Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of faucet shaping pipe production equipment, in particular to a shaping pipe inner pipe distance cutting device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The faucet shaping pipe is a component of the faucet, which is also called a faucet universal pipe. It is mainly used to guide the direction of water flow and can maintain a certain shape, so that the water flow can accurately reach the position desired by the user. For example, in the kitchen sink faucet, the shaping pipe can guide the water to different areas of the sink, facilitating the cleaning of tableware, vegetables, etc.; in the shower faucet, the shaping pipe can fix the shower head at a certain position and angle, providing a comfortable shower experience for the user.

[0003] The structure of the faucet shaping pipe mainly includes an outer pipe, an inner pipe, two steel sleeves, two plug cores, a shower head, and a faucet connector (refer to Figure 5 ). For ease of understanding, the two steel sleeves and the two plug cores are respectively designated as steel sleeve one, steel sleeve two, and plug core one and plug core two. The assembly process of the faucet shaping pipe is as follows: the inner pipe is inserted through the outer pipe; the two steel sleeves with external threads are respectively installed at both ends of the outer pipe; plug core one is inserted into the inner pipe, and the shower head is installed on steel sleeve one at the end of plug core one; the inner pipe is pulled tight from the end of steel sleeve two and cut after being stretched to a certain length, keeping the inner pipe in a stretched state, and then plug core two is inserted into the inner pipe at this end; the inner pipe is loosened, and the length of the inner pipe is restored under the elastic action of the inner pipe itself, so that plug core two tightly abuts against steel sleeve two; the faucet connector is installed on steel sleeve two.

[0004] At present, the assembly process of the faucet shaping pipe on the market is generally all manual operation. Since manual cutting is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the positioning and cutting of the inner pipe are of different lengths, product defects and risks are increased, and even the size of the inner pipe after cutting is too short, causing the inner pipe to be pulled out of the plug core after elastic recovery, resulting in water leakage. In addition, long-time stretching action will make the employees tired, which is not conducive to humanized management and reduces the overall production efficiency. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 Figure 4 A shaping pipe inner pipe distance cutting device provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a base 100; a shell 110 is fixedly connected on the base 100, and a controller 200 is installed on the front side of the shell 110; a placing table 300 is fixedly connected on the top of the shell 110, and the placing table 300 is used for placing a faucet shaping pipe 900; a baffle 320 is fixedly connected on one side of the placing table 300, and a constraint groove 321 is formed on the baffle 320, and the size of the constraint groove 321 is smaller than the size of a steel sleeve 930 but not smaller than the size of an inner pipe 920; a first clamping device 410 and a second clamping device 420 for clamping the inner pipe 920 are installed on the base 100, the first clamping device 410 and the second clamping device 420 are located on the same side of the baffle 320, and the second clamping device 420 is next to the baffle 320; a stretching mechanism 500 is also installed on the base 100, the first clamping device 410 is installed on the stretching mechanism 500, and the first clamping device 410 can be controlled to approach or move away from the baffle 320 by using the stretching mechanism 500; a positioning block 600 is fixed on the shell 110, and the positioning block 600 is located on the side of the second clamping device 420 away from the baffle 320, and the position of the positioning block 600 is the cutting position of the inner pipe 920.

[0045] ​Specifically, the stretching mechanism 500 comprises a support frame 510 fixed to the base 100, a first air cylinder 520 mounted on the support frame 510, a first guide rail 530 fixed to the first support frame 510, and a first sliding table 540 slidably connected to the first guide rail 530. An output end of the first sliding table 540 is fixed to the first sliding table 540. The first sliding table 540 can be controlled to move along the first guide rail 530 by the extension and retraction of the first air cylinder 520, so as to control the first clamping device 410 on the first sliding table 540 to move away from or close to the second clamping device 420. In addition, two first guide rails 530 are adopted to support and assist the sliding of the first sliding table 540.

[0046] Specifically, the first clamping device 410 and the second clamping device 420 both adopt pneumatic clamping jaws.

[0047] It should be noted that the controller 200 can control the running states of the first clamping device 410, the second clamping device 420 and the first air cylinder 520. The position of the positioning block 600 needs to be adjusted in advance, so that the worker can cut the inner tube 920 at the positioning block 600, and after the plug core 940 is installed at the cut end, the inner tube 920 can abut against the steel sleeve 930 after retraction.

[0048] The following will be further introduced in combination with a specific use scene. First, the first sliding table 540 is pulled by the first air cylinder 520, so that the first clamping device 410 moves to one end closest to the baffle 320. Then, the faucet forming pipe 900 is placed on the placing table 300, and the end of the faucet forming pipe 900 without the plug core 940 is abutted against the baffle 320. The inner tube 920 is passed through the restraint groove 321 of the baffle 320. Then, the inner tube 920 is clamped by the first clamping device 410, and the first clamping device 410 is pushed away from the baffle 320 by the first air cylinder 520. Since the steel sleeve 930 of the forming pipe abuts against the baffle 320, and the side of the faucet forming pipe 900 with the spray head 950 is limited by the valve core, the relative movement between the inner tube 920 and the outer tube 910 is prevented, and the inner tube 920 is continuously stretched by pulling from the side of the baffle 320. When the inner tube 920 is stretched to a proper length, the first air cylinder 520 is controlled to stop extending in time by the controller 200. Then, the inner tube 920 is clamped by the second clamping device 420 (the second clamping device 420 mainly clamps the inner tube 920 to prevent the inner tube 920 from retracting immediately after being cut), and then the worker can cut the inner tube 920 at the positioning block 600 with scissors. Then, the plug core 940 is installed on the inner tube 920, and then the second clamping device 420 is released from the inner tube 920. The inner tube 920 is elastically restored, so that the plug core 940 abuts against the steel sleeve 930. Then, the faucet connector 960 can be installed on the steel sleeve 930 at this end.

