Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive parts processing and manufacturing equipment, and in particular, relates to a double-layer clamp assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of automotive parts, clamps provide a secure fastening effect between pipeline systems such as oil lines, hoses, and electronic wiring. Because the strength and durability of clamps significantly impact the sealing performance of automotive piping systems, double-layer clamps are often used to tighten the connections, thereby improving the overall airtightness of the automotive piping system.

[0003] Currently, when assembling double-layer clamps, due to the greater rigidity and elasticity of the outer clamp, double-layer clamp assembly equipment is generally required to expand the outer clamp outward before fitting it onto the inner clamp. However, in the process of assembling double-layer clamps, if the outer and inner clamps cannot be aligned and slight deviations occur, the expanded outer clamp will be difficult to fit smoothly onto the inner clamp, easily reducing the assembly efficiency of double-layer clamps. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a double-layer clamp assembly device to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the outer clamp and the inner clamp cannot be aligned during the assembly of double-layer clamps, resulting in deviation and making it difficult to smoothly fit the expanded outer clamp onto the inner clamp.

[0009] A tapered expansion column is fixedly mounted on the support assembly. The end of the tapered expansion column with a smaller diameter is the first end, and the end of the tapered expansion column with a larger diameter is the second end.

[0010] A pushing component is used to push the outer clamp fitted onto the tapered expansion column from the first end to the second end, thereby expanding the outer clamp; and

[0011] The drive assembly includes a first linear driver for driving the push assembly and a second linear driver for driving the positioning seat to move axially along the tapered expansion column;

[0012] Specifically, when the second linear actuator drives the positioning seat to move to the first position, the positioning seat abuts against the second end of the tapered expansion column, and the central axis of the positioning seat is collinear with the central axis of the tapered expansion column; when the second linear actuator drives the positioning seat to move to the second position, the positioning seat moves away from the second end of the tapered expansion column, and the central axis of the positioning seat is collinear with the central axis of the tapered expansion column.

[0013] Furthermore, the double-layer clamp assembly equipment also includes a linear slide rail mechanism that guides the pushing component to move axially along the conical expansion column. The linear slide rail mechanism includes a linear guide rail fixedly installed on the support component and a slider slidably mounted on the linear guide rail. The pushing component is connected to the slider.

[0014] Furthermore, the pushing component includes a slide table slidably disposed on the support component, a fixed seat connected to the slide table, and a pushing member disposed on the fixed seat. The pushing member is used to push the inner clamp sleeved on the conical expansion column from the first end to the second end.

[0016] Furthermore, the fixed base is provided with a plurality of pushing members, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the tapered expansion column.

[0017] Furthermore, the fixed base is provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the conical expansion column, and the pushing member is located in the clearance groove.

[0018] Furthermore, a positioning post is protruding on the end face of the second end of the tapered expansion column, and a positioning groove is recessed on the positioning seat for the positioning post to be inserted.

[0019] Furthermore, the positioning seat includes a seat body connected to the output end of the second linear driver and a positioning post disposed on the seat body, wherein the diameter of the positioning post is less than or equal to the diameter of the second end of the tapered expansion post.

[0020] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a first support base, a second support base, a third support base, a support beam with both ends respectively attached to the second support base and the third support base, and a connecting seat connecting the bottom of the tapered expansion column to the support beam.

[0023] The double-layer clamp assembly equipment in this embodiment of the invention uses a support component on the operating table to fix a tapered expansion column on the support component. A positioning seat is movably set on the operating table. As the positioning seat moves axially along the tapered expansion column, driven by the second linear actuator, the central axis of the positioning seat remains collinear with the central axis of the tapered expansion column. This ensures that the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column are always aligned, effectively preventing positional deviation between the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column. The first linear actuator drives the pushing component to push the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column from the first end to the second end to achieve expansion. Then, the pushing component can easily push the expanded outer clamp onto the inner clamp on the positioning seat, allowing the expanded outer clamp to be quickly and smoothly fitted onto the inner clamp, realizing automatic assembly of the double-layer clamp and improving the assembly efficiency of the double-layer clamp.

