Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of end cap installation technology, specifically end cap assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the field of special vehicles, the installation of the outer end cap of the cylinder is mostly carried out in two ways. The first method is to directly weld the lifting ring to the edge of the end cap, lift it with a lifting tool, and then transport it to the part of the cylinder where the end cap is welded for assembly and welding. After the welding is completed, the lifting ring is cut off and the welded part of the lifting ring is ground to restore the original appearance. The second method is to stand the cylinder section upright, invert the end cap and weld the lifting ring at the center position, lift it to the position of the cylinder section by a crane for welding, and after the welding is completed, the welded part of the lifting ring is ground to restore the original appearance.

[0003] However, although the two current methods for installing external end caps on the cylinder are relatively reliable, the installation process is labor-intensive, and the stability of the hoisting is relatively low due to the influence of crane operation. Furthermore, the installation accuracy of the external end caps on the cylinder cannot be guaranteed, thus posing installation difficulties in actual production. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the installation accuracy of the external head assembly for cylinders cannot be guaranteed, thus posing a problem of installation difficulty in actual production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a head assembly device, including a main frame, with horizontal moving wheels installed at the four corners of the bottom of the main frame, a reduction motor for driving the horizontal moving wheels to rotate at the bottom inner side of the main frame, two sets of top hydraulic cylinders symmetrically hinged to the top two sides of the main frame, and two sets of bottom hydraulic cylinders symmetrically hinged to the bottom inner side of the main frame, the telescopic ends of the top and bottom hydraulic cylinders are hinged to the edge of the drive plate frame through hinge seats, a connecting rotating frame is hinged at the middle of the two sides of the main frame between the top and bottom hydraulic cylinders, and the end of the connecting rotating frame is also hinged to the drive plate frame through a hinge seat, and a head fixing plate is connected to one side of the drive plate frame;

[0006] The end cap fixing plate has several sets of sliding guide grooves at equal angles inside, and the edge of the end cap fixing plate is connected to a limit guide rail on one side of the sliding guide groove. A sliding seat is slidably connected to the limit guide rail, and an auxiliary fixing arm is detachably connected to one side of the sliding seat. An anti-slip strip is provided at the end of the auxiliary fixing arm, and a connecting rod is connected through the inner side of the end of the auxiliary fixing arm. Anti-slip frames are rotatably connected to both sides of the end of the auxiliary fixing arm, and one end of the anti-slip frame is connected to the edge of the auxiliary fixing arm by a tension spring.

[0007] Clamping hydraulic cylinders are fixedly connected to the back of the head fixing plate at multiple sliding guide grooves. The telescopic end of the clamping hydraulic cylinder is telescopically connected to a driving rod. The end of the driving rod is rotatably connected to the sliding seat through a connecting rotating seat. A pressing hydraulic cylinder is installed on the inner side of the head fixing plate at a position between multiple sets of clamping hydraulic cylinders, and the end of the pressing hydraulic cylinder is provided with a head pressing plate.

[0008] Preferably, the geared motor drives the main frame to move horizontally, and the extension and retraction of the top hydraulic cylinder, bottom hydraulic cylinder and connecting rotating frame drive the plate frame and end cap fixing plate to perform vertical lifting and pitching movements.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-slip bracket rotates along the side of the auxiliary fixing arm, and the anti-slip bracket drives the tension spring to stretch.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting rotary seat is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding seat, and the connecting rotary seat slides along the inner side of the sliding guide groove for limiting.

[0011] Preferably, the sliding seat and the limiting guide rail are connected by a limiting slider, and a connecting plate is detachably connected to the end of the sliding seat. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary fixing arm, and the connecting plate is detachably connected to the edge of the sliding seat by a fixing bolt.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting slider and the limiting guide rail are connected in a limiting sliding connection, and the auxiliary fixing arm is driven to slide through the limiting slider and the limiting guide rail.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the structure of this utility model is scientific and reasonable, and it is safe and convenient to use.

[0014] 1. The main frame can be easily moved horizontally by the geared motor and horizontal moving wheels, which facilitates the movement of the installed end caps. The top hydraulic cylinder, bottom hydraulic cylinder and connecting rotating frame can easily drive the plate frame and end cap fixing plate to perform vertical lifting and pitching movements. This allows the end caps to be moved and adjusted to the appropriate installation position by the end cap fixing plate, which facilitates the subsequent pressing and installation of the end caps and improves the efficiency of the subsequent docking and installation between the end caps and the cylinder.