[0049] The faucet forming pipe 900 is placed on the placement table 300, one end of the faucet forming pipe 900 is blocked by the baffle 320 provided with the constraint groove 321, the first clamping device 410 clamps the inner pipe 920 from one side of the baffle 320, the first clamping device 410 is driven by the stretching assembly to move away from the baffle 320, so that the inner pipe 920 is stretched, until the inner pipe 920 is stretched to the rated length, then the second clamping device 420 clamps the inner pipe 920 from the baffle 320, so that the worker cuts the inner pipe 920 from the positioning block 600, and the inner pipe 920 between the baffle 320 and the spray head 950 cannot be retracted, so that the plug core 940 is conveniently inserted into one end of the inner pipe 920 close to the baffle 320, then the second clamping device 420 is loosened, and the length of the inner pipe 920 is restored under the elastic action of the inner pipe 920, so that the plug core 940 abuts against the side surface of the steel sleeve 930, finally the faucet connector 960 can be installed, and the overall assembly of the faucet forming pipe 900 is completed. The inner pipe 920 does not need to be manually stretched, and the inner pipe 920 does not need to be manually maintained after being cut, which facilitates subsequent installation of the plug core 940 and reduces the labor intensity of workers; in addition, the total length of the restored inner pipe 920 after cutting can be just suitable for the outer pipe 910, avoiding the problems that the inner pipe 920 is too long compared with the outer pipe 910, which causes improper assembly or the inner pipe 920 is pulled off from the plug core 940 due to being too short, and improving the qualified rate of products and the overall assembly efficiency of the forming pipe.

[0050] It should be noted that the inner pipe 920 can be accurately cut by manually holding a pair of scissors at the positioning block 600, or an automatic cutting mechanism can be arranged at the position of the positioning block 600 to further reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0051] Referring to the drawings, as a specific embodiment of the present application, a first reset mechanism 700 is further included, the first reset mechanism 700 includes a second cylinder 710 mounted on one side of the first sliding table 540, a second guide rail 720 is further fixedly connected to the first sliding table 540, a second sliding table 730 is slidingly connected to the second guide rail 720, the second sliding table 730 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 710, and two second guide rails 720 are adopted to support and assist the sliding of the second sliding table 730, and the first clamping device 410 is mounted on the second sliding table 730.

[0052] In combination with a specific use scenario, the second slide table 730 is controlled by the second cylinder 710 to move close to or away from the inner pipe 920, thereby driving the first clamp 410 to move close to or away from the inner pipe 920. In this way, when the faucet forming pipe 900 is placed, the first clamp 410 is moved away from the inner pipe 920, thereby avoiding interference with the clamping of the inner pipe 920 and avoiding the worker from touching the first clamp 410. After the faucet forming pipe 900 is placed and the inner pipe 920 is straightened, the second slide table 730 is pushed by the second cylinder 710 to move close to the inner pipe 920, thereby causing the first clamp 410 to move close to the inner pipe 920 and clamp the inner pipe 920 at the baffle 320. After the first clamp 410 is driven by the stretching mechanism 500 to move away from the baffle 320 and the inner pipe 920 is cut, the second slide table 730 and the first clamp 410 on the second slide table 730 are timely pulled away from the inner pipe 920 by the second cylinder 710, thereby facilitating the worker to install the plug core 940 without being affected by the first clamp 410. Overall, the stability of the installation is improved and the safety protection of the worker is improved.

[0053] Referring to the drawings, as a specific embodiment of the present application, a second reset mechanism 800 is further included, which comprises a third cylinder 810 mounted on the base 100 and a support plate 820 fixed to the output end of the third cylinder 810, and the second clamp 420 is specifically mounted on the support plate 820.

[0054] In combination with a specific use scenario, when the faucet forming pipe 900 is placed in front of the placement table 300, the second clamp 420 is driven by the third cylinder 810 to move downward together with the support plate 820, thereby causing the second clamp 420 to move away from the baffle 320 and avoiding interference with the clamping of the inner pipe 920, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the cutting process of the inner pipe 920 to a certain extent.

[0055] Referring to the drawings, as a specific embodiment of the present application, an arc-shaped placement groove 310 is formed on the placement table 300, and the faucet forming pipe 900 is placed in the placement groove 310 when the inner pipe 920 is cut. In this way, the faucet forming pipe 900 can be constrained to a certain extent, and the placement position of the faucet forming pipe 900 can be single to facilitate the worker to place the faucet forming pipe 900 regularly. In this way, the initial placement efficiency of the faucet forming pipe 900 is improved to a certain extent, thereby improving the cutting efficiency of the inner pipe 920 to a certain extent, and further improving the overall assembly efficiency of the faucet forming pipe 900.

[0056] Referring to Figure 3As a specific embodiment of the present application, a distance measuring sensor 511 for detecting the moving length of the first sliding table 540 is mounted on the support frame 510, and the distance measuring sensor 511 needs to be electrically connected with the controller 200.

[0057] In combination with a specific use scenario, after the first clamping device 410 clamps the inner tube 920, the stretching mechanism 500 is used to control the movement of the first clamping device 410 to stretch the inner tube 920, and when the first sliding table 540 moves to a suitable position (i.e., the inner tube 920 is stretched to the rated length), the distance measuring sensor 511 timely transmits a signal to the controller 200, and then the controller 200 immediately controls the first air cylinder 520 to stop running, so as to improve the accuracy and automation degree of the stretching of the inner tube 920, and further improve the cutting efficiency of the inner tube 920.

[0058] It should be understood that various forms of the flow shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the present application can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in different orders, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions of the present application can be achieved, and the present application does not limit this.
