Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly equipment technology, specifically to a silicone hose assembly equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the processing of various parts, the assembly process of silicone hoses is often involved. Because the hoses are easily deformed, they cannot be assembled by using general clamps. Moreover, the non-connection ends of the hoses are not easy to limit and can easily interfere with the connection process. Furthermore, the hose connectors on the connectors are not easy to align. Therefore, most of the assembly is done manually. However, due to differences in operator proficiency, the accuracy of the connection is difficult to guarantee, resulting in inconsistent product assembly quality.
[0003] Therefore, to address the above issues, we propose a silicone hose assembly equipment solution. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a silicone hose assembly device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A silicone hose assembly device includes an assembly table, with a plug-in table and a hose table respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the assembly table. A plug-in box for limiting the plug-in component is installed on the plug-in table. A plug rod stroke mechanism for driving the plug-in box to move laterally is provided on the assembly table. A tube push stroke mechanism is provided at the bottom of the hose table. A clamp assembly for circumferentially holding the plug end of the connecting hose is provided at the top of the hose table. A tube tail mounting block for limiting the other end of the connecting hose is provided on the right side of the hose table. A spreading assembly for passing the hose connector through the plug-in component and spreading the connecting hose is provided on one side of the plug-in box.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the clamping assembly includes two clamping blocks arranged opposite to each other. A clamping cylinder for driving the clamping blocks to move longitudinally is installed on the hose platform. A semi-circular tube groove with a semi-circular cross-section is provided on the opposite surface of each clamping block. An elastic friction layer is attached to the inner wall of the semi-circular tube groove.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pipe clamping block includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, which form an L-shape. The semi-circular pipe groove is formed on the opposite side of the horizontal plate. The vertical plate and the horizontal plate are installed by a threaded connection. The horizontal plate includes various specifications and sizes, and each different specification of the horizontal plate corresponds to a semi-circular pipe groove of different pipe diameters.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the spreading assembly includes a spreading rod, and a rod cylinder for laterally pushing the spreading rod is installed on the insertion platform. A through-hole for the spreading rod to pass through is provided in the middle of the component insertion box, and an installation port for the downward insertion of the component is provided at the top of the component insertion box. The flexible hose connector of the component is engaged downward from the installation port on the right side of the through-hole.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the component plug box is connected to an air supply pipeline, which is connected to the through port and blows air from left to right. When the hose connector is stuck on the right side of the through port, the gas blew out from the hose connector plug interface. The pipe tail mounting block is provided with a blocking mechanism for sealing the rear end channel of the connecting hose.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pipe tail mounting block includes two connecting blocks arranged one in front of the other, and the blocking mechanism includes an inclined surface for bending the hose provided on the connecting surface of the connecting blocks, and an inclined plate for pressing down and blocking the hose passage is provided above the connecting surface.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the insertion rod stroke mechanism includes a push rod cylinder mounted on the top surface of the assembly table. Two parallel sliding guide rods are horizontally mounted in the middle of the assembly table. The insertion platform and the hose platform are horizontally slidably mounted on the two sliding guide rods. The telescopic end of the push rod cylinder is fixedly connected to the insertion platform. The tube pushing stroke mechanism includes a tube pushing cylinder, which is mounted on the right side of the top surface of the assembly table via a base frame. The telescopic end of the tube pushing cylinder is fixedly connected to the hose platform.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. The plug-in table and hose table set in this utility model can effectively limit the separate plug-in parts and connecting hoses. Then, by pre-opening the opening component, it can be ensured that the hose connector can be smoothly inserted into the connecting hose, which greatly improves the accuracy and convenience of plugging. The device as a whole achieves table-level portability, and can be quickly operated by a single person at a single workstation, which greatly improves assembly efficiency and product consistency.
