Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline production, in particular to an assembly device for pipeline components. Background Art
[0002] The production process of pipeline components such as automobile pipeline assemblies usually needs to perform the following processes in sequence: first, insert and connect pipelines and other tubular parts (such as joints, continuous pipelines, etc.), then install and sleeve annular fasteners such as metal rings and spring clamps at the insertion joints of the pipelines and tubular parts, and then make the fasteners contract and lock to ensure the connection stability of the pipelines and tubular parts. Among them, the insertion of the tubular parts and the pipelines and the installation and locking of the fasteners are key processes to ensure the airtightness of the pipeline components. After the pipeline components are assembled, an airtightness detection process is also required for the pipeline components.
[0003] However, the insertion process of the above pipelines and tubular parts, the installation process of the fasteners, the locking process of the fasteners, and the airtightness detection process are carried out on different workbenches respectively, resulting in the assembly parts required in the whole process flowing among the processes, a large working area, and a large number of operators.
[0004] Moreover, when the airtightness detection process is carried out according to the process flow, all parts have been fully assembled. When there are batch quality problems with a certain part, it will cause all the pipeline components in the batch to leak. Since the above problems cannot be discovered in time, the whole batch of pipeline components can only be scrapped in batches, resulting in material waste. Summary of the Utility Model

Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0030] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0031] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0032] Embodiment:
[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment includes a pipeline support component 1, a part support component 2, a fastener support component 3, a plugging drive component, a locking drive component 4, and a sealing detection component 5; the fastener support component 3 is arranged between the pipeline support component 1 and the part support component 2, and the pipeline support component 1, the part support component 2, and the fastener support component 3 are respectively used to support the pipeline to be assembled, the tubular part, and the annular fastener, so that the pipeline, the fastener, and the part are coaxially arranged in sequence; the pipeline support component 1 or the part support component 2 is connected to the plugging drive component, or both the pipeline support component 1 and the part support component 2 are connected to the plugging drive component, and the plugging drive component is used to drive the pipeline support component 1 and the part support component 2 to move relatively closer, so that the pipeline and the part are plugged and communicated in the annular space of the fastener; the locking drive component 4 is arranged on one side of the fastener support component 3 and is used to drive the fastener on the fastener support component 3 to contract, so that the fastener is clamped and fixed at the plugging position of the pipeline and the part; the pipeline on the pipeline support component 1 or the part on the part support component 2 is communicated with the sealing detection component 5, or both the pipeline on the pipeline support component 1 and the part on the part support component 2 are communicated with the sealing detection component 5, and the sealing detection component 5 is used to detect the airtightness of the plugged pipeline and part.
[0034] The pipeline assembly assembly device provided in this embodiment is used to assemble pipeline assemblies such as automobile pipeline assemblies, and can perform air tightness detection on the assembled pipeline assembly. During the assembly process, the pipeline, annular fasteners (such as metal rings, spring clamps) and tubular parts (such as joints, connecting pipes, etc.) in a pipeline assembly to be assembled can be placed on the pipeline support assembly 1, the fastener support assembly 3 and the part support assembly 2 respectively, and the above pipelines, fasteners and parts are coaxially arranged in sequence. Then start the plug-in drive assembly, and use the plug-in drive assembly to drive the pipeline support assembly 1 and the part support assembly 2 to move relatively close until the pipeline on the pipeline support assembly 1 and the parts on the part support assembly 2 are plugged and connected in the inner space of the fastener ring. Then start the locking drive assembly 4, and use the locking drive assembly 4 to drive the fasteners on the fastener support assembly 3 to shrink until the fasteners are clamped and fixed at the plug-in place of the pipeline and the parts, so that the fasteners lock the pipeline and the parts, and the pipeline assembly is assembled.
[0035] After the pipeline assembly is assembled, the sealing detection component 5 is started, and the sealing detection component 5 can supply gas or other detection media to the connected pipelines and parts, and the airtightness of the assembled pipeline assembly can be measured by judging the change of medium pressure or flow. If the airtightness of the pipeline assembly is qualified, the pipeline assembly can be removed, and then the above process is repeated to assemble the next pipeline assembly to be assembled.
[0036] It can be seen that in the process of assembling and air tightness testing the pipeline assembly using the pipeline assembly device provided in this embodiment, the plug-in process between the pipeline and the parts, the installation process of the fasteners, the locking process of the fasteners and the air tightness testing process can all be carried out on the pipeline assembly device without the need for transfer between different workbenches, which effectively reduces the working area and can also reduce the quality problems of parts caused by the transfer process.
