Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model discloses a sampling tube assembly device, which includes a turntable assembly and an assembly assembly 3; the turntable assembly includes a transport turntable 2 rotating in a vertical plane, and a plurality of clamping grooves are opened on the outer edge of the transport turntable 2; the assembly assembly 3 is arranged at the end face of the transport turntable 2, and the assembly assembly 3 includes a translation mechanism, a reaming mechanism and an end head assembly mechanism; the clamping groove is used to clamp the sampling tube 1 and make the assembly end of the sampling tube 1 face the assembly assembly 3; the transport turntable 2 is used to transport the sampling tube 1 and send the assembly end of the sampling tube 1 to the reaming mechanism and the end head assembly mechanism in turn; the translation mechanism drives the reaming mechanism and the end head assembly mechanism to move, so that the reaming mechanism moves toward a clamping groove on the transport turntable 2, and the end head assembly mechanism moves toward another clamping groove on the transport turntable 2; the reaming mechanism is used to enlarge the hole at the assembly end of the sampling tube 1; the end head assembly mechanism is used to install the end head into the assembly end of the sampling tube 1.
[0033] Due to the above structure, when assembling the sampling tube 1, the sampling tube 1 is placed in the clamping groove on the transport turntable 2, so that the sampling tube 1 is parallel to the rotating axis of the transport turntable, and the assembly end of the sampling tube 1 is located near the end face of the transport turntable 2. When the assembly component 3 is located near the end face of the transport turntable 2, the assembly work is convenient. When the transport turntable drives the sampling tube 1 in the first clamping groove to move to the reaming mechanism, the translation mechanism can drive the reaming mechanism to insert the assembly end of the sampling tube 1 and perform the reaming operation on the assembly end of the sampling tube 1. After the reaming operation is completed, the sampling tube 1 in the first clamping groove is rotated to the end assembly mechanism, and the sampling tube 1 in the second clamping groove can be rotated to the reaming mechanism for reaming. When the sampling tube 1 in the first clamping groove is rotated to the end assembly mechanism, the translation mechanism drives the end assembly mechanism close to the assembly end of the sampling tube 1, and then the end assembly can install the end into the assembly end of the sampling tube 1, completing the assembly of the sampling tube 1. The transport turntable 2 rotates continuously, and the reaming mechanism and the end assembly mechanism work simultaneously to process the sampling tubes 1 in different clamping grooves, thereby being able to continuously perform reaming and end assembly, thereby improving the production and processing efficiency of the sampling tubes 1.
[0034] The assembly equipment of the present invention can replace manual labor in assembling the end cap onto the sampling tube 1, thereby improving the production and processing efficiency of the sampling tube 1 and reducing labor fatigue. The present invention uses a transport turntable 2 to transport the sampling tube 1, making the entire assembly equipment more compact compared to a belt conveyor.
[0035] As shown in FIG1 , the top of the clamping groove is open and the bottom is arc-shaped, and both ends of the clamping groove pass through the surface of the transport turntable 2. The clamping grooves are opened on the outer edge of the transport turntable 2 at equal intervals.
[0036] The transport turntable 2 is arranged on a horizontally arranged rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on the frame 6; the rotating shaft is connected to the driving motor on the frame 6.
[0037] Furthermore, the translation mechanism includes a base plate 304, a translation plate 303 and a translation plate cylinder 305; the base plate 304 is horizontally arranged, the translation plate 303 is slidingly arranged on the base plate 304, the translation plate cylinder 305 is fixedly arranged on the base plate 304 and connected to the translation plate 303, and the translation plate cylinder 305 is used to drive the translation plate 303 to move toward the end face of the transport turntable 2; the reaming mechanism and the end assembly mechanism are both arranged on the translation plate 303; in the transport direction of the sampling tube 1, the reaming mechanism is located upstream of the end assembly mechanism.
[0038] like Figure 2As shown, the translation plate 303 is set on the bottom plate 304 through the slide rail, and the bottom plate 304 is set on the frame 6; the extension and contraction direction of the translation plate cylinder 305 is parallel to the rotation axis of the transport turntable 2.
[0039] Furthermore, the reaming mechanism includes a reaming head 301 , which is arranged on a translation plate 303 via a reaming head mounting seat 302 , and a reaming end of the reaming head 301 faces the end surface of the transport turntable 2 .
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the reaming mechanism is located on one side of the translation plate 303 close to the end surface of the transport turntable 2, and the reaming end of the reaming head 301 extends out of the translation plate 303, so that the reaming end is easily inserted into the assembly end of the sampling tube 1.
[0041] Furthermore, the end head assembly mechanism includes an end head storage chamber 307, a push rod and a push rod cylinder 306; the end head storage chamber 307 is arranged on the translation plate 303, and the end head storage chamber 307 is a hollow structure with both ends through, one end opening of the end head storage chamber 307 is a discharge port 308, and the other end opening is a push rod insertion port; a feed port is provided on the side of the end head storage chamber 307; one end of the push rod is located in the push rod insertion port, and the other end is connected to the push rod cylinder 306, and the push rod cylinder 306 is arranged on the translation plate 303; the discharge port 308 faces the end face of the transport turntable 2; the push rod cylinder 306 is used to drive the push rod to move, so that the push rod pushes the end head in the end head storage chamber 307 out of the discharge port 308, and pushes the end head into the assembly end of the sampling tube 1.
