Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hose and connector assembly technology, specifically a tooling for assembling hoses and quick-connect connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber hoses are a type of tubular rubber product used to transport gases, liquids, slurries, or granular materials. They consist of inner and outer rubber layers and a reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer can be made of materials such as cotton fiber, various synthetic fibers, carbon fiber, asbestos, or steel wire. The assembly of the hose and its fittings is a key step in ensuring the normal operation of the fluid transmission system.

[0003] In existing technology, a rubber hose and quick-connect fitting installation device (publication number CN202021056600.7) is described. This application uses a clamping operating rod and a clamping auxiliary rod to clamp the rubber hose using a first clamping unit and a second clamping unit. Then, a plug operating rod is driven to push the quick-connect fitting into the rubber hose, thus completing the installation. This method is simple to operate, saves time and manpower, and reduces the skill requirements for personnel. However, the second connecting shaft is cylindrical. While straight-through quick-connect fittings are placed on one side of the second connecting shaft for connecting the quick-connect fitting to the rubber hose, the special shapes of tee quick-connect fittings and elbow quick-connect fittings make them inconvenient to fit onto the second connecting shaft, and also make it difficult to connect other types of quick-connect fittings to the rubber hose. Therefore, the applicability of this rubber hose and quick-connect fitting installation device is limited. To address this, we provide a tooling for assembling rubber hoses and quick-connect fittings. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a tooling for assembling hoses and quick-connect couplings, comprising:

[0031] Base plate 1;

[0032] Hose pushing assembly 2 is installed on the upper left side of the base plate 1 and is used to push the hose to insert the hose into the quick connector.

[0033] Rotating component 3 is installed on the upper right side of the base plate 1 and is used to drive the quick-connect connector to rotate for insertion of the hose.

[0034] The quick-connector locking assembly 4 is installed on the upper end of the rotating assembly 3 and is used to lock and limit the quick-connector.

[0035] In this embodiment, the quick-connect connector is placed inside the quick-connect connector locking assembly 4, and the quick-connect connector is locked by the quick-connect connector locking assembly 4, which facilitates the subsequent insertion of the tubing into the quick-connect structure. The rotating assembly 3 can drive the quick-connect connector locking assembly 4 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the quick-connect connector where the tubing needs to be inserted. At the same time, the tubing is fixed on the tubing pushing assembly 2, and the tubing is pushed into the quick-connect connector by the tubing pushing assembly 2, thereby realizing the assembly of the tubing and the quick-connect structure.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Based on Example 1, the wire harness clamping assembly hose pushing assembly 2 is further disclosed.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hose pushing assembly 2 includes: a fixing block 201 fixedly installed on the upper left side of the base plate 1, a hydraulic rod 202 fixedly installed on the right side of the fixing block 201, a slider 203 fixedly installed on the right side of the hydraulic rod 202, a pressure block 204 overlapping the upper end of the slider 203, and a pipe clamp 205 fixedly installed at the middle of the upper end of the slider 203 and the middle of the lower end of the pressure block 204.

[0039] In this embodiment, the nut on the pressure block 204 is loosened, causing the pressure block 204 to slide upward and disengage from the slider 203. Then, the hose is placed in the tube clamp 205 on the slider 203, and the nut is tightened to drive the pressure block 204 to slide down and engage with the slider 203. The tube clamp 205 on the pressure block 204 will also engage with the tube clamp 205 on the slider 203 to fix the hose. Then, the hydraulic rod 202 on the fixing block 201 is activated to push the slider 203 to the right, thereby causing the hose fixed on the slider 203 to slide to the right, so that the hose is inserted into the quick connector fixed on the quick connector locking assembly 4, thus assembling the hose and the quick connector.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] Based on Embodiment 1, the rotating component 3 is further disclosed.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the rotating assembly 3 includes: a turntable 301 rotatably connected to the upper right side of the base plate 1; a slot 302 is provided on the outer side of the turntable 301; a slot 303 is provided inside the base plate 1 on the right side of the turntable 301; a locking block 304 is slidably connected inside the slot 303; a first spring 305 is provided between the locking block 304 and the slot 303; a lever 306 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the locking block 304; and a stop block 307 is slidably connected to the upper end of the base plate 1 on the right side of the turntable 301.