[0015] 2. The two semi-circular tube grooves in this utility model form a cylindrical cavity for the outer wall of an environmentally friendly hose. The elastic friction layer can adhere the hose to the environmentally friendly hose through frictional contact, so as to provide friction when the hose connector is inserted into the connecting hose and prevent the hose from shifting to the left or right. On the other hand, when the hose connector is inserted into the connecting hose, the connecting hose will also undergo elastic deformation. The elastic friction layer can provide deformation margin space, which can facilitate the smooth insertion of the hose connector. Thus, the hose can be effectively inserted and limited without the clamping method of squeezing and clamping in the clamping assembly.
[0016] 3. The semi-circular pipe grooves of various pipe diameters provided in this utility model can be adapted to hoses of different diameters, thus enhancing adaptability.
[0017] 4. The gas supply pipeline of this utility model, in conjunction with the blocking mechanism, can expand and bulge the hose connector, making the insertion process easier. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[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] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: Example 1
[0029] A silicone hose assembly device includes an assembly table 1. An insertion table 2 and a hose table 3 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the assembly table 1. An insertion box 23 for limiting the insertion of a connector 4 is installed on the insertion table 2. An insertion rod travel mechanism for driving the insertion box 23 to move laterally is provided on the assembly table 1. A tube pushing travel mechanism is provided at the bottom of the hose table 3. A clamp assembly for encircling the insertion end of the connecting hose 41 is provided at the top of the hose table 3. A tube tail mounting block 32 for limiting the other end of the connecting hose 41 is provided on the right side of the hose table 3. A spreading assembly for passing through the hose connector 40 of the connector 4 and spreading the connecting hose 41 is provided on one side of the insertion box 23.
[0030] During operation, the operator first uses the push-clamp assembly to encircle and limit the insertion end of the connecting hose 41. This is done in an environmentally friendly, non-clamped state, preventing deformation of the hose wall. Then, the other end of the connecting hose 41 is pushed to the end of the tube, limiting the insertion. Next, the connector 4 is inserted into the connector box 23 for positioning. Then, the insertion platform 2 and the hose platform 3 move closer together under the action of their respective travel mechanisms. Before the hose connector 40 is inserted into the connecting hose 41, the spreading assembly passes through the hose connector 40 and enters the connecting hose 41 first, serving a pre-spreading function to prevent deformation or bending of the connecting hose 41 port, making insertion difficult. After the spreading assembly is inserted... Next, the hose connector 40 is inserted into the connecting hose 41. After the insertion is completed, the expansion assembly is withdrawn, and the connector 4 is directly removed. The clamp assembly and the pipe end mounting block 32 are released, and the assembled parts can be removed. Thus, the insertion platform 2 and hose platform 3 of this utility model can effectively limit the separate connector 4 and connecting hose 41. Then, by pre-opening the expansion assembly, it is ensured that the hose connector 40 can be smoothly inserted into the connecting hose 41, which greatly improves the accuracy and convenience of insertion. The device as a whole achieves tabletop portability, which can be quickly operated by a single person at a single workstation, greatly improving assembly efficiency and product consistency.
[0031] The clamping assembly includes two clamping blocks 33 arranged opposite each other. A clamping cylinder 34 for driving the clamping blocks 33 to move longitudinally is installed on the hose platform 3. A semi-circular tube groove with a semi-circular cross section is provided on the opposite side of the clamping blocks 33. An elastic friction layer is attached to the inner wall of the semi-circular tube groove.
[0032] During operation, the two semi-circular grooves form a cylindrical cavity that covers the outer wall of the environmentally friendly hose. The elastic friction layer can adhere the hose to the environmentally friendly hose through frictional contact. This elastic friction layer can be made of soft polyester foam or adhesive layer, and there are many material options available, which will not be elaborated here. It provides friction when the hose connector 40 is inserted into the connecting hose 41, preventing the hose from shifting left or right. On the other hand, when the hose connector 40 is inserted into the connecting hose 41, the connecting hose 41 will also undergo elastic deformation. The elastic friction layer can provide a deformation margin, which can facilitate the smooth insertion of the hose connector 40. Thus, the hose can be effectively inserted and limited without the clamping assembly using a squeezing and clamping method.