[0042] Due to the above structure, when the discharge port 308 is aligned with the assembly end of the sampling tube 1, the push rod can push the tip into the sampling tube 1, completing the assembly of the sampling tube 1. During assembly, the tip is first placed in the strip-shaped tip storage cavity 307 and then pushed toward the sampling tube 1. The tip storage cavity 307 ensures smooth movement of the tip without deviation. If the tip storage cavity 307 is not present and a push rod is used to push the tip directly, the tip will deviate during the pushing process, resulting in inaccurate assembly.
[0043] Furthermore, the translation mechanism is also provided with an end-tip pressing mechanism, which drives the end-tip pressing mechanism to move toward a clamping slot on the transport turntable 2. The end-tip pressing mechanism is used to press the end of the end-tip, pressing it tightly against the assembly end of the sampling tube 1. The end-tip pressing mechanism includes a pressing head 310, which is mounted on the translation plate 303 via a pressing head mounting seat 309. The pressing end of the pressing head 310 faces the end surface of the transport turntable 2. In the transport direction of the sampling tube 1, the end-tip pressing mechanism is located downstream of the end-tip assembly mechanism.
[0044] Due to the presence of the end pressing mechanism, when the transport turntable 2 drives the sampling tube 1 with the assembled end to move to the end pressing mechanism, the end pressing mechanism can press the end tightly onto the sampling tube 1 to ensure assembly quality.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the reaming mechanism, the end-tip assembly mechanism, and the end-tip pressing mechanism are sequentially arranged on the translation plate 303 in the direction of transport of the sampling tubes 1. Each of these mechanisms must be aligned with a clamping slot on the transport turntable 2. Therefore, the discharge port 308 of the end-tip storage chamber 307 is higher than the reaming head 301, and the arc formed by the discharge port 308 of the end-tip storage chamber 307 and the reaming head 301 must match the arc formed by the centers of the sampling tubes 1 within the clamping slot.
[0046] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, a strip hole running through from top to bottom can be opened on the pressing head mounting seat 309 , two bolts are inserted into the strip, and the lower ends of the bolts are connected to the translation plate 303 ; the length direction of the strip hole is parallel to the rotation axis of the transport turntable 2 .
[0047] Due to the above structure, the position of the pressing head mounting seat 309 can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that the pressing head 310 is close to or away from the end surface of the transport turntable 2.
[0048] Furthermore, a terminal loading device is provided at the feed port of the terminal storage chamber 307 , and the terminal loading device is used to feed the terminal into the terminal storage chamber 307 .
[0049] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the end-end feeding device includes a vibrating plate 4, a feeding tube 314, a pushing channel 311, and a pushing mechanism. The pushing channel 311 is strip-shaped, and the outlet at the end of the pushing channel 311 is connected to the feed port on the side of the end-end storage chamber 307. The feeding tube 314 is connected to the vibrating plate 4 at one end and to the side of the pushing channel 311 at the other end. The vibrating plate 4 vibrates, sending the end-end inside it into the pushing channel 311 through the feeding tube 314. The pushing mechanism is used to push the end-end inside the pushing channel 311 into the end-end storage chamber 307. The pushing channel 311 and the pushing mechanism are both arranged on the translation plate 303. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder 313 and a pushing rod 312. The pushing rod 312 is located in the pushing channel 311 and is connected to the pushing cylinder 313. The vibrating plate 4 is arranged on the frame 6.
[0050] Furthermore, the sampling tube assembly equipment also includes an assembly pressing component 5, which is used to press the outer edge of the transport turntable 2 to press the sampling tube 1 tightly into the clamping groove; the assembly pressing component 5 presses on the outer edge of the turntable at the assembly component 3.
[0051] Due to the existence of the pressing mechanism, when the sampling tube 1 is compressed, the sampling tube 1 can be prevented from axially moving when the end assembly mechanism and the end pressing mechanism are working.
[0052] The assembly pressing component 5 includes a pressing cylinder 502 and a pressing plate 501 ; the pressing cylinder 502 is used to drive the pressing plate 501 to move so that the pressing plate 501 is pressed on the outer edge of the transport turntable 2 .
[0053] The assembly component 3 is located at the upper outer edge of the transport turntable; the assembly pressing component 5 is arranged above the transport turntable 2, and the pressing cylinder 502 is fixedly arranged and located above the transport turntable 2. The pressing cylinder 502 drives the pressing plate 501 to move downward, so that the pressing plate 501 is pressed on the upper outer edge of the transport turntable.
[0054] like Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the upper end of the pressing plate 501 is connected to the pressing cylinder 502, and the pressing cylinder 502 is fixedly set on the bracket, so that the entire assembly pressing component 5 is located above the turntable component; the bracket is located next to the turntable component, and the lower end of the bracket can be fixedly set on the frame 6; the shape of the lower end of the pressing plate 501 matches the outer edge of the transport turntable 2.
[0055] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
