Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of metal plastic forming equipment, and in particular to the technical field of an automatic heating and riveting device for valves and pipe fittings. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of valves and pipe fittings, riveting equipment is required for riveting processing. Riveting is a common connection and fixing process.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202022124500.X discloses a pipe fitting riveting device. The frame is equipped with a rivet rod and a driving component for driving the rivet rod to move up and down. The bottom end of the rivet rod is equipped with an upper die, and the frame is equipped with an upper die positioning component. The upper die positioning component includes a fixed plate set on the frame, and the fixed plate is provided with a through mounting hole for the rivet rod to pass through. The frame is equipped with a transmission component for driving the rivet rod to move up and down. However, the method still has shortcomings. It uses a cylinder to apply pressure to the pipe fitting sleeved on the fixed rod and with the rivet in place to complete the riveting, but the suspended connection of the two pipe fittings is prone to deformation due to excessive force.

[0004] Chinese Patent Application No. CN218612693U discloses a hardware hanger riveting device, including a frame, a vibratory feeding system, a receiving and feeding system, and a riveting system. The frame is used to install the vibratory feeding system, the receiving and feeding system, and the riveting system. The vibratory feeding system is used to feed and transfer the hardware hanger to the receiving and feeding system. The receiving and feeding system is used to receive the hardware hanger fed and transferred by the vibratory feeding system and to transfer the hardware hanger to the riveting system. The riveting system rivets the hardware hanger transferred by the receiving and feeding system onto a density board. However, this method still has shortcomings. During riveting, pressure is applied directly to the riveted parts in one go, which cannot disperse and transfer the stress around the riveting point. This leads to local stress concentration on the riveted parts, resulting in cracks and affecting the strength and durability of the riveted parts.

[0005] Traditional cold riveting processes have the following drawbacks: existing processing methods suffer from uneven heating, inaccurate temperature control, low efficiency, or damage to non-riveting areas. At the moment of riveting, enormous pressure is concentrated near the riveting point, causing high stress concentration in that area. This instantaneous high stress can easily cause cracks in the workpiece, resulting in product scrap, low yield, and high production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and to propose an automatic heating and riveting device for valve fittings, which can effectively prevent valve fittings from cracking due to stress concentration during the riveting process and improve the yield of valve fittings.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes an automatic heating and riveting device for valve fittings, comprising a frame, a worktable, a fitting clamping device, a riveting head, a medium-frequency induction heating coil, a drive system, a temperature detection device, a microcontroller automatic control system, and a touch screen display.

The top of the riveting head is connected to the drive system, and the top of the drive system is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the frame. Several temperature detection devices are arranged around the riveting head on the side of the frame. A microcontroller automatic control system is installed inside the frame, and is connected to the drive system, the medium-frequency induction heating coil, and the temperature detection devices. A touch screen display is located on the side of the frame and is connected to the microcontroller automatic control system.

[0008] Preferably, the pipe clamping device includes a fixed base, a lead screw, an adjusting knob, a movable clamping block, and an anti-slip rubber pad. The fixed base is fixedly mounted on the workbench, and the lead screw is mounted on the fixed base. One end of the lead screw is connected to the adjusting knob, and the other end of the lead screw is connected to the movable clamping block. An anti-slip rubber pad is provided on the inner side of the movable clamping block.

[0009] Preferably, the drive system includes a servo hydraulic cylinder, which is vertically mounted on the upper part of the frame. The piston rod of the servo hydraulic cylinder is connected to a riveting head. A medium-frequency induction heating coil is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the lower end of the riveting head through an insulating bracket. The medium-frequency induction heating coil is in an insulated contact or non-contact state with the riveting head and valve fittings. When the valve fittings are fed into the fitting clamping device, the riveting point is located within the magnetic field range of the medium-frequency induction heating coil.

[0010] Preferably, the temperature detection device is an infrared thermometer, which is fixed to the side wall of the frame body by a bracket, and the detection end of the temperature detection device is directly facing the riveting point of the valve fitting.