[0037] At the same time, the pipeline assembly device can at least utilize the plug-in drive assembly and the locking drive assembly 4 to mechanize the plug-in process between the pipeline and the parts and the locking process of the fasteners, thereby reducing the manual operation steps and the number of manual workers.
[0038] In addition, when the pipeline component assembly device assembles multiple pipeline components to be assembled, it does so sequentially, that is, the assembly process of the next pipeline component can only be carried out after the previous pipeline component is assembled. Therefore, when the pipeline component assembly device is used for assembly operations, if a certain part in the pipeline component has batch quality problems, the problem can be discovered in time during the air tightness test after assembling the first pipeline component, so that the parts with quality problems can be replaced in batches in time, without having to wait until all pipeline components are assembled and then scrapping the entire batch of pipeline components, thereby effectively avoiding material waste.
[0039] It should also be noted that during the production process of the existing pipeline components, when the assembled pipeline components reach the airtightness detection process in the process flow, in order to ensure production capacity and efficiency in the previous process, the production of other models of pipeline components has been changed. Therefore, if a batch quality problem is detected in a certain part during the airtightness detection process, not only will the entire batch of pipeline components be scrapped, but also the supplementary production can only be carried out after the production of other models of pipeline components is completed. This leads to a long time for supplementary production of pipeline components and is prone to confusion, greatly affecting the production efficiency of pipeline components.
[0040] However, since the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment can timely detect problems during the airtightness detection process after assembling the first pipeline component, it is convenient to batch replace the parts with quality problems in a timely manner. Therefore, the pipeline component assembly device can timely carry out supplementary production for the pipeline components with part problems, without waiting and without causing confusion with the production process of other models of pipeline components.
[0041] Compared with the prior art, the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment can integrate each process in the pipeline component assembly and airtightness detection processes on one device through the mutual cooperation of the pipeline support component 1, the part support component 2, the fastener support component 3, the insertion drive component, the locking drive component 4, and the seal detection component 5. Thereby, it effectively reduces the working area. At the same time, it can at least mechanize the insertion process between the pipeline and the parts and the locking process of the fasteners, thereby reducing the manual operation process and the number of workers. In addition, when the pipeline component assembly device assembles and conducts airtightness detection operations on multiple pipeline components, it is carried out sequentially, which is convenient for timely detecting the batch quality problems of a certain part during the airtightness detection process after assembling the first pipeline component, without waiting for all pipeline components to be assembled and then scrapping the entire batch of pipeline components, thereby effectively reducing material waste.
[0042] In this embodiment, the process of placing the pipeline to be assembled on the pipeline support component 1, the process of placing the parts to be assembled on the part support component 2, and the process of placing the fasteners to be assembled on the fastener support component 3 can be realized manually respectively, or can be realized by mechanical devices such as mechanical claws respectively.
[0043] To improve the positional accuracy of the pipeline to be assembled on the pipeline support assembly 1, so that the pipeline can be coaxially arranged with parts and fasteners, the pipeline support assembly 1 can be provided with a limiting structure such as a limiting groove, and the pipeline support assembly 1 can also be provided with a pipeline detection member for detecting whether the position of the pipeline on the pipeline support assembly 1 meets the preset position requirements. For example, the pipeline detection member can detect the placement angle, height or horizontal position of the pipeline. Correspondingly, the preset position requirements of the pipeline are the placement angle, height or horizontal position required by the pipeline in the coaxially arranged state. By comparing the detection result of the pipeline detection member with the above preset position requirements of the pipeline, it can be judged whether the placement position of the pipeline is accurate.
[0044] Correspondingly, to improve the positional accuracy of the parts to be assembled on the part support assembly 2, so that the parts can be coaxially arranged with the pipeline and fasteners, the part support assembly 2 can also be provided with a limiting structure such as a limiting groove, and the part support assembly 2 can also be provided with a part detection member for detecting whether the position of the parts on the part support assembly 2 meets the preset position requirements.
[0045] Furthermore, to improve the positional accuracy of the fasteners to be assembled on the fastener support assembly 3, so that the fasteners can be coaxially arranged with the pipeline and parts, the fastener support assembly 3 can also be provided with a limiting structure such as a limiting groove, and the fastener support assembly 3 can also be provided with a fastener detection member for detecting whether the position of the fasteners on the fastener support assembly 3 meets the preset position requirements.
[0046] Among them, the pipeline detection member, the part detection member and the fastener detection member can respectively adopt detection devices such as angle sensors, photoelectric sensors or cameras. There is no limit to the structures of the pipeline detection member, the part detection member and the fastener detection member, as long as the position detection of the pipeline, parts and fasteners can be correspondingly realized.
