Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fuel tank processing technology, specifically a multi-functional processing device for automotive fuel tank inlets. Background Technology

[0002] A car fuel tank is a container used to store fuel in a vehicle and is an important part of the vehicle's fuel system. The main function of the fuel tank is to store the fuel required by the car and deliver the fuel to the engine for combustion through a fuel pump. Car fuel tanks are generally produced by stamping or injection molding. Car fuel tanks are equipped with fuel tank openings. The design of the fuel tank openings is not only for refueling, but also to ensure pressure balance inside the fuel tank, prevent contamination, ensure smooth fuel flow, and improve safety.

[0003] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the requirements for automobile production and quality are constantly increasing, and consumers' demands for automobile appearance and various standards are also gradually rising. Against this backdrop, the production of automobile fuel tanks is also facing enormous challenges. As fuel tank production increases, the industry's requirements for precision are also constantly rising. Because the production process involves multiple steps, and each step has increasingly higher precision requirements, this makes standardized and high-precision production increasingly difficult.

[0004] Especially during the installation of fuel tanks and mating parts, the instability of production processes and machining precision often leads to difficulties in the installation process. Some fuel tanks and mating parts are not fitted precisely enough, resulting in mismatches and large errors during assembly. This not only affects the overall assembly efficiency but may also affect the final product quality. In addition, the inconsistency of fuel tanks also leads to low efficiency in large-scale production, requiring more manpower and time for adjustment and repair, thus increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-functional processing device for automotive fuel tank nozzles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-functional processing device for automobile fuel tank nozzles is set on a workbench and includes a cutting component and a flaring component arranged side by side on the workbench.

[0008] A pusher located on the worktable on one side of the cutting and flaring parts;

[0009] It also includes a fixing member disposed on the pusher, on which a car fuel tank is placed. The pusher drives the fixing member to move laterally on the worktable so that the car fuel tank is moved to the processing station of the cutting part or the flared part for processing.

[0010] A multi-functional processing device for automobile fuel tank openings as described above: the cutting component includes a motor mounted on the worktable and a cutting blade fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor. The motor is used to drive the cutting blade to rotate, thereby cutting the opening of the automobile fuel tank.

[0011] A multi-functional processing device for automotive fuel tank pipe openings as described above: the flaring component includes a telescopic power head mounted on the worktable and a milling cutter disposed on the output shaft of the telescopic power head. The telescopic power head is used to drive the milling cutter to rotate and extend, thereby progressively flaring the pipe opening of the automotive fuel tank after it has been cut.

[0012] A multi-functional processing device for automobile fuel tank nozzles as described above: the pushing component includes two first slide rails symmetrically fixed on the worktable, a first moving mechanism sliding on the first slide rails, and a second moving mechanism sliding on the first moving mechanism;

[0013] The first moving mechanism includes a first mounting plate that slides on the first slide rail, a first cylinder mounted on the worktable with its piston rod connected to one end of the bottom of the first mounting plate, a second slide rail fixed perpendicular to the first slide rail on the first mounting plate, and a second cylinder mounted on the first mounting plate. The piston rod of the second cylinder is connected to the second moving mechanism.

[0014] A multi-functional processing device for automotive fuel tank nozzles as described above: The second moving mechanism includes a second mounting plate that slides on the second slide rail and a connecting block fixed to one side of the second mounting plate, wherein the connecting block is connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder.

[0015] A multi-functional processing device for automobile fuel tank nozzles as described above: the fixing component includes a fixing seat fixed on the second mounting plate and a first limiting mechanism and a second limiting mechanism disposed on the fixing seat, wherein the bearing surface of the fixing seat matches the irregular geometric shape of the outer contour of the automobile fuel tank.

[0016] A multi-functional processing device for an automotive fuel tank nozzle as described above: The first limiting mechanism includes a third cylinder rotatably mounted on the fixed base and a pressing rod mounted on the fixed base and movably connected to the piston rod of the third cylinder. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the third cylinder controls the pressing rod to abut and fix the automotive fuel tank.

