[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0039] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an assembly tooling and production line for hydraulic pipe assemblies according to the present invention.

[0040] like Figure 1 The image shown is a first-view structural schematic diagram of the assembly tooling provided according to an embodiment of the present utility model; as shown... Figure 2 The diagram shown is a second-view structural schematic of the assembly tooling provided according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown... Figure 3 The diagram shown is a third-view structural schematic of the assembly tooling provided according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown... Figure 4 The diagram shown is a fourth-view structural schematic of the assembly fixture provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The hydraulic pipe assembly of this embodiment includes a pipe body and a connector 60, and the assembly fixture includes:

[0041] Support frame 10;

[0042] Vertical drive component 20 is mounted on support frame 10;

[0043] The pipe fixing assembly (not shown in the figure) is arranged vertically at intervals from the vertical drive member 20 and is used to clamp and fix the pipe body;

[0044] The gripper mechanism is driven to connect with the vertical drive member 20 and is used to clamp or release the connector 60. The vertical drive member 20 can drive the gripper mechanism to move in the vertical direction to fit the connector 60 onto the end of the tube.

[0045] The support frame 10 can be used to mount the vertical drive component 20 and the gripper mechanism. The vertical drive component 20 can drive the gripper mechanism to move vertically, and the gripper mechanism can release or clamp the connector 60. The vertical movement of the gripper mechanism driven by the vertical drive component 20 can cause the connector 60 to move up and down, so that the connector 60 can mate with the end of the pipe body. The pipe body fixing assembly is arranged vertically at intervals from the vertical drive component 20. The pipe body fixing assembly can clamp and fix the pipe body, fixing it in a certain position for assembly with the connector 60. Using the above-mentioned assembly fixture, the assembly of the pipe body and connector 60 of the hydraulic pipe assembly can be automated, improving assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the clamping jaw mechanism comprises a clamping jaw assembly 31 and a clamping driving member 32. The clamping jaw assembly 31 comprises two oppositely arranged clamping jaw members 311, and a clamping space for clamping the joint 60 is formed between the two clamping jaw members 311. The clamping driving member 32 is drivingly connected with the two clamping jaw members 311 and is used to drive the two clamping jaw members 311 to move towards or away from each other. The clamping driving member 32 can drive the two clamping jaw members 311 of the clamping jaw assembly 31 to move towards or away from each other, so as to clamp or release the joint 60. In a specific embodiment, the clamping driving member 32 is a linear driving member (such as a clamping cylinder), the clamping jaw assembly 31 comprises two clamping jaw members 311 and two parallel connecting rod members (not shown in the figure), and the linear driving member can be drivingly connected with the two parallel connecting rod mechanisms. When the driving end of the linear driving member moves, the two parallel connecting rod mechanisms can respectively drive the two clamping jaw members 311 to move synchronously. In another specific embodiment, the clamping jaw member 311 comprises a clamping end and a connecting end, the clamping end is used to clamp the joint 60, and the clamping driving member 32 comprises two driving ends which can move synchronously to drive the connecting end of the clamping jaw member 311 to move, so that the clamping ends move towards or away from each other synchronously. By using the above-mentioned clamping jaw mechanism, the joint 60 can be clamped or released in a simple structure, the control logic is simple, the cost is relatively low, and the maintenance is convenient.

[0047] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4 The two clamping jaw members 311 each comprise a vertical portion (not shown in the figure) and a clamping portion (not shown in the figure), the two clamping portions are oppositely spaced apart and form a clamping space (not shown in the figure), and a pressing block 33 for abutting against the end of the joint 60 is arranged between the two vertical portions. The clamping space between the two clamping portions can be used to clamp the joint 60, and the end of the joint 60 can abut against the pressing block 33, so that the position of the joint 60 in the clamping space is consistent each time, thereby making the assembly consistency better. Further, when only relying on the friction force between the clamping portion and the outer peripheral wall of the joint 60 to realize the cooperation between the pipe body and the joint 60, the joint 60 and the pipe body may fail to be assembled due to insufficient friction force. The pressing block 33 can apply pressure to the end of the joint 60 away from the pipe body, so as to avoid the above-mentioned situation and make the assembly yield rate higher.

[0048] In one embodiment, the pressing block 33 is connected with the clamping portion through an adjusting bolt (not shown in the figure), and the vertical spacing between the pressing block 33 and the clamping portion is adjustable. The vertical spacing between the pressing block 33 and the clamping portion can be adjusted through the adjusting bolt, so as to adapt to the assembly of hydraulic pipe assemblies of different models and improve the universality of the assembly tool.

