Description

Technical Field

[0002] In automotive oil and gas lines, check valves play a crucial role, ensuring that fluids or gases flow in only one direction and effectively preventing backflow. These check valves are typically composed of two precisely assembled parts: an upper valve body and a lower valve body.

[0003] In traditional production processes, the handling of the upper valve body is relatively cumbersome and inefficient. Specifically, workers must first manually move the upper valve body to a designated area, then flip it over for subsequent assembly. After flipping, the upper valve body must be moved again to a predetermined position for assembly with the lower valve body. This series of manual operations is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also susceptible to human error, leading to low production efficiency and certain quality risks. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] One embodiment of this application provides a feeding mechanism for an upper valve body, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0030] Feeding unit 1 is used for feeding the upper valve body;

[0031] The bearing unit 2 bears the upper valve body coming from the feeding unit 1;

[0032] The flipping unit 3 clamps the upper valve body on the bearing unit 2 and then flips it at a preset angle;

[0033] Clamping unit 4 clamps the flipped upper valve body and moves it to a preset position.

[0034] The above design enables automatic feeding and loading of the upper valve body, achieving a high degree of automation and improving production efficiency.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding unit 1 includes a conveying pipe 11 for feeding the upper valve body. The upper valve body is conveyed from the conveying pipe 11. During the conveying process, air blowing is used to push the upper valve body. The air blowing process is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] A baffle assembly 12 is connected to the discharge end of the conveying pipe 11. The baffle assembly 12 intermittently blocks the material in the conveying pipe 11 to prevent the material conveyed from the conveying pipe 11 from falling directly onto the bearing unit 2 and affecting the quality of the material. The baffle assembly 12 includes a baffle cylinder 121 located on the side of the discharge end of the conveying pipe 11. The movable end of the baffle cylinder 121 is connected to a baffle rod 122, which is made of rubber. The baffle rod 122 is movably located at the discharge port of the conveying pipe 11 to buffer and block the material. When the movable end of the baffle cylinder 121 extends, it drives the baffle rod 122 to block the discharge port of the conveying pipe 11. When the material reaches the preset position, the movable end of the baffle cylinder 121 retracts, the baffle rod 122 leaves the discharge port of the conveying pipe 11, and the material falls to the preset position.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the supporting unit 2 is located below the feeding unit 1; the supporting unit 2 includes a supporting base 21, and at least one supporting fixture 22 adapted to the upper valve body is connected to the supporting base 21. As an example, there are two supporting fixtures 22, which are arranged at intervals; the supporting fixture 22 is located directly below the outlet of the conveying pipe 11, and the material coming out of the outlet of the conveying pipe 11 falls onto the supporting fixture 22; the supporting fixture 22 includes a fixture base 221, on which a connecting cylinder 222 adapted to the upper valve body is formed, and a mating groove 223 corresponding to the upper valve body is formed on the connecting cylinder 222; the upper valve body conveyed from the outlet of the conveying pipe 11 falls onto the supporting fixture 22.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to enable the bearing unit 2 to perform the next process while unloading materials, a rotary cylinder 23 is also included. The tooling base 221 of the bearing fixture 22 is connected to the movable end of the rotary cylinder 23. When the rotary cylinder 23 rotates, it drives the bearing fixture 22 on the tooling base 221 to rotate to a preset angle, which facilitates the operation of the next process. As an example, in this embodiment, the rotary cylinder 23 rotates the tooling base 221 horizontally by 180 degrees, so that the two bearing fixtures 22 can switch to work, thereby improving efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the flipping unit 3 includes a flipping cylinder 31 located on the side of the bearing unit 2. The movable end of the flipping cylinder 31 is connected to a first double-headed clamping cylinder 32. The movable end of the first double-headed clamping cylinder 32 is connected to a first clamping claw 33 for clamping the outer wall of the upper valve body. After the first clamping claw 33 clamps the upper valve body on the bearing fixture 22 with the cooperation of the first double-headed clamping cylinder 32, the flipping cylinder 31 works to drive the upper valve body to flip 180 degrees, so that the upper valve body is at a preset installation angle, which facilitates the next process operation of the upper valve body.

[0040] Furthermore, to make the tilting cylinder 31 move more flexibly, a first lifting cylinder 34 is also included. The fixed end of the tilting cylinder 31 is connected to the movable end of the first lifting cylinder 34. A first lifting base 35 is connected to the movable end of the first lifting cylinder 34. The tilting cylinder 31 is connected to the first lifting base 35. A first sliding groove is provided on the first lifting base 35. The first sliding groove is adapted to the first guide rail provided on the first lifting cylinder 34, so that the first lifting base 35 moves more smoothly.

[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a first transverse cylinder 36, the movable end of which moves in the X direction; the fixed end of the first lifting cylinder 34 is connected to the movable end of the first transverse cylinder 36. When the first transverse cylinder 36 operates, it drives the first lifting cylinder 34 to move laterally to a preset position. When the first lifting cylinder 34 operates, it drives the tilting cylinder 31 to rise or fall to a preset height. The first double-headed clamping cylinder 32 operates, clamping the upper valve body through the first gripper 33. Then the tilting cylinder 31 operates, causing the upper valve body to tilt at a preset angle. After the upper valve body is clamped by the clamping unit 4, the tilting unit 3 returns to the initial position to work on the next material.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping unit 4 is located on the side of the flipping unit 3; the clamping unit 4 includes a clamping base 41, on which a second transverse cylinder 42 is connected, the movable end of the second transverse cylinder 42 moves in the Y direction; a connecting seat 43 is connected to the movable end of the second transverse cylinder 42, a second guide rail 44 is provided on the clamping base 41, a second slider is slidably connected on the second guide rail 44, and the connecting seat 43 is connected to the second slider, so that the connecting seat 43 moves more smoothly during the movement;

[0043] A second lifting cylinder 45 is connected to the connecting seat 43. The fixed end of the second lifting cylinder 45 is connected to the connecting seat 43. The movable end of the second lifting cylinder 45 is connected to a second double-headed clamping cylinder 46 through a second lifting base 48. The movable end of the second double-headed clamping cylinder 46 is connected to a second jaw 47 for clamping the inner cavity of the upper valve body.

[0044] During operation, the second transverse cylinder 42 operates, driving the second lifting cylinder 45 to move laterally to a preset position. The second lifting cylinder 45 operates, driving the second double-headed clamping cylinder 46 to rise or fall to a preset height. The second double-headed clamping cylinder 46 operates, clamping the inner wall of the upper valve body after it has been flipped into position through the second gripper 47. Then, the second transverse cylinder 42 retracts, the second lifting cylinder 45 retracts, and the second double-headed clamping cylinder 46 releases the second gripper 47, allowing the upper valve body to reach the preset position.

[0045] In summary, the feeding mechanism of the upper valve body in this embodiment realizes automatic feeding and loading of the upper valve body, with a high degree of automation and improved production efficiency; it has a simple structure and low cost, and can be applied to various materials with similar light weight, small size and regular shape to perform long-distance pneumatic blowing across equipment, material flipping, transfer and assembly.