[0047] To facilitate accurately judging whether the parts and the pipeline are plugged in place, as Figure 1 shown, the fastener support assembly 3 or the locking drive assembly 4 can also be provided with a plug-in place detection member 6, or both the fastener support assembly 3 and the locking drive assembly 4 are provided with a plug-in place detection member 6. The plug-in place detection member 6 is used to detect whether the parts and the pipeline are plugged in place in the fastener.
[0048] Specifically, the plug-in place detection member 6 can adopt detection instruments such as cameras and photoelectric sensors.
[0049] It should be noted that, in order to simplify the working process of the pipeline component assembly device and ensure the insertion stability between the pipeline and the parts, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the pipeline support assembly 1 is connected to the insertion driving assembly, and the position of the part support assembly 2 is fixed. When the part is placed on the part support assembly 2, one end of the part can extend into the fastener. At this time, after starting the insertion driving assembly, the insertion driving assembly will drive the pipeline support assembly 1 to move closer to the part support assembly 2, so as to drive the pipeline to extend into the fastener and be inserted and communicated with the part.
[0050] Among them, the insertion driving assembly can adopt telescopic drivers such as cylinders and oil cylinders, or sliding guides. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the insertion driving assembly is a sliding guide.
[0051] In this embodiment, when the pipeline, the fastener and the part are coaxially arranged, they are coaxially arranged in the horizontal direction. Therefore, when the annular fastener is on the fastener support assembly 3, the axial direction of the fastener is the horizontal direction. When the locking driving assembly 4 drives the fastener to contract, usually a radial extrusion force is applied to the fastener.
[0052] Based on this, the locking driving assembly 4 can include a lifting driving member and a locking driving member; the locking driving member is arranged at the output end of the lifting driving member and is located above the fastener support assembly 3. The lifting driving member is used to drive the locking driving member to lift to approach or move away from the fastener on the fastener support assembly 3, and the locking driving member is used to drive the fastener to contract when approaching the fastener.
[0053] Among them, the output end of the locking driving member can be rod-shaped or semi-circular. Whether the output end of the locking driving member is rod-shaped or semi-circular, it can apply a thrust force to the annular fastener from top to bottom, so as to cooperate with the fastener support assembly 3 to realize the radial contraction of the fastener and achieve the purpose of locking the fastener.
[0054] Among them, the lifting driving member can adopt telescopic driving devices such as cylinders, and the locking driving member can adopt mechanical claws or electric push rods and other devices. Moreover, the shape of the output end of the locking driving member can be selected based on the specific structure of the fastener. For example, when the fastener is a metal ring, the output end of the locking driving member can be annular. When the fastener is a spring clip, the output end of the locking driving member can be rod-shaped. The original state of the spring clip is usually in an open state, and a limit buckle is usually provided on it to keep it in the open state. When the limit buckle is pushed to move by the output end of the locking driving member, the limit buckle can be unlocked, so that the spring clip automatically tightens under its own elastic force.
[0055] Such as Figure 1As shown, the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment further includes a pipeline floating mechanism 10. The pipeline floating mechanism 10 is connected to the pipeline support assembly 1, and is used to float as the pipeline on the pipeline support assembly 1 moves when the fastener on the fastener support assembly 3 contracts.
[0056] When the locking drive assembly 4 drives the fastener on the fastener support assembly 3 to contract, a thrust will be applied to the annular fastener from top to bottom. Therefore, the fastener will generate a vertical displacement during the locking process. Also, since the pipeline and the part are inserted and connected within the fastener at this time, if the fastener generates a vertical displacement and the pipeline cannot move accordingly, the pipeline will be subjected to a vertical shear force, and there is a situation where the pipeline is damaged.
[0057] Based on this, this embodiment preferably provides that the pipeline component assembly device further includes a pipeline floating mechanism 10. The pipeline floating mechanism 10 can float up and down, so as to provide a vertical movement space for the pipeline on the pipeline support assembly 1, so that during the fastener locking process, the pipeline can move vertically together with the fastener, achieving the purpose of protecting the pipeline.
[0058] Among them, the pipeline floating mechanism 10 may include elastic parts such as springs. At this time, the floating process of the pipeline floating mechanism 10 can be realized by using the expansion and contraction of the spring.
[0059] Furthermore, the pipeline floating mechanism 10 may further include a fixed platform. The fixed platform is arranged below the pipeline support assembly 1, and the spring in the pipeline floating mechanism 10 is connected between the fixed platform and the pipeline support assembly 1.
[0060] In addition, the pipeline floating mechanism 10 may further include a guide post. One of the fixed platform and the pipeline support assembly 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide post, and the other is slidably connected to the other end of the guide post.