[0015] The clamping hydraulic cylinder, driving rod, and connecting rotary seat facilitate the movement of the auxiliary fixing arms. The movement of multiple sets of auxiliary fixing arms allows for quick clamping and limiting of the end cap inside the end cap fixing plate, ensuring the stability of the end cap during installation. Combined with the clamping hydraulic cylinder and end cap clamping plate inside the end cap fixing plate, the end cap can be easily moved, enabling rapid clamping and docking between the end cap and the cylinder. This facilitates more accurate and tight docking installation of the end cap, offering advantages such as greater stability and convenience, less damage to the end cap, and reduced personnel input.

[0016] 2. By installing anti-slip strips, connecting rods, anti-slip brackets, and tension springs at the ends of the auxiliary fixing arm, the anti-slip brackets replace the auxiliary fixing arm in contacting the side wall of the end cap when the auxiliary fixing arm clamps the end cap. The tension springs ensure that the anti-slip brackets adhere tightly to the edge of the end cap under elastic force. This effectively prevents slippage at the contact point when the auxiliary fixing arm clamps and limits the end cap, further preventing the end cap from falling off during clamping and fixing. It also ensures that there is no relative slippage between the end cap and the cylinder when they are joined, achieving a tight connection between the cylinder and the end cap.

[0017] 3. Through the sliding guide groove, the limiting guide rail, and the sliding seat, when the clamping hydraulic cylinder and the driving rod move the auxiliary fixed arm, the limiting sliding between the connecting rotating seat and the sliding guide groove can initially limit the sliding position of the auxiliary fixed arm. At the same time, combined with the limiting slider, the sliding seat and the connecting plate can move stably along the limiting guide rail, thereby further guiding and limiting the movement position of the auxiliary fixed arm. This makes the clamping pressure of the auxiliary fixed arm more stable, improves the limiting clamping effect of the auxiliary fixed arm on the end cap, and ensures that the end cap does not shift position during the assembly process after clamping.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] Example: Figure 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a head assembly device, including a main frame 1. Horizontal moving wheels 2 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the main frame 1. A reduction motor 3, which drives the horizontal moving wheels 2, is installed on the inner bottom of the main frame 1. Two sets of top hydraulic cylinders 4 are symmetrically hinged to the top two sides of the main frame 1, and two sets of bottom hydraulic cylinders 5 are symmetrically hinged to the inner bottom of the main frame 1. The telescopic ends of the top hydraulic cylinders 4 and the bottom hydraulic cylinders 5 are hinged to the edges of the drive plate 7 via hinge seats. The middle of the two sides of the main frame 1 is located at the intersection of the top hydraulic cylinders 4 and the bottom hydraulic cylinders 5. A connecting rotating frame 6 is hinged between the bottom hydraulic cylinders 5, and the end of the connecting rotating frame 6 is also hinged to the drive plate frame 7 through a hinge seat. A head fixing plate 8 is connected to one side of the drive plate frame 7. The reduction motor 3 drives the main frame 1 to move horizontally. The extension and retraction of the top hydraulic cylinder 4, bottom hydraulic cylinder 5 and connecting rotating frame 6 drive the drive plate frame 7 and the head fixing plate 8 to perform vertical lifting and pitching movements, so that the head can be moved and adjusted to a suitable installation position through the head fixing plate 8, which facilitates the subsequent head pressing and installation.

[0031] The end cap fixing plate 8 has several sets of sliding guide grooves 9 formed at equal angles inside. A limit guide rail 10 is connected to one side of the sliding guide groove 9 at the edge of the end cap fixing plate 8. A sliding seat 11 is slidably connected to the limit guide rail 10. An auxiliary fixing arm 12 is detachably connected to one side of the sliding seat 11. An anti-slip strip 13 is provided at the end of the auxiliary fixing arm 12, and a connecting rod 14 is connected through the inner side of the end of the auxiliary fixing arm 12. Anti-slip brackets 15 are rotatably connected to both sides of the end of the auxiliary fixing arm 12, providing anti-slip protection. One end of the frame 15 is connected to the side of the auxiliary fixing arm 12 via a tension spring 16. The anti-slip frame 15 rotates along the side of the auxiliary fixing arm 12, and the anti-slip frame 15 drives the tension spring 16 to stretch, so that its side is in close contact with the outer wall of the end cap to achieve anti-slip. The anti-slip frame 15 replaces the auxiliary fixing arm 12 in contact with the side wall of the end cap. The tension spring 16 makes the anti-slip frame 15 stick tightly to the edge of the end cap under the action of elasticity, preventing the end cap from falling off when it is clamped and fixed.