[0033] The clamping block 33 includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, which form an L-shape. The semi-circular pipe groove is opened on the opposite side of the horizontal plate. The vertical plate and the horizontal plate are installed by a threaded connection. The horizontal plate includes various specifications and sizes, and each different specification of the horizontal plate is for semi-circular pipe grooves of different pipe diameters.
[0034] During operation, the semi-circular grooves with various pipe diameters can accommodate hoses of different diameters, making them more adaptable.
[0035] The expansion assembly includes an expansion rod 22. The insertion platform 2 is equipped with an insertion cylinder 21 for laterally pushing the expansion rod 22. The middle of the component insertion box 23 is provided with a through-hole for the expansion rod 22 to pass through. The top of the component insertion box 23 is provided with an installation port for the insertion component 4 to be inserted downwards. The hose connector 40 of the insertion component 4 is locked downwards from the installation port and on the right side of the through-hole.
[0036] During operation, the connector 4 is inserted downwards into the connector box 23 through the mounting port at the top of the connector box 23. At this time, the hose connector 40 is stuck on the right side of the through-hole, and the expansion rod 22 passes through the hose connector 40 from the left side of the through-hole and extends out, so that it can pass over the connector 4 to achieve the expansion action, and also facilitates the subsequent withdrawal action of the expansion rod 22. Example 2
[0037] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:
[0038] The component plug box 23 is connected to an air supply pipeline. The air supply pipeline is connected to the through port and blows air from left to right. When the hose connector 40 is stuck on the right side of the through port, the gas blows out from the plug interface of the hose connector 40. The pipe tail mounting block 32 is provided with a blocking mechanism for blocking the rear end channel of the connecting hose 41.
[0039] During operation, in order to further solve the problem that the connecting hose 41 itself is compressed and deformed and cannot be fully opened, high-pressure gas is bulged outward from the hose connector 40. When the hose connector 40 is close to the insertion port of the connecting hose 41, high-pressure gas will bulge into the connecting hose 41. The rear end of the connecting hose 41 is blocked by the blocking mechanism, and the insertion end of the connecting hose 41 will bulge under the action of high-pressure gas, thereby opening up the bent or deformed opening and ensuring that the hose connector 40 is successfully inserted.
[0040] The pipe tail mounting block 32 includes two connecting blocks arranged one in front of the other, and the blocking mechanism includes an inclined surface on the connecting surface of the connecting blocks for bending the hose, and an inclined plate above the connecting surface for pressing down and blocking the hose passage.
[0041] During operation, when the hose connector 40 bulges towards the connecting hose 41, in order to ensure the effect of bulging the front end of the connecting hose 41, the rear end of the connecting hose 41 needs to be sealed, thereby increasing the internal air pressure of the connecting hose 41 and achieving the bulging state. Here, the rear end of the connecting hose 41, i.e. the right end shown in the figure, first bends through the inclined mating surface, thereby temporarily blocking the air passage of the connecting hose 41. The further set inclined plate can ensure the downward pressure, completely blocking the air passage of the connecting hose 41, preventing the airflow from rushing back and reducing the air pressure, thus preventing the bulging from occurring.
[0042] The insertion rod stroke mechanism includes a push rod cylinder 20 installed on the top surface of the assembly platform 1. Two parallel sliding guide rods 24 are horizontally mounted in the middle of the assembly platform 1. The insertion platform 2 and the hose platform 3 are horizontally slidably mounted on the two sliding guide rods 24. The telescopic end of the push rod cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the insertion platform 2. The tube pushing stroke mechanism includes a tube pushing cylinder 31. The tube pushing cylinder 31 is installed on the right side of the top surface of the assembly platform 1 through a seat 30. The telescopic end of the tube pushing cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the hose platform 3.
[0043] During operation, the insertion platform 2 and the hose platform 3 are driven by the push rod cylinder 20 and the push tube cylinder 31 respectively to slide on the sliding guide rod 24, so as to realize the operation of moving closer and separating from each other.
