera 101 is mounted on the camera bracket 104 and passes through the mounting bracket 103. The ring light source 102 is mounted below the mounting bracket 103 and located around the lens of the industrial camera 101, providing uniform illumination to the positioning mark 110 area to improve visual recognition stability and image contrast. The positioning mark 110 can be a QR code.
[0101] During the tube replacement process, the vision component 100 identifies the positioning mark 110 to obtain the spatial position information of the rubber head connector 42 and the air tube connector assembly 51. Based on the position information fed back by the vision component 100, the robotic arm 70 adjusts the spatial pose of the gripped rubber tube 10 and precisely moves the rubber head docking part 31 at the bottom of the rubber tube 10 to the docking position of the rubber head connector 42, achieving automatic docking.
[0102] The vision component 100 avoids docking failures caused by equipment installation errors, workstation deviations, and other factors during the hose docking process, thereby improving the reliability of the automatic hose replacement process. Example 3:
[0103] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment 3 provides a hose disassembly and assembly method, which is implemented using the hose disassembly and assembly system in embodiment 2 above, and includes the following steps: S1. Pre-installation of hose: The hose 10 is pre-installed by installing the hose head connector 31 at the bottom of the hose 10 and connecting the air hose connector 32 to the top of the hose 10, so that the hose 10 is equipped with a hose connection interface and an air connection interface in advance, thereby forming a standardized hose replacement unit.
[0104] S2. Cache storage: Place the pre-installed tubing 10 on the cache bracket 90 for cache storage. Multiple tubing 10s can be grouped and stored in batches to meet the needs of rapid tubing replacement in continuous production processes.
[0105] S3. Material feeding and conveying: The buffer bracket 90 is conveyed to the feeding station of the dispensing equipment 20 via the moving main body 60. It should be noted that both the buffer bracket 90 and the robotic arm 70 are mounted on the moving main body 60, and the buffer bracket 90 is located within the working range of the robotic arm 70.
[0106] S4. Grasping and Identification: The robotic arm 70 grasps the tube 10 on the buffer bracket 90 and identifies the positioning mark 110 on the dispensing device 20 corresponding to the dispensing head connector 42 through the vision component 100, thereby obtaining the spatial position information of the dispensing head connector 42 and the air pipe connector assembly 51.
[0107] S5. Adhesive path docking: Based on the positioning result identified by the vision component 100, the robotic arm 70 clamps the pre-installed adhesive tube 10 and moves it to the docking station of the dispensing equipment 20, so that the adhesive head docking part 31 at the bottom of the adhesive tube 10 docks with the adhesive head connector 42, and the adhesive outlet 33 of the adhesive tube 10 is connected to the adhesive inlet 43 of the adhesive head connector 42.
[0108] S6. Air Path Connection: Based on the positioning result identified by the vision component 100, the robotic arm 70 clamps the air pipe connection unit 32 and connects it with the air pipe connector assembly 51 on the dispensing device 20, thereby forming a sealed connection between the glue path and the air path, completing the overall connection between the glue tube 10 and the dispensing device 20.
[0109] Through the above-described process, the replacement of hose 10 is transformed from manual disassembly and assembly of interfaces to an automated modular hose replacement process, which significantly shortens the hose replacement time and improves the continuous operation capability of the dispensing equipment 20.
[0110] Specifically, the method for disassembling and assembling the hose is as follows: S0. The employee performs manual glue mixing and pre-processes the new glue tube 10 by manually removing the glue head at the bottom of the glue tube 10 and the glue plug at the end of the glue tube 10, so that the glue tube 10 is in an assembly-ready state.
[0111] S1. Hose pre-assembly process: Before replacing the hose, the hose 10 is pre-installed: the hose head connector 31 is manually installed at the bottom of the hose 10 to form a standardized hose interface.
[0112] At the same time, the air hose docking unit 32 is installed on the top of the hose 10, so that the top of the hose 10 forms a standardized air passage interface; the hose 10 after pre-installation forms an integrated replacement hose assembly.
[0113] After pre-installation, a rubber plug 328 is used to seal and protect the air passage interface of the air pipe docking unit 32 (for example, to seal the air passage docking part of the air pipe docking block 324) to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering and reduce contamination of the interface; the rubber plug 328 is removed before air passage docking.
