Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts testing and processing, and in particular to an airbag air tube pressing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive waist support line is a crucial component in automotive parts inspection, and its demand continues to increase with the development of the automotive industry. While there are some differences in the technical level and application of automotive waist support lines between domestic and international manufacturers, both are generally showing a trend of continuous improvement.

[0003] Extensive searching revealed a Chinese patent publication number, CN214445737U, which discloses a clamping fixture for a car side airbag, including a base plate, a support unit, a first clamping unit, and a second clamping unit. The support unit is used to support the car side airbag. The first and second clamping units are arranged linearly from left to right to cooperate in clamping the outer wall of the car side airbag. The first clamping unit includes a first support base, a first power element, a front gripper, and a rear gripper. When the first power element is activated, the front gripper moves relative to the rear gripper in opposite directions to clamp / release the outer wall of the car side airbag in the front-rear direction. The second clamping unit includes a downward pressure gripper and a second power element. The downward pressure gripper is positioned directly above the support unit. When the second power element is activated, the downward pressure gripper reciprocates, assisting the support unit in clamping / releasing the outer wall of the car side airbag in the vertical direction.

[0036] 2. On the base plate 1, near the right rear end, a first pressing assembly and a second pressing assembly are installed side by side from front to back. A contour block 23 is installed on the base plate 1 near the center of the rear end via a contour block mounting plate 22. A pump body, a controller, and an air pipe connected to the front-end product 24 are placed in the contour groove on the contour block 23. The first pressing assembly is used to press down the air pipe below, and the second pressing assembly is used to press down the pump body and controller below.

[0037] The first pressing assembly includes a pressing cylinder 14 and a pressing head mounting plate 16. The pressing cylinder 14 is installed at the bottom of the product placement plate 4. The driving end at the top of the pressing cylinder 14 is connected to the bottom right side of the pressing head mounting plate 16 through a pressing cylinder tension block 15.

[0040] Brief description of the working process of this utility model:

[0041] like Figure 2 When the device is not in operation, the pressure head mounting plates 16 of the first and second pressure components are both in a raised state, and the product placement plate 4 is located near the front end.

[0042] like Figure 3When the device is in operation, the product 24 is manually placed into the cavity on the product placement plate 4. The pump body, controller, and air pipe connected to the product 24 at the front end are placed in the contour groove on the contour block 23. The pressing cylinder 6 drives the product placement plate 4 to move towards the rear end until it reaches the working position. Then, the pressing head mounting plates 16 of the first pressing assembly and the second pressing assembly move downward under the action of the pressing cylinder 14, thereby pressing the product 24, pump body, controller, and air pipe connected to the product 24 at the front end, respectively.

[0043] In this mechanism, the pump body, controller, and airbag are placed within a contour-following positioning fixture. The air tube extending from the airbag is then placed into the assembly cavity. A cylinder drives a lower pressure head to press the air tube firmly. A clamping cylinder then moves the cavity to insert the air tube into the various inlet and outlet ports of the pump body control unit (controller). The fixtures, cavities, and pressure heads used in the design process all employ contour-following designs and can be combined with a hook-and-loop fastener structure. This mechanism prevents the air tube from deforming and sliding inside the cavity during pressing and assembly, thus significantly improving the product yield.

[0044] This utility model can simultaneously complete the pressing process of the product, the pump body, controller and multiple connecting air pipes that are compatible with the product. It has strong comprehensive performance, simple structural design and low cost. The product placement plate can drive the product to move in the front and back direction, which facilitates the loading and unloading process of the product and does not interfere with the rear-end components.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
