Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of assembly tooling, and particularly relates to an assembly tooling for a metal braided hose coating layer. BACKGROUND

[0002] In some special fields, some special requirements of some countries require that a warning sign be provided on a metal hose, and therefore the metal hose usually needs to be provided with a coating layer, and the coating layer is usually a PVC pipe or a PE pipe. The production process of the coated stainless steel braided hose in the production and processing process currently has two kinds:

[0003] The first kind is to coat the coating layer on the braided metal hose by using an extruder, and then cut the coating layer into segments for welding, roll welding and pressure testing. However, this process has many production procedures, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, for example, the pipe body end surface is not flat when cutting into different lengths, and then the end surface needs to be trimmed; when the end surface is flat and the two ends are welded, the braided wire and the coating layer at the two ends need to be pulled out; and the roll welding and pressure testing operations are extremely inconvenient and inefficient.

[0004] The second kind is to weld the accessory joint at the two ends of the metal hose first, then braid, roll weld and pressure test, and then coat the coating layer on the pipe body which has been made into the appropriate length and size. The advantage of this process is that the welding of the accessory joint at the two ends, the braiding, the roll welding and the pressure testing are easy to process, and the difficulty is that the coating layer is not easy to coat. The previous method requires two or more people to complete: one person inflates the braided pipe from the end, and the other person holds the front end of the braided pipe and the coating layer (the other end of the coating layer is sealed first), the gas inflates the coating layer through the inner cavity of the braided pipe, the coating layer is expanded, and then the braided pipe is pushed into the coating layer little by little. Short products require two people to operate, but for products over 1.5 meters, additional personnel are required, resulting in low work efficiency and high production cost. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to conveniently assemble the coating layer of the metal hose.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0007] The tooling device for installing the coating layer of the metal braided hose comprises a pipe fitting fixed at one end, a quick connector assembly connected to the other end of the pipe fitting, a gas source connected to the pipe fitting, a gas channel arranged in the quick connector assembly, an inner pipe connecting portion and a braided layer connecting portion arranged on the quick connector assembly, and a coating layer pre-sleeved on the pipe fitting, and the sleeving of the coating layer is realized by moving the coating layer to the outside of the braided layer.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the pipe fitting connected to the quick connector assembly is provided with a connector sleeve, and a quick clamping mechanism is arranged between the connector sleeve and the quick connector assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the quick-connect mechanism includes a locking post radially arranged on the quick connector assembly, and an L-shaped latch on the interface sleeve. After the quick connector assembly is inserted into the interface sleeve, the locking post engages with the latch of the interface sleeve and is then rotated to engage.

[0010] Preferably, the quick connector assembly includes a connector, a locking sleeve, a support sleeve, and a plug. One end of the support sleeve has an axially oriented notch. The locking sleeve is movably fitted onto the outside of the support sleeve. The connector and the plug are respectively connected to the two ends of the support sleeve. The connector is connected to the interface sleeve. Both the connector and the support sleeve have axially penetrating through holes. The plug has a blind hole with one end open and the other closed. The inner tube of the metal braided hose is fitted onto the closed end of the plug. The side wall of the plug has a vent hole that communicates with the blind hole. A gap is provided between the plug and the support sleeve at the vent hole position to allow gas to pass through. The gas in the hose passes sequentially through the interface sleeve, the connector, the support sleeve, and the plug.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the support sleeve with the slit has a tapered part with a gradually increasing diameter. When the locking sleeve is in the position where it touches the tapered part of the support sleeve, the slit end of the support sleeve contracts and clamps the braided layer of the metal braided hose.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided between the connector and the interface sleeve, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer ring of the end of the plug core.

[0013] Preferably, the support sleeve has internal threads at both ends, and the corresponding connector and plug are connected to the support sleeve at one end with external threads.

[0014] Preferably, the connector has an annular protrusion on its exterior to prevent the locking sleeve from slipping out.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model uses a pipe fixed at one end and an external air source to inflate its interior. The cover layer is then placed on the pipe, and the inner tube of the metal braided hose is placed on the plug core. This allows one person to complete the operation of fitting the cover layer, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the product. Attached Figure Description
