Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of processing equipment, and specifically relates to a crimping device for end caps of cane brackets. Background Technology

[0002] There is a type of cane stand, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cane stand includes a central shaft and a leg structure welded to the lower outer wall of the central shaft. To reduce the weight of the cane stand while ensuring its strength, the central shaft is usually made of a hollow metal tube. The hollow metal tube has relatively sharp edges at the ends, therefore, end caps are usually provided for closure, and also serve as adapters for connecting external structures (such as handles). The existing installation method involves installing one end cap first, then the other end cap, which results in low processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a crimping device for end caps on cane stands, which solves the problem of low processing efficiency in the existing installation of end caps on cane stands. A novel crimping device for end caps on cane stands is designed, which can simultaneously install the first end cap and the second end cap of the cane stand, thereby improving processing efficiency and reducing equipment costs.

[0004] This utility model provides a crimping device for end caps on a cane stand, used to crimp a first end cap and a second end cap to the coaxial ends of a cane stand. It includes a first positioning block, a second positioning block, a third positioning block, a fourth positioning block, a photoelectric sensor, a vacuum suction head, a vacuum tube, a cylinder, a push rod, and a clamping head. The first, second, third, and fourth positioning blocks are spaced apart along the same straight line. The top of the second positioning block has a first arc-shaped groove, and the top of the third positioning block has a second arc-shaped groove. The vacuum suction head is located at the first positioning block... On the positioning block, the cylinder is located on the fourth positioning block, one end of the push rod facing the third positioning block is connected to the clamping head, the clamping head is used to clamp the second end cap, the other end of the push rod is connected to the cylinder, the vacuum suction head, the first arc groove, the second arc groove and the clamping head are located on the same axis, the vacuum suction head is connected to the vacuum tube, one end of the vacuum suction head facing the first arc groove is provided with a positioning groove adapted to the first end cap, the photoelectric sensor is located on the first positioning block and the photoelectric sensor faces the positioning groove.

[0005] Furthermore, it also includes a base plate, on which the first positioning block, the second positioning block, the third positioning block, and the fourth positioning block are located.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a compressed air pipe, a solenoid valve, a manual valve, and a vacuum generator. The compressed air pipe is connected to the vacuum generator through the solenoid valve, the vacuum generator is connected to the vacuum pipe, and the compressed air pipe is connected to the cylinder through the manual valve.

[0007] Furthermore, the first end cap is a three-layer flat cap, and the second end cap is a cross-shaped plug.

[0008] When installing the first and second end caps of the cane stand, this cane stand end cap crimping device positions the intermediate shaft of the cane stand using the first and second arc-shaped grooves. This positions the two ends of the intermediate shaft towards the vacuum suction head and the clamping head, respectively. The first end cap is placed in the positioning groove. After the photoelectric sensor detects the first end cap, the vacuum tube is activated to suction it. The second end cap is then installed on the clamping head. The cylinder is activated, driving the push rod towards the first end cap, thus simultaneously crimping the first and second end caps to both ends of the intermediate shaft of the cane stand. This synchronous installation of the first and second end caps effectively improves installation efficiency and reduces equipment costs. Attached Figure Description