[0061] The guide post is used to improve the stability of the floating process of the pipeline support assembly 1 and the pipeline thereon, and prevent the pipeline from shifting in the horizontal direction.
[0062] As Figure 1 shown, the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment further includes a part floating mechanism 20. The part floating mechanism 20 is connected to the part support assembly 2, and the part floating mechanism 20 is used to float as the part on the part support assembly 2 moves when the fastener on the fastener support assembly 3 contracts.
[0063] Similarly, during the process of the fastener generating a vertical displacement during the locking process, since the part and the pipeline are inserted and connected within the fastener, if the fastener generates a vertical displacement and the part cannot move accordingly, the part will be subjected to a vertical shear force, and there is a situation where the part is damaged.
[0064] Based on this, the preferred component assembly device of this embodiment further includes a part floating mechanism 20. The part floating mechanism 20 can float up and down, thereby providing a vertical movement space for the parts on the part support assembly 2, so that during the fastening process of the fasteners, the parts can move vertically together with the fasteners, achieving the purpose of protecting the parts.
[0065] Among them, the part floating mechanism 20 can also include elastic components such as springs. At this time, the telescopic movement of the spring can be used to realize the floating process of the part floating mechanism 20.
[0066] Furthermore, the part floating mechanism 20 can also include a support platform. The support platform is arranged below the part support assembly 2, and the spring in the part floating mechanism 20 is connected between the support platform and the part support assembly 2.
[0067] In addition, the part floating mechanism 20 can also include a guide rod. One of the support platform and the part support assembly 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod, and the other is slidably connected to the other end of the guide rod.
[0068] The guide rod is used to improve the stability of the floating process of the part support assembly 2 and the parts thereon, preventing the parts from shifting in the horizontal direction.
[0069] As Figure 1 shown, the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment further includes a control component 7. The plugging drive component and the locking drive component 4 are both connected to the control component 7, and the control component 7 is used to control the plugging drive component and the locking drive component 4 to open and close successively.
[0070] The control component 7 can adopt intelligent control devices such as computers. The control component 7 can be preset with the sequence and working duration of each process during the assembly process. Based on this setting, the control component 7 can orderly control the working states of the plugging drive component and the locking drive component 4, thereby realizing the automatic plugging between the pipeline and the parts and realizing the automatic locking of the fasteners.
[0071] It can be seen that the control component 7 can cooperate with the plugging drive component and the locking drive component 4 to realize the automation of the plugging between the pipeline and the parts and the automation of the locking of the fasteners, thereby effectively improving the operation efficiency and reducing the number of workers and the labor cost of workers.
[0072] When the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment further includes a pipeline detection component, a fastener detection component, and a part detection component, the pipeline detection component, the fastener detection component, and the part detection component can all be connected to the control component 7 and send their respective detection results to the control component 7. The control component 7 can then judge whether the pipeline, the fastener, and the part are respectively placed in place according to the detection results received by it. If the pipeline, the fastener, and the part are all placed in place, the control component 7 can control the insertion driving component and the locking driving component 4 to start successively, so as to ensure accurate insertion between the pipeline and the part and ensure accurate locking of the fastener. If any one of the pipeline, the fastener, and the part is not placed in place, the control component 7 controls the insertion driving component and the locking driving component 4 to be closed until the pipeline, the fastener, and the part are all placed in place before controlling the insertion driving component and the locking driving component 4 to start successively.
[0073] In addition, when the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment further includes an insertion-in-place detection component 6, the insertion-in-place detection component 6 can also be connected to the control component 7 and send the information detected by it to the control component 7. The control component 7 can then judge whether the pipeline and the part are inserted in place in the fastener according to the detection result of the insertion-in-place detection component 6. If the insertion is in place, the control component 7 controls the locking driving component 4 to start, so as to perform the fastener locking operation. If the insertion is not in place, the control component 7 controls the locking driving component 4 to be closed to prevent the failure of pipeline component assembly.
[0074] To further ensure the locking-in-place effect of the fastener, the pipeline component assembly device provided in this embodiment can further include a locking force detection component or a displacement detection component. Both the locking force detection component and the displacement detection component can be arranged on the locking driving component 4. The locking force detection component is used to detect the thrust applied by the locking driving component 4 to the fastening clip when the fastener is locked, and the displacement detection component is used to detect the moving position of the output end of the locking driving component 4 when the fastener is locked.