[0042] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6The double-layer clamp assembly equipment provided in this embodiment of the present invention will now be described. The double-layer clamp assembly equipment provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes an operating table 1, a support component 2, a positioning seat 3, a conical expansion column 4, a pushing component 5, and a driving component 6. The support component 2 is disposed on the table surface of the operating table 1, the positioning seat 3 is movably disposed on the operating table 1, and the conical expansion column 4 is fixedly disposed on the support component 2. The positioning seat 3 can position the inner clamp below the conical expansion column 4. The central axis of the positioning seat 3 is collinear with the central axis of the conical expansion column 4, which can keep the inner clamp aligned with the outer clamp fitted on the conical expansion column 4 and prevent positional deviation between the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the conical expansion column 4. The drive assembly 6 includes a first linear actuator 61 for driving the push assembly 5 and a second linear actuator 62 for driving the positioning seat 3 to move axially along the tapered expansion column 4. The end of the tapered expansion column 4 with a smaller diameter is the first end 41, and the end of the tapered expansion column 4 with a larger diameter is the second end 42. The push assembly 5 is connected to the first linear actuator 61. Under the driving action of the first linear actuator 61, the push assembly 5 can push the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column 4 from the first end 41 to the second end 42 to expand the outer clamp, so that the outer clamp is opened outward to form a C-shaped clamp with an opening. When assembling the double-layer clamps, the outer clamp is simply placed on the first end 41 of the tapered expansion column 4, and the inner clamp is positioned on the positioning seat 3. The positioning seat 3 is then moved to the first position by the second linear actuator 62, so that the positioning seat 3 abuts against the second end 42 of the tapered expansion column 4. When the central axis of the positioning seat 3 is collinear with the central axis of the tapered expansion column 4, the first linear actuator 61 drives the pushing component 5 to push the outer clamp on the tapered expansion column 4 from the first end 41 to the second end 42 to achieve expansion. Then, under the driving action of the first linear actuator 61, the pushing component 5 pushes the expanded outer clamp onto the inner clamp on the positioning seat 3, so that the expanded outer clamp is quickly and smoothly fitted onto the inner clamp, realizing the automatic assembly of the double-layer clamps. Then, the second linear actuator 62 drives the positioning seat 3 to move to the second position, so that the positioning seat 3 is away from the second end 42 of the tapered expansion column 4. At this time, the central axis of the positioning seat 3 and the central axis of the tapered expansion column 4 remain collinear, making it convenient for the operator to remove the assembled double-layer clamps from the positioning seat 3. At the same time, the second linear actuator 62 drives the pushing component 5 to reset to the initial position. The operator can then put another outer clamp on the first end 41 of the tapered expansion column 4 and position another inner clamp on the positioning seat 3. By repeating this process, the automatic and efficient assembly of the double-layer clamps can be achieved.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the double-layer clamp assembly equipment provided in this embodiment of the utility model, by setting a support component 2 on the table surface of the operating table 1, fixes the conical expansion column 4 on the support component 2, and movably sets a positioning seat 3 on the operating table 1, since the second linear actuator 62 drives the positioning seat 3 to move axially along the conical expansion column 4, the central axis of the positioning seat 3 always remains collinear with the central axis of the conical expansion column 4, which enables the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the conical expansion column 4 to always remain aligned. This effectively prevents positional deviation between the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column 4. The first linear actuator 61 drives the pushing component 5 to push the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column 4 from the first end 41 to the second end 42 to achieve expansion. Then, the pushing component 5 can easily push the expanded outer clamp onto the inner clamp on the positioning seat 3, so that the expanded outer clamp can be quickly and smoothly fitted onto the inner clamp, realizing the automatic assembly of the double clamps and improving the assembly efficiency of the double clamps.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the double-layer clamp assembly equipment further includes a linear slide rail mechanism 7 that guides the pushing component 5 to move axially along the conical expansion column 4. The linear slide rail mechanism 7 includes a linear guide rail 71 fixedly mounted on the support component 2 and a slider 72 slidably mounted on the linear guide rail 71. The pushing component 5 is connected to the slider 72. In this embodiment, the pushing component 5 is slidably mounted on the support component 2 through the linear slide rail mechanism 7, which cooperates with the linear guide rail 71 via the slider 72. This ensures the stability and reliability of the pushing component 5 moving axially along the conical expansion column 4, and prevents the pushing component 5 from shifting position during movement, thus affecting the assembly of the double-layer clamp.

[0045] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the pushing component 5 includes a slide 51 slidably disposed on the support component 2, a fixed seat 52 connected to the slide 51, and a pushing member 53 disposed on the fixed seat 52. The pushing member 53 is used to push the inner clamp sleeved on the conical expansion column 4 from the first end 41 to the second end 42. In this embodiment, the slide 51 is connected to the slider 72 of the linear slide rail mechanism 7, and the pushing member 53 is fixedly installed on the slide 51 through the fixed seat 52. The slide 51 is connected to the output end of the second linear actuator 62. When the second linear actuator 62 drives the slide 51 to move the pushing member 53 axially downward along the conical expansion column 4, the pushing member 53 can push the outer clamp sleeved on the conical expansion column 4 from the first end 41 to the second end 42 to expand the outer clamp, so that the outer clamp is opened outward to form a C-shaped clamp with an opening. Specifically, the pushing member 53 can be, but is not limited to, a sheet-like structure.

