[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A multi-axis adjustable automatic gas distribution device, comprising:

[0006] A gas-distributing plug gun, which is inserted into the inflation hole of the product to inflate the product;

[0007] A Z-direction drive mechanism, which drives the air distribution plug gun to move in the Z direction and inserts the air distribution plug gun into the product inflation hole;

[0008] The horizontal position adjustment structure is used to drive the Z-direction drive mechanism and its air distribution plug gun to move in the horizontal direction so that the air distribution plug gun moves to the top of the product inflation hole.

[0009] Preferably, the horizontal position adjustment structure includes an X-direction drive mechanism and a Y-direction drive mechanism, and the X-direction drive mechanism and the Y-direction drive mechanism correspondingly drive the Z-direction drive mechanism and its gas distribution plug gun to move in the X and Y directions.

[0010] Preferably, the Y-direction driving mechanism includes a Y-direction slide rail, a Y-direction slide table slidingly engaged with the Y-direction slide rail, and a Y-direction pneumatic shaft driving the Y-direction slide table to slide along the Y-direction slide rail.

[0011] Preferably, the X-axis driving mechanism includes an X-axis slide rail mounted on the Y-axis slide table, and an X-axis slide table slidably engaged with the X-axis slide rail.

[0012] Preferably, the X-axis slide is connected to a thread locker for locking the X-axis slide and the X-axis slide rail.

[0013] Preferably, a turntable is provided on the X-axis slide, and the Z-axis drive mechanism is connected to the turntable, and the turntable drives the Z-axis drive mechanism and its air distribution gun to rotate perpendicular to the horizontal direction.

[0014] Preferably, the Z-axis driving mechanism includes a slide cylinder, and the slide cylinder is connected to the air distribution gun.

[0015] Preferably, the gas distribution gun includes a gun sleeve and a gun body with a threaded locking structure. The gun body is movably installed in the gun sleeve, and a spring is provided between the gun sleeve to enable the gun body to float axially along the gun sleeve.

[0016] Preferably, the gas distribution plug gun further comprises a gas distribution extension joint connected to the plug gun body; and / or, the gas distribution plug gun further comprises an adjustable plunger, which is connected to the side wall of the plug gun sleeve and is used to adjust the radial position of the plug gun body in the plug gun sleeve.

[0017] Preferably, the automatic gas distribution device further comprises a support and a platform provided on top of the support, and the horizontal position adjustment structure is mounted on the platform.

[0018] The utility model adopts the above technical solution, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Insert the air distribution gun into the product's inflation hole to inflate the product. The Z-axis drive mechanism drives the air distribution gun to move in the Z direction and ensures that the air distribution gun can smoothly cooperate with the product's inflation hole. In addition, the horizontal position adjustment structure is used to drive the Z-axis drive mechanism and its air distribution gun to move in the horizontal direction, including X-axis movement and Y-axis movement, so that the air distribution gun moves to just above the product's inflation hole. Through multi-axis adjustment, the requirements of most brake calipers for the air distribution module during drag detection can be adapted, and automatic air distribution can be achieved to improve air distribution efficiency.

[0020] 2. The X-drive mechanism includes an X-track mounted on the Y-track, an X-track that slides with the X-track, and a threaded locker for locking. The X-drive mechanism utilizes a manually adjustable and locking structure for manually adjusting and locking the rotating disk's position on the horizontal X-axis. The Y-drive mechanism uses a Y-pneumatic shaft to drive the Y-track along the Y-track, achieving Y-axis movement of the gas distribution module. Furthermore, the X-track is equipped with a turntable, to which the Z-drive mechanism is connected. This turntable drives the Z-drive mechanism and its gas distribution gun to rotate perpendicular to the horizontal direction to adjust the tilt angle and achieve axial alignment with the inclined product's inflation hole. Therefore, through multi-directional movement (multi-axis adjustment), it can accommodate products of various specifications and facilitates product loading and unloading.

[0021] 3. The head end of the gun body is provided with a threaded locking structure, and the inflation hole of the product has its own internal thread, so the threaded locking of the gun body and the inflation hole of the product can be achieved.

In addition, the adjustable plunger is connected to the side wall of the gun sleeve to adjust the radial position of the gun body in the gun sleeve.

[0031] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the following embodiments and implementations may be combined with each other.

[0035] In order to solve the problem of low manual gas distribution efficiency, refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-axis adjustable automatic gas distribution device, including:

[0036] A gas distribution plug gun 1, which is inserted into the product inflation hole to inflate the product;

[0037] A Z-direction drive mechanism 2, which drives the air distribution plug-in gun 1 to move in the Z direction and insert the air distribution plug-in gun 1 into the product inflation hole;

[0038] The horizontal position adjustment structure is used to drive the Z-direction drive mechanism 2 and its gas distribution plug gun 1 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the gas distribution plug gun 1 moves to the top of the product inflation hole.

