Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aluminum pipe processing, and particularly relates to an automatic laser engraving and glue sleeve assembling machine for aluminum pipes. Background Art

[0002] When processing FCT aluminum pipes, it is necessary to laser engrave corresponding marks on them and sleeve a glue sleeve at one end of the aluminum pipe. The existing conventional method is to manually place the aluminum pipes into the laser engraving equipment for laser engraving, then remove the laser-engraved aluminum pipes, apply glue to one end of the aluminum pipe, and finally manually put on the glue sleeve. The process of manually putting the aluminum pipes into the laser engraving equipment one by one is rather cumbersome, with low work efficiency. And when the placement position is inaccurate, it is easy to cause variations in the laser engraving position, making it difficult to ensure the standardization and uniformity of products. When applying glue to the aluminum pipe, one needs to hold the product with the left hand and the glue injection syringe with the right hand. When the needle tip is aligned with one end of the glue-injected aluminum pipe, step on the switch to extrude the glue, and then the left hand needs to rotate 360 degrees for glue application. The disadvantage of manual glue application is that the glue application is uneven, it is not easy to control the tilt angle of the aluminum pipe, and during the glue application process, the glue easily flows to the bottom of the aluminum pipe, that is, the hole bottom position, affecting the processing quality of the product. When sleeving the glue sleeve onto the end of the aluminum pipe, one needs to press it forcefully by hand to make the aluminum pipe and the glue sleeve tightly fastened to each other. The work intensity is high and it cannot ensure that all glue sleeves are sleeved in place, and the assembly quality cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0008] The automatic laser engraving and glue sleeve assembling machine of the present application is provided with a laser engraving mechanism and a plurality of manipulators. The plurality of manipulators cooperate with each other. First, the first manipulator drives the aluminum tube to be placed on the laser engraving mechanism for laser engraving. After the laser engraving processing is completed, the first manipulator moves the aluminum tube to the position of the second manipulator. The second manipulator clamps the aluminum tube, adjusts the glue injection angle of the aluminum tube and drives the aluminum tube to rotate self - rotatably. During the self - rotation process, the glue injection syringe clamped by the third manipulator can perform circumferential glue injection on one end of the aluminum tube. After the glue injection is completed, the second manipulator places the aluminum tube into the transfer mechanism. The transfer mechanism drives the aluminum tube to move to the fifth manipulator. At the same time, the fourth manipulator sequentially transfers the glue sleeves into the assembling fixtures on the turntable. When the turntable moves the assembling fixtures with glue sleeves to the position of the fifth manipulator, the fifth manipulator places the aluminum tube into the assembling fixture. Then the turntable continues to drive the aluminum tube and the glue sleeve to move to the position below the pressing mechanism. The pressing mechanism presses the aluminum tube, so that the glue sleeve is sleeved onto the end of the aluminum tube and fixedly adhered to the end of the aluminum tube through glue. Finally, the turntable moves the aluminum tube sleeved with the glue sleeve to the position of the sixth manipulator. The sixth manipulator clamps the aluminum tube and discharges it. The equipment of the present application can automatically perform laser engraving and glue sleeve assembling on aluminum tubes, without manual operation, which can improve the processing efficiency, and the mechanical standardized operation can ensure the processing quality.

[0018] Specifically, the aluminum tubes in this application are FCT aluminum tubes.

[0019] Specifically, during assembly, the first manipulator 1 first picks up an aluminum tube on the first tray 13, drives the aluminum tube to the laser engraving mechanism 10 for laser engraving. After the laser engraving process is completed, the first manipulator 1 moves the aluminum tube to the position of the second manipulator 2. The second manipulator 2 grips the aluminum tube, adjusts the glue injection angle of the aluminum tube and drives the aluminum tube to rotate. The glue injection syringe is pre-fixed to the third manipulator 3. After the aluminum tube is fixed in position, the third manipulator 3 drives the glue injection syringe to move towards the end of the aluminum tube and make contact with it. During the rotation of the aluminum tube held by the second manipulator 2, the glue injection syringe can continuously eject glue to inject glue into the aluminum tube. After the glue injection is completed, the second manipulator 2 places the aluminum tube into the transfer mechanism 12. The transfer mechanism 12 drives the aluminum tube to the fifth manipulator 5. At the same time, the fourth manipulator 4 transfers the rubber sleeves one by one into the assembly fixture 9 on the turntable 8. When the turntable 8 moves the assembly fixture 9 with the rubber sleeve to the position of the fifth manipulator 5, the fifth manipulator 5 places the aluminum tube into the assembly fixture 9. Then the turntable 8 continues to drive the aluminum tube and the rubber sleeve to move to the position below the pressing mechanism 6. The pressing mechanism 6 presses the aluminum tube, so that the rubber sleeve is sleeved onto the end of the aluminum tube and is adhesively fixed to the end of the aluminum tube through glue. Finally, the turntable 8 moves the aluminum tube with the rubber sleeve sleeved onto it to the position of the sixth manipulator 7. The sixth manipulator 7 picks up the aluminum tube and places it on the second tray 14 for discharging.

[0020] Specifically, the laser engraving mechanism 10 can adopt a conventional laser engraving machine on the market, and a permanent mark is made on the surface of the aluminum tube through a laser beam. The internal structure of the laser engraving machine will not be elaborated in this application.

[0021] Specifically, the glue injection syringe is connected to the glue injection generating device through a rubber tube. The glue injection generating device inputs glue into the glue injection syringe and applies pressure to promote the glue to be output from the glue outlet of the glue injection syringe for glue injection.

[0022] Specifically, the second manipulator 2 includes a first motor, a second motor arranged on the first motor, and a first jaw arranged on the second motor. The first motor drives the first jaw to rotate in the vertical plane, and the second motor drives the first jaw to rotate in the horizontal plane. After the first jaw grips the aluminum tube, the first motor drives the aluminum tube to rotate to a predetermined angle in the vertical plane to adjust the glue injection angle of the aluminum tube. Then the second motor drives the first jaw to rotate in the horizontal plane for self-rotation glue injection.

[0023] Specifically, the transfer mechanism 12 includes: a slide rail 1201 and a sliding clamping seat 1202. The two ends of the slide rail 1201 are respectively docked with the second manipulator 2 and the fifth manipulator 5. The sliding clamping seat 1202 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 1201. A second jaw is arranged on the sliding clamping seat 1202. After the glue injection of the aluminum tube is completed, the second manipulator 2 drives the aluminum tube to rotate in the vertical plane to the downward direction. The second manipulator 2 is docked with the second jaw, grips the aluminum tube and then slides along the slide rail 1201 to the side of the fifth manipulator 5 for the fifth manipulator 5 to pick up.

[0024] Specifically, the turntable 8 is driven by the third motor to rotate horizontally, and a plurality of assembly jigs 9 are circumferentially arranged on the edge of the turntable.

[0025] Specifically, a feeding machine 11 can be used to feed the rubber sleeves. The fourth manipulator 4 picks up the rubber sleeves on the feeding machine 11 and places the rubber sleeves on each assembly jig 9 respectively. Then, the fifth manipulator 5 puts the aluminum tubes into the assembly jigs 9, so that the end of the aluminum tube with glue contacts the rubber sleeve.

[0026] The pressing mechanism 6 includes: a fixed seat and a pressing cylinder arranged on the fixed seat. The driving end of the pressing cylinder moves up and down to press the aluminum tube.