[0046] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the tapered expansion column 4 is provided with a guide groove 43 for guiding the pusher 53 to move axially along the tapered expansion column 4, and the pusher 53 is slidably inserted into the guide groove 43. In this embodiment, under the guidance of the guide groove 43, the pusher 53 can stably push the outer clamp sleeved on the tapered expansion column 4 downward along the axial direction of the tapered expansion column 4, so that the outer clamp sleeved on the tapered expansion column 4 moves from the first end 41 to the second end 42, thereby expanding the outer clamp.

[0047] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the fixed base 52 is provided with a plurality of pushing members 53, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the tapered expansion column 4. During the process of the plurality of pushing members 53 pushing the outer clamp sleeved on the tapered expansion column 4 downward along the axial direction of the tapered expansion column 4, the uniformity of the force applied to the outer clamp by the entire pushing assembly 5 is ensured.

[0048] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, in order to avoid interference between the fixing seat 52 and the tapered expansion column 4 and to ensure the balance of the force applied by the pusher 53 to the outer clamp, the fixing seat 52 is provided with a relief groove 54 for avoiding the tapered expansion column 4, and the pusher 53 is located in the relief groove 54.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figure 6In some embodiments, an alignment post 44 protrudes from the end face of the second end 42 of the tapered expansion column 4, and an alignment groove 33 is recessed on the positioning seat 3 for inserting the alignment post 44. When the second linear actuator 62 drives the positioning seat 3 to move to the first position, the alignment post 44 can be inserted into the alignment groove 33. After the alignment post 44 is inserted into the alignment groove 33, on the one hand, the central axis of the positioning seat 3 is collinear with the central axis of the tapered expansion column 4, and on the other hand, it prevents misalignment between the positioning seat 3 and the tapered expansion column 4, so that the positioning seat 3 and the tapered expansion column 4 are connected as one unit and maintain good concentricity. This ensures that the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column 4 are always aligned, effectively preventing positional deviation between the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column 4. It should be noted that the central axis of the alignment post 44 is collinear with the central axis of the tapered expansion column 4, and the central axis of the alignment groove 33 is collinear with the central axis of the positioning seat 3. Furthermore, after the alignment post 44 is inserted into the alignment groove 33, the central axis of the alignment post 44, the central axis of the alignment groove 33, the central axis of the positioning seat 3, and the central axis of the tapered expansion post 4 are collinear.

[0050] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the positioning seat 3 includes a seat body 31 connected to the output end of the second linear actuator 62 and a positioning post 32 disposed on the seat body 31. The diameter of the positioning post 32 is less than or equal to the diameter of the second end 42 of the tapered expansion post 4, so that the pushing assembly 5 can easily push the expanded outer clamp onto the inner clamp fitted on the positioning post 32. It should be noted that the alignment groove 33 is recessed on the end face of the positioning post 32 opposite to the seat body 31.

[0051] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the support assembly 2 includes a first support base 21, a second support base 22, a third support base 23, a support beam 24 whose two ends respectively overlap the second support base 22 and the third support base 23, and a connecting seat 25 connecting the bottom of the tapered expansion column 4 to the support beam 24. The first support base 21, the second support base 22, and the third support base 23 are spaced apart on the operating table 1. The first linear actuator 61 is mounted on the first support base 21, and the second linear actuator 62 is mounted on the operating table 1. It should be noted that the first linear actuator 61 and / or the second linear actuator 62 can be, but is not limited to, cylinders. For example, the first linear actuator 61 and / or the second linear actuator 62 can also be linear drive mechanisms such as hydraulic cylinders, electric cylinders, and electric push rods.

[0052] Please refer to the following: Figure 5In some embodiments, in order to ensure the accuracy of the second linear actuator 62 driving the inner clamp on the positioning seat 3 to move axially along the tapered expansion column 4, and to prevent the positioning seat 3 from shifting position during the movement, causing a positional deviation between the inner clamp and the outer clamp fitted on the tapered expansion column 4, the second linear actuator 62 includes a guide rod cylinder 621 disposed on the operating table 1 and a platform 622 connected to the guide rod of the guide rod cylinder 621, and the positioning seat 3 is fixedly disposed on the platform 622.