[0039] The Z direction is a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the horizontal movement is a combination of the X-direction and Y-direction movement. In this embodiment, the horizontal position adjustment structure includes an X-direction drive mechanism 5 and a Y-direction drive mechanism 4. The X-direction drive mechanism 5 and the Y-direction drive mechanism 4 drive the Z-direction drive mechanism 2 and its air distribution plug gun 1 to move in the X and Y directions respectively. The X-direction drive mechanism 5 and the Y-direction drive mechanism 4 are both linear drive mechanisms, which can be electric cylinder drive mechanisms or cylinder drive mechanisms, etc., and can be coordinated with linear guide rails to realize X-direction and Y-direction drive. Of course, manual adjustment is also possible. The specific structure can refer to the existing technology. Taking one of the structures shown in the figure as an example, the Y-direction drive mechanism 4 includes a Y-direction slide rail 41, a Y-direction slide table 42 that slides with the Y-direction slide rail, and a Y-direction pneumatic shaft 43 that drives the Y-direction slide table 42 to slide along the Y-direction slide rail 41. The Y-axis slide 42 and Y-axis rail 41 are arranged in pairs on the left and right sides. A Y-axis pneumatic shaft 43 is connected to a follower block 44, which is connected to a follower wheel 45 via a groove, forming a cam follower. The Y-axis pneumatic shaft 43 drives the follower block 44 to move linearly, and through the follower wheel 45, the Y-axis slide 42 slides along the Y-axis rail 41. Furthermore, the Y-axis pneumatic shaft 43 is connected to a Y-axis drag chain 46. An adjustable Y-axis stop 47, threaded for adjustment, can be provided at the end of the Y-axis to limit the Y-axis position of the Y-axis. The X-axis drive mechanism 5 includes an X-axis rail 51 mounted on the Y-axis slide and an X-axis slide 52 that slidably engages the X-axis rail. Here, the X-direction drive mechanism 5 is composed of a double guide rail and a guide rail locker. The X-direction drive mechanism 5 adopts a manually adjusted and locked structure, that is, the X-direction slide 52 is connected to a threaded locker 53 that locks the X-direction slide and the X-direction slide rail, which is used to manually adjust and lock the position of the rotating disk in the horizontal direction of the X-axis to adapt to products of various specifications.

[0040] The X-direction drive mechanism 5 and the Y-direction drive mechanism 4 cooperate to drive the Z-direction drive mechanism and its air distribution plug gun to move in the horizontal direction, including X-direction movement and Y-direction movement, so that the air distribution plug gun moves to just above the product inflation hole, thereby adapting to the air distribution module requirements of most brake calipers during drag detection through multi-axis adjustment, realizing automatic air distribution and improving air distribution efficiency.

[0041] In addition, the product inflation hole is not necessarily set vertically, but may also be set obliquely. In this case, the air distribution gun needs to be rotated a certain angle to axially align with the product inflation hole. Therefore, a turntable 3 is provided on the X-axis slide 52, and the Z-axis drive mechanism 2 is connected to the turntable 3. Specifically, a transition plate 31 can be provided on the turntable 3, and the Z-axis drive mechanism 2 is installed on the transition plate 31. The turntable drives the Z-axis drive mechanism 2 and its air distribution gun 1 to rotate perpendicular to the horizontal direction, that is, the position on the rotation direction B axis is adjusted to adjust the tilt angle to achieve axial alignment with the oblique product inflation hole. It is understandable that the turntable can be driven to rotate by a motor or can be adjusted manually. Taking manual adjustment as an example, a rotating shaft is provided at the center of the turntable, and a waist-shaped groove is provided at a position off the center of the turntable. The waist-shaped groove is connected to a locking screw. After the turntable rotates a certain angle around the rotating shaft, the locking screw can be tightened.

[0042] Specifically, the Z-axis driving mechanism 2 includes a slide cylinder 21, and the slide cylinder 21 is connected to the air distribution gun 1. The slide cylinder can adopt the structure of the prior art, which will not be described in detail.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the gas distribution gun 1 comprises a gun sleeve 11 and a gun body 12 with a threaded locking structure 121 at its tip. The gun body 12 is movably mounted within the gun sleeve 11, with its tip extending through the front cover of the gun sleeve to facilitate threaded connection between the threaded locking structure 121 and the product's inflation port. Furthermore, a spring 13 is provided between the rear end of the gun body 12 and the gun sleeve, allowing the gun body to float axially along the sleeve. One end of the spring 13 abuts the rear end of the gun body, while the other end abuts the rear cover of the gun sleeve. This spring allows the gas distribution gun to float up and down.

[0044] The gas distribution gun 1 also includes a gas distribution extension connector 14 connected to the gun body. The tail end of the gas distribution extension connector 14 is connected to the gas distribution pipe, and the head end of the gas distribution extension connector 14 passes through the rear end cover of the gun sleeve, passes through the spring, and then connects to the gun body. The gas distribution gun 1 also includes an adjustable plunger 15, which is connected to the side wall of the gun sleeve and is used to adjust the radial position of the gun body within the gun sleeve.

[0045] In addition, the automatic gas distribution device further includes a support 6 and a platform 7 provided on the top of the support, and the horizontal position adjustment structure is installed on the platform 7.

[0046] When a product needs to be inflated, the X-axis position and B-axis angle of the air distribution device are manually adjusted according to the location of the product's inflation hole. During use, the product is first positioned, and the air distribution gun 1 is pushed above the product by the Y-axis drive mechanism 4. The Z-axis drive mechanism 2 drives the air distribution gun 1 downward, inserting the gun body 12 into the product's inflation hole. At this time, the spring 13 in the gun sleeve is compressed. The threaded locking structure 121 engages the product's inflation hole, and the spring in the gun sleeve slightly extends, achieving the effect of the air distribution gun floating up and down, thus completing the air distribution operation.

[0047] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the utility model, but the scope of protection of the utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art will understand that the utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modifications that do not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the utility model are intended to be included within the scope of the claims.
