Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of hydraulic pipe assembly testing technology, specifically, it relates to a production line. Background Technology

[0002] Hydraulic hose assemblies are crucial components in engineering machinery used to transmit hydraulic power. A typical hydraulic hose assembly includes a connector, a retainer, and a sleeve. The retainer has a notch for installation, allowing it to engage with a groove on the periphery of the connector. The connector's core rod passes downwards through the sleeve, and the retainer and the top surface of the sleeve abut against each other to limit the movement between the connector and the sleeve. If the retainer is missing, it cannot be installed after the sleeve has undergone subsequent crimping, rendering the product unusable. Therefore, the retainer must be inspected before assembling the hydraulic hose assembly.

[0003] However, current processes typically involve operators visually inspecting for missing baffles before placing the product into a crimping machine for crimping. This manual inspection method not only limits production efficiency but also makes it difficult to avoid false positives and false negatives. Utility Model Content

[0036] The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and explanatory and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0037] The production line according to the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The present application discloses a new type of production line, and the production line in a specific embodiment comprises:

[0039] An assembling station for assembling the split joint 120 with the pipe sleeve to combine into the hydraulic pipe assembly 100;

[0040] A detection station, and the detection station is provided with a detection mechanism for detecting the check piece 110 on the production hydraulic pipe assembly 100;

[0041] A conveying mechanism for conveying the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 on the assembling station to the detection station.

[0042] The assembling station of the split joint 120 with the pipe sleeve in the production line is completed by manual or mechanical assembling, and then the conveying mechanism such as a conveyor belt or a track can be used to convey the split joint 120 with the pipe sleeve to the detection station, and the detection mechanism in the detection station can be used to detect whether the check piece 110 is missing or correctly installed. Compared with the manual visual detection method used in the existing production line, the detection mechanism not only has higher accuracy and can effectively avoid false detection and missed detection, but also requires less detection time and can be adapted to a high-speed automatic production line. Therefore, the production line of the present application can improve the detection efficiency of the check piece 110 and reduce the demand for manual labor of the production line. The detection mechanism can detect the check piece 110 in various ways. For example, the detection mechanism can use contact conductivity detection to detect the difference in electrical conductivity between the check piece 110 and the joint 120, or non-contact photoelectric detection to detect the difference in reflectivity of the detection light between the check piece 110 and the joint 120.

[0043] The detection mechanism can more conveniently receive the incoming materials from the upstream of the production line and realize the rejection of the materials according to the detection results or the transmission of the materials to the downstream of the production line. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the detection mechanism is provided with a rejection mechanism 200 and a transmission mechanism 300. Figure 1As shown, the detection mechanism can include a clamping assembly 210 for clamping the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 on the detection station, a moving driving assembly 220 for driving the clamping assembly 210 to reciprocate between the detection station and a preset designated position, and a detection assembly 230 with a detection end aligned with the preset designated position. The preset designated position aligned with the detection end allows the detection mechanism to quickly move the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 to the detection station after receiving the incoming material from upstream, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0044] In addition to improving the detection efficiency of the detection mechanism, the accuracy of the detection of the detection mechanism also needs to be considered. In order to facilitate the installation of the baffle 110, the baffle 110 is formed with a notch, and the baffle 110 is clamped on the circumferential groove of the connector 120 through the notch. If the detection range of the detection mechanism is small and the detection is just to the notch area of the baffle 110, it may cause false detection. In the present embodiment, the detection assembly 230 includes a first detection head 231 and a second detection head 232, and the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are arranged on opposite sides of the preset designated position. In this way, the detection assembly 230 can ensure that at least one detection head will not be disturbed by the notch on the baffle 110 through the arrangement of the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection of the detection assembly 230.

[0045] In order to improve the adaptability of the detection assembly 230 to different specifications of the connector 120. In the present embodiment, the detection assembly 230 further includes a multi-axis adjustment seat 233, and the first detection head 231 and / or the second detection head 232 are installed on the multi-axis adjustment seat 233 and can be multi-axis adjusted. Specifically, the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are installed through different multi-axis adjustment seats 233 respectively, and the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 can be flexibly arranged so that the detection end is tightly arranged on the connector 120. Of course, the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are not limited to being installed through different multi-axis adjustment seats 233 respectively, and one of the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 can be installed through the multi-axis adjustment seat 233.

[0046] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the detection assembly 230 includes a first detection head 231 and a second detection head 232, and the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are arranged on opposite sides of the preset designated position. In this way, the detection assembly 230 can ensure that at least one detection head will not be disturbed by the notch on the baffle 110 through the arrangement of the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection of the detection assembly 230. Figure 1As shown, the multi-axis adjusting seat 233 comprises a first mounting rod 233a, a second mounting rod 233b, a third mounting rod 233c, and a fourth mounting rod 233d. The second mounting rod 233b is mounted on the first mounting rod 233a through a first locking slider 233e, the third mounting rod 233c is mounted on the second mounting rod 233b through a second locking slider 233f, the fourth mounting rod 233d is mounted on the third mounting rod 233c through a third locking slider 233g, and the first detection head 231 or the second detection head 232 is pivotably mounted on the fourth mounting rod 233d. In this way, the first locking slider 233e allows the second mounting rod 233b to slide and pivot along the length direction of the first mounting rod 233a, the second locking slider 233f allows the third mounting rod 233c to slide and pivot along the length direction of the second mounting rod 233b, and the third locking slider 233g allows the fourth mounting rod 233d to slide and pivot along the length direction of the third mounting rod 233c, so that the first detection head 231 or the second detection head 232 can be conveniently and flexibly arranged close to the joint 120. The pivotable arrangement of the first detection head 231 or the second detection head 232 further improves the flexibility of the arrangement of the first detection head 231 or the second detection head 232. Of course, the structure of the multi-axis adjusting seat 233 is not limited to the above form, and can also be a universal bamboo joint pipe, etc.

