[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a fully automatic production device for ball tubes includes a manipulator 1, and a tube end forming machine 2, a first inspection station 3, a bending forming machine 4, a second inspection station 5 and a punching forming machine 6 arranged in sequence from front to back. The tube end forming machine 2 is used for forming the end of the ball tube. The first inspection station 3 detects the tube end forming requirements, and the detection content includes key dimensions such as tube end size, full length, cracking, wall thickness, etc. Unqualified ball tubes are directly rejected by the first inspection station 3, and qualified ball tubes are sent to the discharge port of the first inspection station 3. The bending forming machine 4 is used to bend the ball tube, and the second inspection station 5 detects the bending forming requirements, and the detection content includes key dimensions such as inner roundness and profiling. Unqualified ball tubes are directly rejected by the second inspection station 5, and qualified ball tubes are sent to the discharge port of the second inspection station 5. The punching forming machine 6 punches and forms the ball tube. The discharge port of the tube end forming machine 2 is provided with a first detection and feeding mechanism 7, and the first detection and feeding mechanism 7 is used to move the ball from the tube end forming machine 2 to the feed port of the first inspection station 3. The qualified product discharge port of the second inspection station 5 is provided with a punching and forming feeding mechanism 8, and the punching and forming feeding mechanism 8 is used to feed the ball from the second inspection station 5 into the punching and forming machine 6. The qualified product discharge port of the first inspection station 3, the feed port of the bending forming machine 4 and the feed port of the second inspection station 5 are arranged around the manipulator 1 in a clockwise or counterclockwise order. During production, the manipulator 1 needs to complete the following two actions in sequence and repeat them: 1. Grab the ball from the first inspection station 3 and move it to the bending die clamp position of the bending forming machine 4; 2. Grab the ball from the bending die clamp position of the bending forming machine 4 and move it to the feed port of the second inspection station 5.

[0022] The first inspection and loading mechanism 7 includes a belt conveyor mechanism 71 for conveying the ball tube backward from the discharge port of the tube end forming machine 2, and a ball tube transferring device 72 arranged at the discharge end of the belt conveyor mechanism 71. After the ball tube is formed and discharged from the tube end forming machine 2, the belt conveyor mechanism 71 conveys the ball tube backward to the discharge end, and then the ball tube transferring device 72 grabs the ball tube at the discharge end of the belt conveyor mechanism 71 and moves it to the feed port of the first inspection station 3.

[0023] The punching and forming feeding mechanism 8 includes a linear moving mechanism 81 and a conveyor belt 82 to be punched for feeding the ball tubes into the punching and forming machine 6. The linear moving mechanism 81 moves the ball tubes backward from the qualified product discharge port of the second inspection station 5 to the conveyor belt 82 to be punched. After the ball tubes are inspected by the second inspection station 5, unqualified ball tubes are directly rejected by the second inspection station 5, and qualified ball tubes are grabbed by the linear moving mechanism 81 and moved to the conveyor belt 82 to be punched.

[0024] There are two bending and forming machines 4 , which are arranged in parallel around the robot 1 .

[0025] A bending and forming machine 4 usually has a bending die clamp, so two bending and forming machines 4 are set up. When the robot 1 sends the ball tube from the first inspection station 3 to the first bending and forming machine 4, it can move directly to the bending die clamp of the second bending and forming machine 4 without waiting for the ball tube to be bent and formed, and move the ball tube that has been bent and formed by the second bending and forming machine 4 to the second inspection station 5, which greatly improves the working efficiency of the robot 1. When the ball tube is grabbed from the first inspection station 3 next time, it is directly moved to the bending die clamp of the second bending and forming machine 4 for placement, and then the ball tube that has been bent and formed by the first bending and forming machine 4 is grabbed and moved to the feed port of the second inspection station 5.

[0026] The utility model has a structure in which one manipulator 1 matches two bending forming machines 4, which greatly improves the working efficiency of the manipulator 1 and has a reasonable structural layout.

[0027] When the utility model is processing and producing the ball tube, its specific working process is as follows:

[0028] 1. The worker places the ball tube on the feeding place of the tube end forming machine;

[0029] 2. After being processed by the tube end forming machine, the ball tube falls from the discharge port onto the belt conveyor mechanism and is transported backward to its end along the belt conveyor mechanism;

[0030] 3. The ball tube transfer device grabs the ball tube at the end of the belt conveyor mechanism and moves it to the feed port of the first inspection station;

[0031] 4. The tubes are inspected by the first inspection station. Unqualified tubes are directly rejected by the first inspection station, and qualified tubes are moved to the discharge port of the first inspection station.

[0032] 5. The robot grabs the ball tube from the discharge port of the first inspection station and moves it to the bending die clamp of the first bending and forming machine. The bending and forming machine bends the ball tube and puts the ball tube back to the bending die clamp. The robot moves to the bending die clamp of the second bending and forming machine, grabs the ball tube that has been bent and formed by the second bending and forming machine and put back to the bending die clamp, and moves it to the feed port of the second inspection station. Then the robot moves to the discharge port of the first inspection station, grabs the ball tube, and moves it to the bending die clamp of the second bending and forming machine. The bending and forming machine bends the ball tube and puts the ball tube back to the bending die clamp. The robot moves to the bending die clamp of the first bending and forming machine, grabs the ball tube that has been bent and formed by the first bending and forming machine and put back to the bending die clamp, and moves it to the feed port of the second inspection station, and then repeats step 5.

[0033] 6. The second inspection station inspects the tubes. Unqualified tubes are directly rejected by the second inspection station, and qualified tubes are moved to the discharge port of the second inspection station.

[0034] 7. The linear moving mechanism grabs the tube from the outlet of the second inspection station and moves it backward to place it on the conveyor belt to be punched;

[0035] 8. The ball tubes on the conveyor belt to be punched are sent to the punching and forming machine along the conveyor belt to be punched. After the punching and forming machine completes the punching and forming, they are put into the semi-finished product box by manual or other mechanical equipment.

[0036] The first testing station is equipped with air tightness testing, molding end face testing, whitening wall thickness testing and full-length tube testing.

[0037] The air tightness test method is: by inflating and pressurizing the ball tube, the air pressure difference between the cracked tube and the non-cracked tube is used to detect and screen out the bad cracks.

[0038] The method of detecting the molding end face is to detect the distance thereof by means of a displacement sensor.

[0039] The method of detecting the whitening wall thickness is to detect the lower limit of the inner wall thickness of the pipe through the inner diameter go / no-go gauge.

[0040] The method of detecting the full length of the tube is to detect the distance thereof by means of a displacement sensor.

[0041] The air tightness test, molding end face test, whitening wall thickness test and full length test of the tube listed above are one of the test methods that can be tried, and other test methods can also be used to achieve it.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and there are many variations. All variations that can be directly derived or associated with the content disclosed by a person skilled in the art from the present invention should be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