[0043] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the quick-connect fitting fixed on the quick-connect fitting locking assembly 4 so that the tube opening needs to be inserted, the stop block 307 on the base plate 1 is slidable to release the obstruction of the lever block 306, allowing the lever block 306 to slide freely, thereby releasing the restriction on the locking block 304. Then, the turntable 301 is rotated, thereby driving the quick-connect fitting locking assembly 4 to rotate. The locking block 304 has a beveled design on both sides. When the turntable 301 rotates, it will press the beveled locking block 304, causing the locking block 304 to move into the slot 303. The sliding block 307 applies pressure to the first spring 305. When the turntable 301 rotates to the designated position, the slot 302 connects with the empty slot 303. The first spring 305 resets, causing the locking block 304 to pop out and engage in the slot 302, thus limiting the turntable 301. This facilitates adjusting the position of the tube opening of the multi-port quick-connect fitting that needs to be inserted into the hose, and serves as a reminder that the turntable has been rotated to the designated position. At the same time, the sliding block 307 blocks the toggle block 306 to lock the locking block 304, improving the stability of the quick-connect fitting locking assembly 4.

[0044] Example 4:

[0045] Based on Embodiment 1, a quick-connect locking assembly 4 is further disclosed.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the quick-connect locking assembly 4 includes: a lower locking platform 401 fixedly installed on the upper end of the turntable 301; an upper locking platform 402 rotatably connected to the upper right side of the lower locking platform 401; a placement groove 403 is provided at the upper end of the lower locking platform 401 and the lower end of the upper locking platform 402; a rubber pad 404 is pasted inside the placement groove 403; a locking block 405 is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the lower locking platform 401; a limit block 406 is slidably connected to the upper end of the locking block 405; a second spring 407 is provided between the limit block 406 and the locking block 405; a connecting rod 408 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the limit block 406; and limit grooves 409 are provided at the front and rear ends of the upper locking platform 402.

[0047] In this embodiment, when fixing the quick-connect connector, the placement grooves 403 on the lower locking platform 401 and the upper locking platform 402 are cross-shaped. T-shaped quick-connect connectors, elbow quick-connect connectors, and straight quick-connect connectors can all be placed into the placement grooves 403 for positioning and fixing. After placing the quick-connect connector into the placement groove 403 on the lower locking platform 401, the upper locking platform 402 is rotated to align with the lower locking platform 401, completely locking the quick-connect connector into the placement groove 403. The rubber pad 404 inside the placement groove 403 increases the friction between the quick-connect connector and the upper locking platform 402, thereby improving the positioning and fixing effect. The upper end of the limiting block 406 is designed with a slope. When the upper locking platform 402 rotates to align with the lower locking platform 401, it will squeeze the slope of the limiting block 406, causing the limiting block 406 to lock... The fixed block 405 slides within the fixed block, compressing the second spring 407. When the upper locking platform 402 and the lower locking platform 401 are fully engaged, the limiting groove 409 on the upper locking platform 402 and the limiting block 406 are on the same plane. The second spring 407 resets, causing the limiting block 406 to pop out from the locking block 405 and engage in the limiting groove 409, thereby locking the upper locking platform 402 and improving the stability of the quick-connect fitting after placement. This facilitates the subsequent insertion of the hose into the quick-connect fitting. When the quick-connect fitting with the hose inserted is removed, the sliding link 408 drives the limiting block 406 to slide into the locking block 405, thereby disengaging the limiting block 406 from the limiting groove 409 and releasing the lock on the upper locking platform 402. The upper locking platform 402 is then rotated to expose and remove the quick-connect fitting.

[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