[0017] A multi-functional processing device for automobile fuel tank nozzles as described above: the second limiting mechanism includes a connecting clamping block mounted on the fixed base, a connecting frame fixed on the connecting clamping block, a guide block mounted on the top of the connecting frame, and a third slide rail sliding on the guide block;

[0018] It also includes a pressure seat fixed to one end of the third slide rail and a fourth cylinder with the piston rod fixed to the pressure seat. The fourth cylinder is fixed to the top of the connecting frame. The pressure seat and the connecting clamping block cooperate to clamp the port of the automobile fuel tank.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] By integrating multiple processing techniques, the processing of automotive fuel tanks can be carried out more efficiently and precisely. In actual operation, the automotive fuel tank to be processed is first placed on a fixing component to ensure that it remains stable and does not easily shift during processing. The fixing component is precisely designed to firmly clamp the automotive fuel tank, preventing any loosening or displacement during subsequent processing. At this point, the role of the pusher becomes particularly important. It can push the fixing component to move as needed, allowing the automotive fuel tank to smoothly transition from one processing station to the next.

[0021] Specifically, the pusher controls the movement of the fixing component between the cutting component and the flaring component. First, the car fuel tank is pushed to the cutting station, where the cutting component precisely cuts the opening of the fuel tank. During this process, the fixing component remains firmly fixed to the car fuel tank, ensuring that the fuel tank does not shift during cutting, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the cutting. Next, the cut fuel tank is pushed to the flaring station for flaring. Similarly, during this process, the car fuel tank remains firmly clamped by the fixing component, preventing any possible displacement and allowing the flaring process to be performed accurately.

[0022] In this way, every step of the entire processing is fully guaranteed. Especially in the multi-step processing, the car fuel tank is always kept in a fixed state, ensuring that each step can achieve strict processing accuracy. Since there is no slippage or displacement, the accuracy and efficiency of the entire processing flow are significantly improved. This integrated processing method not only improves processing accuracy and avoids errors caused by slippage, but also effectively shortens the production cycle and improves processing efficiency, making the entire production process more stable and efficient.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, a multi-functional processing device for automobile fuel tank nozzles is set on a workbench 1, including a cutting component and a flaring component arranged side by side on the workbench 1;

[0033] A pusher located on the worktable 1 on one side of the cutting and flaring parts;

[0034] It also includes a fixing member disposed on the pusher, on which a car fuel tank is placed. The pusher drives the fixing member to move laterally on the worktable 1 so that the car fuel tank is moved to the processing station of the cutting part or the flaring part for processing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the car fuel tank to be processed is securely placed on a specially designed fastener. The fastener firmly secures the fuel tank, ensuring that there will be no loosening or displacement during subsequent processing steps. This avoids affecting the processing accuracy due to any slight deviation. At the same time, the movement of the pusher can drive the fastener to move smoothly, allowing the fuel tank to switch smoothly between various processing stations. By adjusting the pusher, the position of the car fuel tank on the fastener can be precisely adjusted as needed, ensuring seamless connection between different processing steps.

[0036] The processing begins with cutting. First, the pusher moves the fixed car fuel tank to the cutting station. After precise positioning, the cutting component begins cutting the fuel tank's nozzle. The size and shape of the nozzle directly affect the fuel tank's safety and performance. Through the cooperation of the cutting and fixing components, the fuel tank remains fixed during the cutting process, ensuring cutting accuracy. After cutting, the cutting component stops working, and the pusher retracts, removing the cut fuel tank from the cutting station. The fuel tank enters the next processing station, the flaring section's work area. At the flaring station, the pusher still plays a crucial role, ensuring that the fuel tank can accurately enter the processing area of ​​the flaring section. The flaring section is responsible for flaring the already cut pipe opening. The accuracy of the flaring also has an important impact on the overall performance of the fuel tank. In order to ensure the stability of the fuel tank during the flaring process, the worktable 1 and the pusher are equipped with a precise positioning mechanism to ensure that the fuel tank will not shift or move during the processing, thereby avoiding errors caused by any slight movement.

