[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of production equipment for faucet pull-out pipes, in particular to a horn joint feeding and assembling device. Background Art

[0002] A faucet pull-out pipe, also known as a pull-out type faucet hose, is a flexible pipe connecting the water outlet of a faucet and the water inlet pipe. It allows users to pull out the water outlet part of the faucet by a certain length, thus facilitating the cleaning of various corners of the sink or the rinsing of larger objects. After use, the pull-out pipe usually automatically resets through an internal counterweight or gravity ball.

[0003] Inner core joints and horn joints need to be installed at both ends of the faucet pull-out pipe respectively. Since the surface of the horn joint is provided with a coating, during the assembly process of the faucet pull-out pipe, if a vibrating feeding tray is used for feeding the horn joints, the coating on the surface of the horn joints will be damaged.

Multiple placement slots 120 are arranged in an array on the material tray 100, and the placement slots 120 are used for placing horn connectors. The assembling manipulator is used to install the horn connectors in the material tray 100 at both ends of the faucet pull-out pipe. The feeding conveyor belt 200, the discharging conveyor belt 300 and the transition conveyor belt 500 are used to convey the material tray 100. The feeding conveyor belt 200 is arranged above the discharging conveyor belt 300, the lifting platform is arranged at the discharging end of the feeding conveyor belt 200, the transition conveyor belt 500 is installed on the lifting platform, the transition conveyor belt 500 drives the material tray 100 to move towards or away from the feeding conveyor belt 200, and the assembling manipulator is arranged above the transition conveyor belt 500.

[0027] In this embodiment, the horn connectors can be placed into the material tray 100 manually or by a manipulator. The material tray 100 with the horn connectors placed is placed on the feeding conveyor belt 200, and the feeding conveyor belt 200 sends the material tray 100 together with the horn connectors to the transition conveyor belt 500. At this time, the height of the transition conveyor belt 500 is equal to that of the feeding conveyor belt 200. The assembling manipulator takes away the horn connectors in the material tray 100 on the transition conveyor belt 500 and installs them at the ends of the faucet pull-out pipe. After all the horn connectors on the material tray 100 are installed, the transition conveyor belt 500 descends to the same height as the discharging conveyor belt 300 and sends the material tray 100 into the discharging conveyor belt 300, and the discharging conveyor belt 300 sends out the material tray 100.

[0028] The assembling manipulator includes a bracket 400, a lateral moving device 420, a longitudinal moving device 410, a vertical moving device 430 and a pneumatic gripper 440; the bracket 400 is arranged in a U shape above the transition conveyor belt 500, the opening of the bracket 400 faces away from the feeding conveyor belt 200, the longitudinal moving device 410 is installed on the bracket 400 and is arranged parallel to the feeding conveyor belt, there are two longitudinal moving devices 410 and they are installed on both sides of the transition conveyor belt 500, the lateral moving device 420 is installed across the two longitudinal moving devices 410, the vertical moving device 430 is installed on the cross plate, and the pneumatic gripper 440 is installed on the vertical moving device 430.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the longitudinal moving device 410 and the lateral moving device 420 are moving platforms. The longitudinal moving device 410 drives the pneumatic gripper 440 to move longitudinally, the lateral moving device 420 drives the pneumatic gripper 440 to move laterally, and the vertical moving device 430 drives the pneumatic gripper 440 to move up and down in the vertical direction. Through the above settings, the pneumatic gripper 440 can grab any horn connector in the material tray 100 located on the transition conveyor belt 500.

[0030] In this embodiment, the vertical moving device 430 includes a first lifting cylinder, a vertical plate 431, a first mounting portion 433, and a second mounting portion 432. The vertical plate 431 is disposed on the side of the horizontal moving device 420 away from the feeding conveyor belt 200. The first mounting portion 433 is used to connect the vertical plate 431 and the horizontal moving device 420. The second mounting portion 432 is mounted on the top of the vertical plate 431. The first lifting cylinder is mounted on the second mounting portion 432, and the pneumatic gripper 440 is mounted on the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder is connected to the pneumatic gripper 440 through a second bracket.

[0032] The pneumatic gripper 440 includes a pneumatic device 441 and clamping jaws 442. The two clamping jaws 442 are symmetrically mounted on the bottom of the pneumatic device 441. A limiting portion 443 is provided between the two clamping jaws 442. When the clamping jaws 442 grip the horn connector, the top of the horn connector abuts against the limiting portion 443.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the clamping jaws 442 grip the horn connector, the limiting portion 443 can abut against the top of the horn connector to play a positioning role. At the same time, it can ensure that the clamping jaws 442 are clamped at the correct position to play a protective role.

[0034] The lifting table is composed of a movable plate 510, a mounting plate 530, a column 550, guide rods, and a second lifting cylinder 540. A plurality of mounting plates 530 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 550. The second lifting cylinder 540 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 530. The movable plate 510 is disposed above the mounting plate 530.

Four guide rods are provided at the four corners of the mounting plate 530 and the movable plate 510. The guide rods and the guide holes cooperate with each other to ensure the stability of the movable plate 510 during the lifting process.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to keep the tray 100 stable during the installation process by the installation manipulator, a positioning cylinder 560 is provided on one side of the transition conveyor belt 500. A positioning post is installed on the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 560. A positioning hole 130 matching the positioning post is formed on the side surface of the tray 100. A chamfer is provided at one end of the positioning post close to the positioning hole 130. The cooperation between the positioning post and the positioning hole 130 on the side surface of the tray 100 can fix the tray 100 on the transition conveyor belt 500. After the tray 100 moves from the feeding conveyor belt 200 to the transition conveyor belt 500, the positioning cylinder 560 drives the positioning post to engage with the positioning hole 130 on the side surface of the tray 100, completing the positioning and fixing of the tray 100.

[0037] A plurality of mutually parallel through grooves 110 are formed on the upper edge of the tray 100, and the placement grooves 120 are formed in the through grooves 110. In this embodiment, the formation of the through grooves 110 is more conducive to the gripper 442 grasping the horn connector. At the same time, the side walls of the placement grooves 120 can assist in fixing the horn connector.
