[0028] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the zipper thread online processing device of the utility model includes a transfer mechanism 41, a material clamping assembly 42, an inner liner tube cutting mechanism 43, an inner liner tube length fixing mechanism 44, a hot stamping mechanism 45, a primary shaping mechanism 453, a positioning mechanism 46, a detection mechanism 47, and a secondary shaping mechanism 48;

[0030] (1) Transfer mechanism 41 and material clamping assembly 42

[0031] The transfer mechanism 41 includes a transfer frame 411 and a transfer cylinder 412, and the transfer cylinder 412 is connected to the transfer frame 411; the clamping assembly 42 includes a clamping cylinder, and a plurality of clamping cylinders form a group of clamping assemblies 42, and the transfer frame 411 is provided with a plurality of clamping assemblies 42;

[0032] The clamping cylinder is an existing clamping device, which consists of a cylinder and a clamping jaw. Before clamping, the clamping jaws are kept in an open state. The sleeve clamping cylinder of the sleeve feeding device 1 clamps the sleeve 6 to the top of the first group of clamping components 42. The sleeve clamping cylinder of the sleeve feeding device 1 releases the sleeve 6, and the first group of clamping components 42 clamps the sleeve 6; the transfer cylinder 412 controls the transfer frame 411 to flow in the direction of the assembly production line, and the first group of clamping components 42 brings the sleeve 6 to the pipe threading station. At the same time, the second group of clamping components 42 arrives below the sleeve clamping cylinder of the sleeve feeding device 1, and clamps the second sleeve 6 like the first group of clamping components 42; the remaining clamping components 42 gradually move forward with the movement of the transfer frame 411.

[0033] Preferably, a group of clamping components 42 is provided with four clamping cylinders. Compared with the conventional two-cylinder clamping structure, the advantage is that the four-cylinder clamping structure can not only clamp the two ends of the product, but also clamp and lift the middle part of the product, so as to avoid some products being too long and causing the middle part of the product to sag, affecting the assembly accuracy.

[0034] The transfer frame 411 is provided with a first positioning mechanism 49, which is provided with a first positioning frame 491 and a first positioning drive assembly 492. Two clamping cylinders of each set of clamping assemblies 42 are located on the first positioning frame 491, and the first positioning drive assembly 492 is connected to the bottom of the first positioning frame 491. The first positioning drive assembly 492 can be a ball screw assembly, and the distance between the two clamping cylinders can be adjusted by the first positioning drive assembly 492, so as to adjust the clamping position according to products of different lengths and improve the positioning effect of the products.

[0035] The inner liner tube cutting mechanism 43 is arranged side by side with the inner liner tube length fixing mechanism 44, the hot stamping mechanism 45 is arranged side by side with the positioning mechanism 46, the inner liner tube cutting mechanism 43, the hot stamping mechanism 45, the primary shaping mechanism 453, the detection mechanism 47, and the secondary shaping mechanism 48 are located in the same row; the material clamping assembly 42 is located between the inner liner tube cutting mechanism 43 and the inner liner tube length fixing mechanism 44, and the material clamping assembly 42 is located between the hot stamping mechanism 45 and the positioning mechanism 46;

[0036] The first positioning frame 491 is provided with a second positioning frame 493, and the liner tube fixing length mechanism 44 and the positioning mechanism 46 are both located on the second positioning frame 493. The second positioning frame 493 is connected with a second positioning drive assembly 494, and the second positioning drive assembly 494 can be a cylinder. The second positioning drive assembly 494 pushes the second positioning frame 493 to move, so as to set the distance between the liner tube fixing length mechanism 44 and the liner tube cutting mechanism 43, and the distance between the positioning mechanism 46 and the hot stamping mechanism 45 according to the fixed length standard of the liner tube 7, thereby improving the applicability of the assembly mechanism 4 for liner tube cutting and hot stamping.

[0037] (2) Liner tube cutting mechanism 43 and liner tube length fixing mechanism 44

[0038] The inner liner tube cutting mechanism 43 includes a cutting cylinder 431, a cutting table 432, a cutting piece 433, a blade 434, a clearance cylinder 435, and a cutting frame 436; the cutting cylinder 431 is connected to the top of the cutting piece 433, the blade 434 is connected to the cutting piece 433, the cutting table 432 is located below the cutting piece 433, a cutting groove 4322 is provided on the top of the cutting table 432, and the blade 434 faces the cutting groove 4322; a clamping hole 4321 is provided on the side wall of the cutting table 432, and the clamping hole 4321 is connected to the inner liner tube transmission pipeline 437, and the inner liner tube transmission pipeline 437 is located between the cutting table 432 and the inner liner tube transmission mechanism 3; the cutting table 432 and the cutting piece 433 are both connected to the clearance cylinder 435 through the cutting frame 436;

[0039] The inner liner tube length fixing mechanism 44 comprises a cutting ejector pin 441 and a cutting ejector pin extending cylinder 442, and the cutting ejector pin 441 is connected to the cutting ejector pin extending cylinder 442;

[0040] After the liner tube 7 passes through the liner tube transmission pipe 437 into the sleeve 6, the end of the liner tube 7 is held by the extended cutting pin 441. Then, the cutting cylinder 431 controls the cutting piece 433 to descend, and the blade 434 cuts in the cutting groove 4322 to complete the cutting of the liner tube 7.