[0075] The locking force detection component or the displacement detection component can be connected to the control component 7 and can send their respective detection information to the control component 7 in real time. At this time, a target thrust or a target displacement is preset on the control component 7. When the thrust value detected by the locking force detection component reaches the target thrust, it means that the fastener is locked in place. At this time, the control component 7 can control the locking driving component 4 to be closed to complete the fastener locking process. Correspondingly, when the displacement value detected by the displacement detection component reaches the target displacement, it can also mean that the fastener is locked in place. At this time, the control component 7 can also control the locking driving component 4 to be closed to complete the fastener locking process.
[0076] To further improve the automation level of the pipeline component assembly device, the seal detection component 5 can also be connected to the control component 7. The seal detection component 5 can be opened and closed under the control of the control component 7, and send the airtightness information it detects to the control component 7; the control component 7 is used to judge whether the airtightness of the inserted pipeline and parts is qualified according to the received airtightness information.
[0077] Specifically, a seal detection program can be preset on the control component 7. Based on this seal detection program, the control component 7 can control the seal detection component 5 to start after the pipeline component assembly is completed, so as to automatically perform seal detection on the assembled pipeline component.
[0078] In this embodiment, the parts on the part support component 2 are communicated with the seal detection component 5, and a seal is blocked in the pipeline on the pipeline support component 1.
[0079] At this time, the seal detection component 5 only forms a one-way path with the assembled pipeline component. When performing airtightness detection on the assembled pipeline component, the seal detection component 5 is started to supply gas to the parts by the seal detection component 5. Then the gas will flow into the pipeline and then be blocked by the seal. The seal detection component 5 can also include a pressure detector, which is used to detect the air pressure in the above one-way path. If the airtightness of the assembled pipeline component is not good and there is an air leakage point, the air pressure detected by the pressure detector will decrease; if the airtightness of the assembled pipeline component is better, the detected air pressure will either remain unchanged or continue to rise as the gas is continuously introduced.
[0080] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the seal detection component 5 can include two gas supply ends. One gas supply end of the seal detection component 5 is communicated with the parts on the part support component 2 for supplying gas into the parts; the other gas supply end of the seal detection component 5 is connected to the seal for driving the seal into the pipeline on the pipeline support component 1.
[0081] Among them, one gas supply end of the seal detection component 5 is connected to the parts on the part support component 2 through an air pipe 50, and the other gas supply end is also connected to the seal through the air pipe 50.
[0082] After placing the parts on the part support component 2, one gas supply end of the seal detection component 5 can be communicated with the parts. After placing the pipeline on the pipeline support component 1, the seal detection component 5 can also be started to supply gas to the seal through the air pipe 50, so as to apply pressure to the seal to push the seal into the pipeline. After the seal enters the pipeline, it will block and seal one end of the pipeline away from the parts.
[0083] Specifically, the seal detection assembly 5 may include an air pump and a barometric pressure detector. The air pump is used to supply gas, and the above-mentioned gas supply end is arranged on the air pump; the barometric pressure detector may adopt a barometric pressure sensor, which may be arranged at the gas supply end of the air pump.
[0084] As Figure 1 shown, the pipeline assembly device provided in this embodiment further includes a waste bin 8, and the waste bin 8 is used to accommodate the plugged pipelines and parts with unqualified airtightness.
[0085] When the pipeline assembly is assembled and the seal detection assembly 5 detects that the airtightness of the pipeline assembly is unqualified, the unqualified pipeline assembly can be put into the waste bin 8 by means of manual or robotic arm and other devices to recycle the unqualified products.
[0086] Furthermore, a waste detection component is arranged in the waste bin 8. The waste detection component is connected to the control component 7. The waste detection component is used to detect whether the plugged pipelines and parts are placed in the waste bin 8 and send the detection information to the control component 7; the control component 7 is used to control the plugging drive component and the locking drive component 4 to close when it judges that the airtightness of the plugged pipelines and parts is unqualified and the detection result of the waste detection component is negative.
[0087] The waste detection component can adopt detection instruments such as photoelectric sensors or cameras. The waste detection component can cooperate with the control component 7 to automatically close the plugging drive component and the locking drive component 4 when the seal detection assembly 5 detects a pipeline assembly with unqualified airtightness and the unqualified product is not put into the waste bin 8, so as to timely abort the subsequent pipeline assembly process and prevent the outflow of unqualified products mixed.
[0088] In addition, the control component 7 can also automatically calculate and generate a material list for replenishment production based on the number of unqualified products, so as to facilitate the staff to quickly replenish materials for continuous production. And, the control component 7 can also preset a maximum limit value for unqualified products. When the number of unqualified products it counts is greater than the maximum limit value of unqualified products, the control component 7 can control the entire pipeline assembly device to shut down, so as to stop the assembly work, prevent the phenomenon of batch defects in pipeline assemblies, and further prevent material waste.
[0089] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: it is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