[0011] Preferably, the microcontroller-based automatic control system uses an STC89C52 microcontroller as its core, and is equipped with a minimum system circuit, a watchdog circuit, and a PWM control circuit. The minimum system circuit includes a reset circuit and a clock circuit. The reset circuit includes a push-button switch S1, an energy storage capacitor C1, and a pull-down resistor R1. The clock circuit includes a crystal oscillator U2 and filter capacitors C2 and C3.

[0012] Preferably, the microcontroller-based automatic control system is electrically connected to the IGBT module via a drive circuit module, and the IGBT module is electrically connected to the intermediate frequency induction heating coil. The drive circuit module includes a drive chip with electrical isolation, a current-limiting resistor R5, and a power amplifier push-pull circuit composed of complementary transistors. The drive chip receives the PWM speed control signal output by the microcontroller-based automatic control system, and after being amplified by the push-pull circuit, it is connected to the gate of the IGBT module through a gate-on resistor R6 and a gate-off resistor R7 to control the high-frequency current switching frequency of the intermediate frequency induction heating coil.

[0013] Preferably, the driver chip with electrical isolation function is a TLP5214 chip, and the push-pull circuit is connected to a +15V turn-on voltage and a -9V turn-off negative voltage, respectively.

[0014] Preferably, the touch display includes an LCD1602 liquid crystal display module and a button control module; the button control module is used to set the target heating temperature, the heat preservation time and the heating output time, and the LCD1602 liquid crystal display module is used to display the current measured temperature, the set temperature and the working status of the device in real time.

[0015] Preferably, the microcontroller automatic control system monitors the real-time temperature data of the temperature detection device, and adjusts the output power of the medium-frequency induction heating coil through a PID algorithm based on the difference between the real-time temperature data and the preset target temperature. When the real-time temperature data reaches the preset target temperature, the control drive system drives the riveting head downward to complete the riveting action.

[0016] Preferably, when the real-time temperature approaches the preset target temperature, the microcontroller automatic control system automatically adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal to reduce the heating power and enters the constant temperature holding stage; after the constant temperature holding time reaches the set value, the drive system is then controlled to drive the riveting head downward for riveting.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention can automatically heat valve fittings locally during the riveting process, reducing the yield strength of the fitting material and increasing its plasticity, making the fitting less prone to cracking during riveting. It effectively eliminates cracks caused by stress concentration. The movable clamping block is connected to an adjusting knob via a lead screw. Rotating the lead screw moves the movable clamping block, thereby clamping the fitting. An anti-slip rubber pad is affixed to the inner surface of the movable clamping block, preventing displacement of the workpiece under high riveting pressure and avoiding damage to the workpiece surface. The push-pull circuit is connected to a +15V turn-on voltage and a -9V turn-off negative voltage to ensure the reliability of the IGBT module during induction heating. The output of the push-pull circuit is connected to the gate of the IGBT through an asymmetrically set gate-on resistor R6 and gate-off resistor R7, thereby precisely controlling the intermediate frequency induction heating. The high-frequency current switching frequency of the heating coil is controlled by IGBT, and the heating power is adjusted by changing the PWM duty cycle. The system also includes a watchdog circuit for automatic microcontroller reset to ensure safe operation of the equipment under high temperature and high pressure. The LCD1602 liquid crystal display circuit can display two lines, each with 16 characters. It has the advantages of small size, low energy loss, and clear content. This circuit is connected to the microcontroller's data port through pins 7-14 to achieve parallel data transmission. Pin 3 is connected through a voltage divider circuit composed of resistors R4 and R5 to fix the contrast, ensuring that the equipment can clearly read the real-time temperature data fed back by the infrared thermometer in the complex environment of the riveting station. This effectively prevents valves and fittings from cracking due to stress concentration during the riveting process and improves the yield rate of valves and fittings.