[0114] S2, Buffer Loading Process: The pre-installed tubing 10 is placed as a group on the buffer rack for storage. The buffer rack 90 is provided with multiple buffer slots 91, each buffer slot 91 is used to vertically limit the placement of one tubing 10, keeping the tubing 10 in a stable and upright state to prevent tipping, collision or deformation of the interface due to stress. Multiple tubing 10s are stored as a group on the buffer rack to form a standard tubing replacement unit.
[0115] S3, Buffer rack conveying process: The mobile body 60 (such as an AGV or a railcar) carries the buffer bracket 90 and the robotic arm 70 and moves as a whole to the loading station corresponding to the dispensing equipment 20, and stops at the preset stopping position, so that the mobile body 60 and the dispensing equipment 20 form a stable relative positional relationship.
[0116] After the mobile body 60 stops, the buffer bracket 90, the robotic arm 70 and the clamping assembly 80 are all in the working position corresponding to the dispensing equipment 20.
[0117] S4. Hose gripping and vision positioning process: The robotic arm 70 moves above the buffer rack and uses the gripping component 80 to grasp the tubing 10 in the buffer slot 91.
[0118] The clamping assembly 80 clamps the tube 10 through the clamping groove 821 on the clamping block 82, so that the tube 10 maintains a stable posture during the gripping process.
[0119] Subsequently, the robotic arm 70 removes the rubber plug 328 from the tracheal connection unit 32, making the tracheal interface ready for connection.
[0120] Next, the vision component 100 is activated to identify the positioning mark 110 on the dispensing device 20 that corresponds to the dispensing head connector 42, and to obtain the precise position information of the dispensing head connector 42 and the air pipe connector assembly 51 in space.
[0121] S5. Automatic glue path docking process: Guided by the vision component 100, the robotic arm 70 drives the clamping component 80 to move the glue tube 10 to the glue path docking station of the dispensing equipment 20, and aligns the glue head docking part 31 with the glue head connector 42 on the dispensing equipment 20.
[0122] The robotic arm 70 moves along the insertion direction of the rubber head docking part 31 and the rubber head connector 42, so that the rubber head docking part 31 is inserted into the rubber head connector 42 and the insertion and docking are completed.
[0123] After the rubber head mating part 31 is inserted into place, the first pressing unit 44 is activated to apply a pressing force to the rubber head mating part 31 along the mating direction, so that the rubber head mating part 31 and the rubber head connector 42 maintain a stable fit.
[0124] Under the pressing action of the first pressing unit 44, a stable glue channel is formed between the glue outlet hole 33 of the glue head docking part 31 and the glue inlet hole 43 of the glue head connector 42.
[0125] This process requires no thread tightening or manual alignment; simply insert the plug to complete the adhesive connection.
[0126] S6. Automatic gas line docking process: After the adhesive circuit is connected, the robotic arm 70 adjusts its clamping posture so that the clamping component 80 and the air tube docking unit 32 are properly aligned.
[0127] Guided by the vision component 100, the robotic arm 70 grips the air tube docking block 324 and moves it to the position of the air tube connector assembly 51 on the dispensing device 20, so that the air tube docking block 324 and the air tube connector assembly 51 can be inserted and docked.
[0128] The trachea connecting block 324 and the trachea connector assembly 51 are respectively provided with connecting posts and connecting holes, forming an axial positioning fit after being inserted into place, and forming a sealed air passage through the sealing structure.
[0129] Subsequently, the second clamping unit 52 is activated, applying a clamping force to the air pipe docking block 324 along the docking direction, so that the air pipe docking block 324 and the air pipe connector assembly 51 maintain a stable fit, thereby ensuring the sealing and reliability of the air circuit connection.
[0130] The above describes the assembly method for the hose. The disassembly method is the exact opposite of the assembly method, i.e., first disconnect the air circuit connection, and then disconnect the hose circuit connection.
[0131] Specifically, firstly, the second pressing unit 52 is controlled to release the pressing action on the tracheal connector block 324, so that the tracheal connector block 324 and the tracheal connector assembly 51 are released from the contact state; then, it moves in the opposite direction along the insertion direction of the tracheal connector block 324 and the tracheal connector assembly 51, so that the tracheal connector block 324 and the tracheal connector assembly 51 are separated, thereby completing the release of the airway connection.
[0132] After the air circuit connection is released, the first pressing unit 44 is first controlled to release the pressing effect on the rubber head docking part 31; then the rubber head docking part 31 is moved in the opposite direction of the insertion direction, so that the rubber head docking part 31 and the rubber head connector 42 are disconnected, thereby completing the release of the rubber circuit connection.
[0133] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