[0049] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the opposite sides of the two clamping portions are provided with V-shaped grooves 312 arranged oppositely, and the inner walls of the two V-shaped grooves 312 cooperate to form a clamping space. The design of the V-shaped grooves 312 can increase the contact area between the clamping portion and the outer peripheral wall of the joint 60, thereby improving the clamping force. At the same time, the shape of the V-shaped grooves 312 can also guide the joint 60, making it easier for the joint 60 to enter the clamping space.

[0050] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4 The clamping jaw mechanism further comprises a rotating drive 34 drivingly connected with the clamping drive 32 and used to drive the joint 60 to rotate simultaneously with the clamping drive 32. The rotating drive 34 can be an electric motor, which can drive the clamping drive 32 to rotate, and the rotation of the clamping drive 32 can further drive the joint 60 on the clamping jaw mechanism to rotate, so that the joint 60 can rotate while moving towards the end of the pipe body during the cooperation process. With the above structure, when the joint 60 is difficult to cooperate with the pipe body, rotating the joint 60 while moving it towards the end of the pipe body can make the joint 60 more easily fit on the end of the pipe body, improving the success rate of assembly of the hydraulic pipe assembly.

[0051] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The assembly tool further comprises a first guide rail 40 and a first linear drive 50. The first guide rail 40 is installed on the support frame 10 and extends in the horizontal direction, and the vertical drive 20 is slidingly connected with the first guide rail 40. The first linear drive 50 is installed on the first guide rail 40 and drivingly connected with the vertical drive 20, and is used to drive the vertical drive 20 to slide along the first guide rail 40. The first linear drive 50 can be a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder or an electric push rod, etc., and the specific choice depends on the actual demand and working environment. The first linear drive 50 can drive the vertical drive 20 to move along the first guide rail 40, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the joint 60. Further, the first guide rail 40 and the first linear drive 50 can also facilitate the automatic material taking and automatic assembly of the joint 60, improving the assembly efficiency of the hydraulic pipe assembly.

[0052] In one embodiment, the pipe body fixing assembly comprises two pressing blocks (not shown in the figure) and a pressing driving member (not shown in the figure). The two pressing blocks cooperatively form a containing space for accommodating the pipe body, and the pressing driving member is drivingly connected with the two pressing blocks and is used to drive the two pressing blocks to move towards or away from each other in the horizontal direction so as to press the pipe body or release the pipe body. The inner surface of the pressing block is provided with an arc-shaped groove matching the outer wall of the pipe body. This design can increase the contact area between the pressing block and the pipe body, improve the pressing effect, and prevent the pipe body from shaking or falling off during assembly. The pressing driving member can be a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder or an electric push rod, etc. The specific selection depends on the actual requirements and working environment. When it is necessary to fix the pipe body, the pressing driving member drives the two pressing blocks to move towards each other until the pipe body is firmly pressed in the containing space. When it is necessary to release the pipe body, the pressing driving member drives the two pressing blocks to move away from each other, thereby releasing the pressing effect on the pipe body. The above structure enables the pipe body fixing assembly to conveniently fix and release the pipe body, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and stability of the hydraulic pipe assembly.

[0053] In one embodiment, the pipe body fixing assembly further comprises a second guide rail (not shown in the figure), a pipe body fixing member (not shown in the figure) and a second linear driving member (not shown in the figure). The second guide rail extends in the horizontal direction, the pipe body fixing member is slidingly connected with the second guide rail, the pipe body fixing member is provided with a containing cavity for accommodating the pipe body, and the second linear driving member is installed on the second guide rail and is drivingly connected with the pipe body fixing member. The second linear driving member is used to drive the pipe body fixing member to slide along the second guide rail. The above second guide rail and second linear driving member enable the pipe body fixing assembly to further adjust the position of the pipe body. Specifically, the second guide rail provides a sliding path in the horizontal direction, and the pipe body fixing member can move along the path. The containing cavity is designed to match the size of the pipe body, so as to ensure that the pipe body can be stably placed on the pipe body fixing member. The second linear driving member as a power source can accurately control the sliding distance and speed of the pipe body fixing member, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the pipe body. Further, the above structure also facilitates the automatic feeding and automatic assembly of the pipe body, so that the hydraulic pipe assembly can be assembled in a flow line, thereby speeding up the assembly efficiency of the hydraulic pipe assembly.

[0054] In one embodiment, a flow line is provided, which comprises the above-mentioned assembly tool for a hydraulic pipe assembly.