[0041] The top of the cutting groove 4322 is a bell mouth 4323, and the space of the bell mouth 4323 is large, which is convenient for the blade 434 to enter the groove, and avoids the cutting groove 4322 being too narrow, so that the blade 434 collides with the top of the cutting groove 4322 when entering the groove, thereby affecting the life of the blade 434.

[0042] After the liner pipe 7 is cut, the cutting frame 436 moves the cylinder 435 away from the clamping assembly 42, so that the cut liner pipe section escapes from the cutting table 432, which facilitates the continued transportation of the liner pipe section.

[0043] (3) Hot stamping mechanism 45, positioning mechanism 46

[0044] The hot stamping mechanism 45 includes a hot stamping cylinder 451 and a hot stamping head 452. The tail of the hot stamping head 452 is connected to the hot stamping cylinder 451. The head of the hot stamping head 452 faces the positioning mechanism 46. The positioning mechanism 46 includes a hot stamping ejector pin 461 and a hot stamping ejector pin extending cylinder 462. The hot stamping ejector pin 461 is connected to the hot stamping ejector pin extending cylinder 462.

[0045] When the cut zipper thread components are transported to the hot stamping station, the hot stamping ejector pin 461 is extended by the hot stamping ejector pin extension cylinder 462 and presses against the hot stamping head 452 extended by the hot stamping cylinder 451 to perform the hot stamping bell mouth operation on the end of the inner liner tube 7.

[0046] (4) Initial forming mechanism 453

[0047] The initial shaping mechanism 453 is located at one side of the hot stamping mechanism 45. The initial shaping mechanism 453 includes an initial shaping cylinder 454 and a push rod 455. The initial shaping cylinder 454 is connected to the push rod 455, and the push rod 455 faces the inner liner tube.

[0048] After the hot stamping is completed, the push rod 455 is extended under the action of the initial shaping cylinder 454, and the newly hot stamped bell mouth is briefly and lightly tapped to perform the initial shaping of the bell mouth. Since the clamping cylinder clamps the sleeve 6, the liner tube 7 may be slightly pulled out of the end of the sleeve 6 during the hot stamping process, and the push rod 455 can tap the extended liner tube 7 into the sleeve 6.

[0049] (5) Testing agency 47

[0050] The detection mechanism 47 can be an existing pressure sensor. The end of the zipper wire assembly with a bell-shaped mouth is thicker than the end of the zipper wire assembly without a bell-shaped mouth. The pressure sensor can sense the pressure of the bell-shaped mouth on it, and convert the sensed pressure signal into an electrical signal, and transmit it to the terminal control cabinet 8, so as to detect each zipper wire assembly online in real time to avoid the phenomenon of missing heat.

[0051] (6) Secondary shaping mechanism 48

[0052] The secondary shaping mechanism 48 includes a secondary shaping cylinder 481 and a shaping head 482. The secondary shaping cylinder 481 is connected to the shaping head 482, and the shaping head 482 is provided with a shaping cavity 483. Since the newly stamped bell mouth is relatively soft, the shaping head 482 extends through the secondary shaping cylinder 481 and wraps the bell mouth in the shaping cavity 483 for final shaping.

[0053] The zipper line online processing device of the utility model is applied to the zipper line assembly production line, such as Figure 7As shown, the inner liner pipe is unwound by the online unwinding device 2 and transmitted through the transmission device 3, the sleeve 6 is loaded through the sleeve loading device 1, the sleeve 6 and the zipper line are assembled in the online processing device 4, and the unloading is completed through the discharging device 5.

[0054] In the online processing device for zipper wires of the utility model, after the clamping cylinder located at the pipe threading station clamps the sleeve 6, the inner lining tube 7 is sent into the sleeve 6 through the inner lining tube transmission mechanism 3 via the inner lining tube transmission pipeline 437 and the clamping hole 4321. Subsequently, the inner lining tube 7 is cut to a fixed length by the cutting ejector 441 and then cut by the blade 434. Subsequently, the zipper wire assembly is transferred to the hot stamping mechanism 45, and the end of the inner lining tube 7 extending out of the sleeve 6 is hot stamped with a bell mouth, and the bell mouth is initially shaped by the initial shaping mechanism 453. Subsequently, the zipper wire assembly enters the inspection station, and the bell mouth is inspected online by the inspection mechanism 47 to avoid the phenomenon of missed hot stamping.