[0037] Throughout the entire cutting and flaring process, the automotive fuel tank remains supported by fixed components. This process not only improves the machining accuracy of the pipe opening but also significantly increases processing efficiency. Because the fuel tank remains stable and does not shift at any stage, the precision of cutting and flaring is maximized, avoiding any potential machining deviations. Furthermore, the smooth switching between workstations effectively shortens the entire production cycle, improving overall processing efficiency. Through this precise process integration, the entire fuel tank machining process becomes more efficient and stable, ensuring that every fuel tank meets high-standard quality requirements.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the cutting component includes a motor 2 mounted on the workbench 1 and a cutting blade 3 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 2. The motor 2 is used to drive the cutting blade 3 to rotate, thereby cutting the opening of the automobile fuel tank.

[0039] The flaring component includes a telescopic power head 4 mounted on the worktable 1 and a milling cutter 5 disposed on the output shaft of the telescopic power head 4. The telescopic power head 4 is used to drive the milling cutter 5 to rotate and extend, thereby progressively flaring the opening of the cut-out pipe of the automobile fuel tank.

[0040] In this embodiment, the motor 2 and the telescopic power head 4 are electrically connected to an external control device. This external control device allows for convenient control of the motor 2 and the telescopic power head 4's operating status. The external control device adjusts parameters such as the speed of the motor 2 as needed, thereby precisely controlling the rotation of the cutting blade 3. This ensures high precision during the cutting of the fuel tank opening. Driven by the motor 2, the cutting blade 3 rotates at high speed to cut the fuel tank opening. This process not only ensures cutting efficiency but also achieves the required precise dimensions of the opening, laying a solid foundation for subsequent reaming operations. The telescopic power head 4, adjusted by the external control device, precisely controls the movement of the milling cutter 5. The combination of rotation and telescopic functions allows for flexible adjustment of the reaming depth during the reaming process of the fuel tank opening, ensuring accuracy and stability when reaming the already cut opening. In actual operation, the telescopic power head 4 uses its telescopic function to allow the milling cutter 5 to reach different working depths, ensuring the smooth progress of the reaming operation.

[0041] This design, which integrates cutting and reaming processes, greatly improves overall processing efficiency. Through the linkage control of motor 2 and telescopic power head 4, the entire processing process can be carried out efficiently and orderly, avoiding repetitive positioning and unnecessary transfer steps that may occur in traditional multi-process processing. This reduces processing time and the possibility of mechanical errors. In addition, precise electrical control and mechanical coordination not only ensure processing accuracy but also improve the automation level of the equipment, reduce manual intervention and operational errors, and further enhance the stability and safety of processing.

[0042] Please see Figures 3-6 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pushing component includes two first slide rails 6 symmetrically fixed on the worktable 1, a first moving mechanism sliding on the first slide rails 6, and a second moving mechanism sliding on the first moving mechanism.

[0043] The first moving mechanism includes a first mounting plate 7 that slides on the first slide rail 6, a first cylinder 8 that is mounted on the worktable 1 and whose piston rod is connected to one end of the bottom of the first mounting plate 7, a second slide rail 9 that is fixed to the first mounting plate 7 in a direction perpendicular to the first slide rail 6, and a second cylinder 10 that is mounted on the first mounting plate 7. The piston rod of the second cylinder 10 is connected to the second moving mechanism.

[0044] The second moving mechanism includes a second mounting plate 11 that slides on the second slide rail 9 and a connecting block 12 fixed to one side of the second mounting plate 11. The connecting block 12 is connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 1, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 8 is connected to the bottom of the first mounting plate 7 to form a stable drive system. The sliding direction of the first slide rail 6 is perpendicular to the axis of the output shaft of the motor 2, and the sliding direction of the second slide rail 9 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first slide rail 6. This vertical design allows the combination of the two slide rails to be precisely adjusted in a two-dimensional plane, ensuring the flexibility and accuracy of each link in the processing. The first mounting plate 7 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 6, and the second mounting plate 11 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 9. The precise cooperation between these two mounting plates allows the entire system to be adjusted in all directions, greatly improving the convenience of operation. The sliding state of the first mounting plate 7 is controlled by the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the first cylinder 8. The position of the mounting plate on the first slide rail 6 can be precisely controlled by adjusting the extension and retraction of the piston rod, thereby adjusting the cutting and processing depth required in the cutting and reaming processes, improving the efficiency and flexibility of the overall operation.