[0032] Clamping hydraulic cylinders 22 are fixedly connected to the back of the head fixing plate 8 at multiple sliding guide grooves 9. The telescopic end of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 22 is telescopically connected to a driving rod 23. The end of the driving rod 23 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 11 through a connecting rotating seat 24. The connecting rotating seat 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding seat 11, and the connecting rotating seat 24 slides along the inner side of the sliding guide groove 9 to facilitate the connection of the connecting rotating seat 24. At the same time, the limiting sliding between the connecting rotating seat 24 and the sliding guide groove 9 can initially limit the sliding position of the auxiliary fixing arm 12. A pressing hydraulic cylinder 17 is installed on the inner side of the head fixing plate 8 at the position between multiple sets of clamping hydraulic cylinders 22, and a head pressing plate 18 is provided at the end of the pressing hydraulic cylinder 17.

[0033] The sliding seat 11 and the limiting guide rail 10 are connected by a limiting slider 19. The end of the sliding seat 11 is detachably connected to a connecting plate 20. The limiting slider 19 and the limiting guide rail 10 are connected by a limiting slider 19 and the limiting guide rail 10, and the auxiliary fixing arm 12 is driven to slide by the limiting slider 19 and the limiting guide rail 10 to clamp the end cap, thereby guiding and restricting the movement of the auxiliary fixing arm 12, making the clamping pressure of the auxiliary fixing arm 12 more stable and improving the limiting clamping effect of the auxiliary fixing arm 12 on the end cap. The connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary fixing arm 12, and the connecting plate 20 is detachably connected to the edge of the sliding seat 11 by a fixing bolt 21.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: In the actual installation and use of the end cap assembly equipment, the main frame 1 is first moved horizontally by the reduction motor 3 and the horizontal moving wheel 2, which facilitates the subsequent movement of the end caps to be installed. At the same time, the top hydraulic cylinder 4, the bottom hydraulic cylinder 5 and the connecting rotating frame 6 facilitate the vertical lifting and pitching of the drive plate frame 7 and the end cap fixing plate 8, so that the end cap fixing plate 8 can be moved and adjusted to a suitable installation position during the subsequent alignment and installation of the end caps, which facilitates the subsequent pressing and installation of the end caps and improves the efficiency of the subsequent docking and installation between the end caps and the cylinder.

[0035] After the main frame 1 is moved to the designated position, the end cap is hoisted to the inside of the end cap fixing plate 8 using hoisting machinery. Then, by using the limiting sliding between the connecting rotary seat 24 and the sliding guide groove 9, the sliding position of the auxiliary fixing arm 12 can be initially restricted when the clamping hydraulic cylinder 22 and the driving rod 23 drive the auxiliary fixing arm 12 to move. At the same time, combined with the limiting slider 19, the sliding seat 11 and the connecting plate 20 can slide stably along the limiting guide rail 10, thereby further guiding and restricting the movement position of the auxiliary fixing arm 12, making the clamping pressure of the auxiliary fixing arm 12 more stable and improving the subsequent limiting clamping effect of the auxiliary fixing arm 12 on the end cap.

[0036] Furthermore, during the clamping and limiting process of the end cap by the auxiliary fixing arm 12, the anti-slip bracket 15 replaces the auxiliary fixing arm 12 in contact with the side wall of the end cap. By using the tension spring 16, the anti-slip bracket 15 can be tightly attached to the edge of the end cap under the action of elasticity. This effectively prevents the contact position from sliding when the auxiliary fixing arm 12 clamps and limits the end cap, further preventing the end cap from falling off during clamping and fixing. It also ensures that there will be no relative sliding between the end cap and the cylinder when they are connected, achieving a tight connection between the cylinder and the end cap.

[0037] By moving multiple sets of auxiliary fixing arms 12, the end cap is quickly clamped and limited inside the end cap fixing plate 8, ensuring the stability of the end cap during installation. Combined with the clamping hydraulic cylinder 17 and end cap clamping plate 18 inside the end cap fixing plate 8, the end cap is pushed to move, making the end cap cross-section perfectly perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, by moving the main frame 1, the end cap inside the end cap fixing plate 8 and multiple sets of auxiliary fixing arms 12 is moved to the position of the cylinder. The top hydraulic cylinder 4, bottom hydraulic cylinder 5 and connecting rotating frame 6 are used for vertical lifting and pitching movements to achieve the assembly of the end cap. After the end cap is aligned with the cylinder, the device is advanced as a whole. After the end cap and the cylinder reach a certain distance, the anti-slip frame 15 releases its anti-slip function, and finally accurately docks with the cylinder. This achieves rapid clamping and docking between the end cap and the cylinder, which facilitates more accurate and tight docking installation of the end cap. It has the advantages of being more stable and convenient, with less damage to the end cap and more savings in personnel input.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