[0047] The first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 can detect the blocking sheet 110 in various ways. In the present embodiment, the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 can both be photoelectric sensors.

[0048] Specifically, the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are both reflective infrared photoelectric sensors, which comprise a solid-state light-emitting diode for emitting infrared light and a solid-state photosensitive diode (or photosensitive triode) for receiving. Since the reflectivity of the blocking sheet 110 and the joint 120 to infrared light is different, whether the blocking sheet 110 is correctly installed can be determined after the receiver receives the reflected infrared light. Of course, the detection method of the first detection head and the second detection head is not limited to the above method, and can also be a visual camera, etc.

[0049] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are arranged on the same side of the joint 120, and the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are arranged on the opposite side of the joint 120. Figures 1 to 4As shown, the clamping assembly 210 comprises a first clamping block 211, a second clamping block 212, a sliding guide 213 and a clamping driving member 214, the first clamping block 211 and the second clamping block 212 are respectively in sliding cooperation with the sliding guide 213, and the clamping driving member 214 is used to drive the first clamping block 211 and the second clamping block 212 to move close to or away from each other. In this way, the clamping assembly 210 can realize the fixation of the joint 120, which not only facilitates detection and movement, but also has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0050] In the present embodiment, as shown, Figures 1 to 4 The movement driving assembly 220 comprises a guide driving seat 221 and a telescopic driving rod 222, the telescopic driving rod 222 is slidably arranged in the guide driving seat 221 and can move between the detection station and the preset designated position. Specifically, the telescopic driving rod 222 is connected with the clamping driving member 214. In this way, the telescopic driving rod 222 can drive the clamping assembly 210 to reciprocate between the detection station and the preset designated position under the driving of the guide driving seat 221, thereby realizing the "material receiving-detection" process.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the movement driving assembly 220 is one of an oil cylinder, a gas cylinder and an electric cylinder. Specifically, since the driving force requirement of the deflection of the movable support is not large, the movement driving assembly 220 in the present embodiment adopts a gas cylinder, but those skilled in the art can understand that the movement driving assembly 220 can also be an electric cylinder, an oil cylinder or other driving assemblies, or even a gear and rack mechanism, and these structural forms should also belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] In the present embodiment, a posture correction mechanism is arranged between the assembly station and the detection station or on the detection station, and the posture correction mechanism is used to correct the posture of the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 from the assembly station.

[0053] Specifically, the posture correction mechanism can make the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 enter the preset designated position in a unified posture as needed. The posture correction mechanism is a vibrating disc, which can automatically and orderly arrange the disordered hydraulic pipe assembly 100 through vibration and accurately convey it to the production line, thereby facilitating the detection mechanism to receive the material. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the posture correction mechanism is not limited to the vibrating disc, but can also be a righting piece or a placing manipulator.

[0054] In summary, the production line of the present application greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the detection of the baffle 110 after the introduction of the detection mechanism, thereby effectively avoiding false detection and missed detection and being suitable for rapid production. Since the baffle 110 has a notch formed thereon, in order to prevent the notch from causing false detection, the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 are arranged on the opposite sides of the preset designated position respectively to ensure that at least one detection head is not disturbed by the notch on the baffle 110, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection of the detection assembly 230. In order to facilitate the fixation and transfer of the hydraulic pipe assembly 100, the detection mechanism is further provided with the clamping assembly 210 and the movement driving assembly 220 outside the detection assembly 230, thereby facilitating the rapid reciprocating movement of the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 between the detection station and the preset designated position, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0055] The specific operation process of the production line can be as follows: after the split joint 120 and the pipe sleeve are assembled at the upstream assembly station, they are transported to the preset designated position through the vibration disc and the material conveying track, and are clamped and gripped by the first clamping block 211 and the second clamping block 212 at the preset designated position by the clamping assembly 210, and then the guide driving seat 221 drives the telescopic driving rod 222 to extend, so that the clamping assembly 210 extends to the detection end. The first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 simultaneously detect the reflectivity of the hydraulic pipe assembly 100. After the reflectivity result is obtained in the background of the production line, it can be compared with the preset range, wherein if the reflectivity result of any one of the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 meets the preset range, it is determined that the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 has the baffle 110, and then the hydraulic pipe assembly 100 is delivered to the downstream of the production line. When the reflectivity results of the first detection head 231 and the second detection head 232 do not meet the preset range, the first clamping block 211 and the second clamping block 212 of the clamping assembly 210 are driven to move away from each other by the clamping driving member 214, and the material is thrown.