[0046] The second mounting plate 11 is controlled by the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the second cylinder 10 to maintain its sliding state. The second cylinder 10, through precise control, enables the second mounting plate 11 to slide smoothly on the second slide rail 9, thereby making the adjustment of the entire system more flexible. Due to the cooperation between the first slide rail 6 and the second slide rail 9, the second mounting plate 11 can not only be adjusted left, right, forward, and backward in the planar direction, but also be adjusted to the ideal working position as needed in different operations. In this way, it is ensured that the mounting plate can always maintain a precise position during the cutting and enlarging of the car fuel tank, thus ensuring the accuracy of each processing operation.

[0047] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the fixing member includes a fixing seat 13 fixed on the second mounting plate 11 and a first limiting mechanism and a second limiting mechanism disposed on the fixing seat 13. The bearing surface of the fixing seat 13 matches the irregular geometric shape of the outer contour of the automobile fuel tank.

[0048] The first limiting mechanism includes a third cylinder 14 rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 13 and a pressing rod 15 mounted on the fixed seat 13 and movably connected to the piston rod of the third cylinder 14. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the third cylinder 14 controls the pressing rod 15 to abut and fix the automobile fuel tank.

[0049] The second limiting mechanism includes a connecting clamping block 16 mounted on the fixed base 13, a connecting frame 17 fixed on the connecting clamping block 16, a guide block 18 mounted on the top of the connecting frame 17, and a third slide rail 19 sliding on the guide block 18;

[0050] It also includes a pressure seat 20 fixed to one end of the third slide rail 19 and a fourth cylinder 21 with the piston rod fixed to the pressure seat 20. The fourth cylinder 21 is fixed to the top of the connecting frame 17. The pressure seat 20 and the connecting clamping block 16 cooperate to clamp the port of the automobile fuel tank.

[0051] In this embodiment, the shape of the car fuel tank is typically irregular. Therefore, the bearing surface of the mounting base 13 is specially designed to match the outer contour of the car fuel tank to ensure that the car fuel tank can be stably fixed on the mounting base 13 when placed. In this way, the car fuel tank can not only be firmly fixed in the correct position, but also avoid any shaking or movement during the processing, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the processing. After the car fuel tank is placed, the pressing force of the clamping rod 15 on the car fuel tank can be precisely adjusted and controlled by the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the third cylinder 14. This design allows the clamping rod 15 to apply appropriate pressure to the fuel tank when needed, ensuring that the fuel tank will not move due to external forces, thereby improving the processing efficiency. To ensure stability, the fourth cylinder 21 installed on the connecting frame 17 also has a telescopic function. The extension and retraction of its piston rod can precisely control the sliding and adjustment of the pressure seat 20 on the connecting frame 17. In this way, the adjustment range of the pressure seat 20 is fully guaranteed. The distance between the pressure seat 20 and the connecting clamping block 16 can be adjusted according to processing requirements, thereby ensuring that the clamping of the oil tank pipe opening by the pressure seat 20 and the connecting clamping block 16 is always in a stable and reasonable state under different working conditions. In order to further precisely control the movement of the pressure seat 20, the pressure seat 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the third slide rail 19. The third slide rail 19 can slide freely, and its sliding trajectory is fixed in the guide block 18 on the connecting frame 17, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the sliding process.

[0052] This sophisticated design limits the vertical lifting range of the pressure seat 20, ensuring that its height adjustment is not only smooth but also error-free. Through the precise cooperation between the connecting clamping block 16 and the pressure seat 20, the nozzle of the automobile fuel tank can be effectively clamped, preventing any displacement or instability of the fuel tank during processing. This is crucial for the processing because it ensures that the fuel tank can always be kept in the ideal position when the fuel tank nozzle is finely processed, thereby avoiding processing errors and unnecessary readjustments, and ensuring the efficiency and high quality of the entire processing process.

[0053] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
