Detailed implementation manners
[0028] In order to be able to more clearly understand the technical means of the present utility model and implement it according to the content of the specification, the following combines the drawings and embodiments to further describe in detail the specific implementation manners of the present utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description, claims and drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so as to implement the embodiments of this application described herein.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0031] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, the utility model specifically relates to a hot insertion and press-fitting device for assembling intercooler components. The clamping tooling transports the intercooler housing, nuts, and PVC plate sleeves 334 to the assembly area respectively, including a press-fitting workbench 310 for positioning the intercooler housing, a hot insertion tooling 320 used in cooperation with the nuts at the upper end of the press-fitting workbench 310, and an avoidance and abutting tooling 330 provided on one side of the press-fitting workbench 310 for use in cooperation with the PVC plate sleeves 334.
[0032] The hot insertion tooling 320 includes a hot plug 323 and a nut picking component. The nut picking component adsorbs the nuts on the clamping tooling to the hot plug 323 for heating, and inserts the heated nuts into the intercooler housing.
[0033] The avoidance and abutting tooling 330 includes an avoidance linear translation module and a vacuum suction head 333 capable of adsorbing the PVC plate sleeves 334. The avoidance linear translation module assembles the PVC plate sleeves 334 into the intercooler housing through the vacuum suction head 333.
[0034] It should be noted that the main work of this equipment is to assemble nuts and PVC plate sleeves 334 into the intercooler housing. The traditional manual assembly method is inefficient and the assembly accuracy is not high. Therefore, in this embodiment, a fully automated processing method is adopted to quickly assemble nuts and PVC plate sleeves 334 into the intercooler housing.
[0035] First, the nut picking component reaches the designated position. The clamping tooling (not marked in the figure) moves the nuts to the nut picking component. The nut picking component grabs the nuts and moves them to the original position, and heats the nuts through the hot plug 323.
[0036] The clamping tooling positions and places the intercooler housing on the press-fitting workbench 310. At this time, the avoidance and abutting tooling 330 is in the original position. When the placement of the intercooler housing is completed, the avoidance and abutting tooling 330 moves to the designated position. The clamping tooling places the PVC plate sleeves 334 on the vacuum suction head 333 of the avoidance and abutting tooling 330, and adsorbs and fixes the PVC plate sleeves 334 through the vacuum suction head 333.
[0037] At this time, the nuts have been heated to a certain temperature. The nut picking component assembles the heated nuts into the intercooler housing to achieve hot melt assembly.
[0038] When the nut assembly is completed, the avoidance linear translation module squeezes the PVC plate sleeves 334 into the intercooler housing through the vacuum suction head 333 to complete the assembly of the PVC plate sleeves 334.
[0039] After the above actions are completed, the clamping tooling removes the assembled intercooler housing.
[0040] Meanwhile, the avoidance abutting tooling 330 moves to the original position.
[0041] The nut picking component includes a picking telescopic cylinder 321 and a picking clamp 322 provided at the telescopic end of the picking telescopic cylinder 321. The hot plug 323 is fixed to the picking telescopic cylinder 321 through a connecting plate, and the picking clamp 322 moves relative to the hot plug 323.
[0042] Among them, the picking telescopic cylinder 321 can drive the picking clamp 322 to linearly move to complete the picking and assembling of the nut. In addition, the picking clamp 322 is a structure capable of fixing the nut, and the nut is fixed by abutting against the inner ring of the nut. The details are not described here.
[0043] When the picking clamp 322 is in the initial position, the hot plug 323 can heat the nut located on the picking clamp 322. During this process, the position of the hot plug 323 does not change.
[0044] The hot plug 323 is provided with a hot plug block 324 that is used in cooperation with the picking clamp 322 and has an opening 3341 in the middle. The picking clamp 322 passes through the opening 3341 and moves relative to the hot plug 323.
[0045] Among them, the picking clamp 322 and the nut located on the picking clamp 322 are located in the opening 3341 of the hot plug block 324, and the picking clamp 322 and the nut are covered through the opening 3341 of the hot plug block 324, so that the hot plug 323 can uniformly heat the nut and make the surface of the nut evenly heated.
[0046] In addition, the hot plug 323 and the hot plug block 324 are components capable of heating objects and are conventional structures in the prior art. Their functions and principles are not described in detail.
[0047] The inner diameter of the opening 3341 is larger than the outer diameter of the nut, and the inner diameter of the opening 3341 is larger than the outer diameter of the picking clamp 322.
[0048] It further includes an oil spraying tooling 340 provided on one side of the hot plug tooling 320. The oil spraying tooling 340 includes an oil spraying vertical moving cylinder 341, an oil spraying horizontal moving cylinder 342 connected to the oil spraying vertical moving cylinder 341, and an oil spraying nozzle 343 connected to the oil spraying horizontal moving cylinder 342. The oil spraying nozzle 343 sprays oil on the nut installation area of the intercooler housing.
[0049] The oil spraying nozzle 343 is connected to an oil pump, and oil is sprayed into the position of the nut to be installed in the intercooler housing through the oil pump and the oil spraying nozzle 343, and lubricated through oil spraying to ensure smoother nut assembly.
[0050] The main functions of the fuel injection vertical movement cylinder 341 and the fuel injection horizontal movement cylinder 342 are to move the fuel injector 343 to ensure that the fuel injector 343 can move to the specified position.
[0051] A fuel collecting box 344 is provided below the fuel injector 343 to prevent the dripping of residual oil stains after fuel injection.
[0052] The avoidance linear translation module includes an avoidance vertical linear translation module 331 and an avoidance horizontal linear translation module 332 provided on the avoidance linear translation module through a column. The vacuum suction head 333 is provided on the avoidance horizontal linear translation module 332.
[0053] Among them, the function of the avoidance vertical linear translation module 331 is to adjust the position of the entire avoidance abutting tooling 330 to avoid interference with the clamping tooling when placing the intercooler housing. After the intercooler housing is placed, the avoidance vertical linear translation module 331 is used to move the avoidance abutting tooling 330 to the specified position so that the clamping tooling can place the PVC plate sleeve 334 on the vacuum suction head 333 and be adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum suction head 333.
[0054] After the nut assembly after heating mentioned above is completed, the avoidance horizontal linear translation module 332 drives the vacuum suction head 333 to move to squeeze the PVC plate sleeve 334 adsorbed on the vacuum suction head 333 into the intercooler housing.
[0055] The vacuum suction head 333 is connected to the avoidance horizontal linear translation module 332 through a buffer assembly 335. The buffer assembly 335 buffers the squeezing process of the vacuum suction head 333 to avoid rigid contact between the PVC plate sleeve 334 and the inside of the intercooler housing and damage to the intercooler housing or the PVC plate sleeve 334 during the assembly process.
[0056] The press-fitting workbench 310 is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 311 for use with the intercooler housing. The position of the intercooler housing is defined by the positioning blocks 311 to prevent the position of the intercooler housing from changing during the assembly process.
[0057] The press-fitting workbench 310 is further provided with a press-fitting cylinder 3121. The telescopic end of the press-fitting cylinder 3121 is movably connected to a pressing plate 3122, and one side of the pressing plate 3122 is movably connected to the press-fitting cylinder 3121 through a connecting rod 3123.
[0058] The pressing plate 3122 is movably connected to the telescopic end and the body of the press-fitting cylinder 3121 respectively. Using the principle of movable connection and lever, when the press-fitting cylinder 3121 is started, the pressing plate 3122 presses and fixes the upper end of the intercooler housing to further ensure the stability of the intercooler housing.
[0059] The above embodiments are only specific implementation manners of the present utility model, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or can easily think of changes, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model, and should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
