Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical engineering, specifically to a pipe loading machine. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive battery control box contains electronic control components. In order to cool these electronic control components, a water-cooling channel is also provided inside the control box. The water-cooling channel is concentrated on the heat-generating parts of the electronic control components, and the control box also has inlet and outlet for the water-cooling channel.

[0003] Aluminum alloy die castings and magnesium alloy die castings have the advantages of high strength and lightweight, and have become the mainstream production method for automotive battery control boxes. After the die casting of the control box is completed, inlet and outlet water pipe connectors need to be inserted at the inlet and outlet of the water cooling channel to facilitate pipeline connection with the cooling water circulation system.

[0004] The insertion connection between the inlet and outlet water pipe joints and the inlet and outlet of the water cooling channel is characterized by high strength, large workload, and high quality requirements; therefore, setting up a dedicated insertion device is a more suitable solution. Since the automotive battery control box is relatively large, from the perspective of saving space, it should preferably be arranged longitudinally during insertion operations (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the inlet and outlet water pipe joints need to be inserted vertically (downward) into the inlet and outlet of the water cooling channel.

[0005] However, directly clamping the inlet and outlet pipe joints vertically has the following drawbacks:

[0006] ① When the water pipe joint is installed vertically, its clamping cavity will inevitably face downwards, resulting in poor visibility for workers, which is not conducive to the quick and stable placement of the water pipe joint and slows down the placement process.

[0007] ② Workers need to hold the water pipe connector by hand until the insertion equipment clamps it securely, making it impossible to perform other preparatory work while the equipment is clamping the water pipe connector, which further slows down the production pace. Utility Model Content

[0008] To accelerate production, this utility model provides a pipe-holding device for pipe insertion equipment. By changing the posture of the pipe connector clamping part, it enables rapid and stable horizontal placement of the pipe connector, as well as vertical pipe insertion operations. The main technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0009] A tube holding fixture for a tube loading machine, the key feature of which is: a tube holding base, on which a rotating displacement assembly is configured, the rotating displacement assembly including a fixed part and a rotating part, the fixed part being fixedly connected to the tube holding base, the rotating part being rotatably configured on the fixed part, and the rotation center line of the rotating part being set horizontally;

[0010] The rotating part is equipped with a gripper mechanism, which includes an actuating component and two clamping plates. The two clamping plates are respectively mounted on the actuating component, and the actuating component drives the two clamping plates to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0011] The two clamps are respectively provided with tube-holding cavities on their opposite sides.

[0012] When the two clamps are rotated to a horizontal position, it is the pipe placement station. At this time, the pipe holding chamber is also configured to face horizontally, providing a good line of sight and facilitating the quick placement of the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors. Workers can then place the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors on the lower clamps and proceed with other preparatory work. This accelerates the production pace of the pipe insertion operation.

[0013] When the two clamps are rotated to a vertical position, they are in the insertion position. At this time, the tube holding cavity is also configured to face vertically downwards to cooperate with the longitudinally placed automotive battery control box for insertion.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a pipe holding fixture for a pipe loading machine includes a pipe holding base 1. A rotation displacement assembly 2 is disposed on the pipe holding base 1. The rotation displacement assembly 2 includes a fixed part 21 and a rotating part 22. The fixed part 21 is fixedly connected to the pipe holding base 1, and the rotating part 22 is rotatably disposed on the fixed part 21. The rotation center line of the rotating part 22 is set horizontally.

[0023] A preferred embodiment is that the rotational positioning component 2 is a rotary cylinder, the cylinder barrel of the rotary cylinder forms the fixed part 21, and the output shaft of the rotary cylinder forms the rotating part 22. A further preferred embodiment is that the rotational positioning component 2 is a rack and pinion rotary cylinder.

[0024] Of course, the rotational displacement component 2 can also be a servo motor.

[0025] The rotating part 22 is provided with a gripper mechanism 3. The gripper mechanism 3 includes an execution component 31 and two clamping plates 32. The two clamping plates 32 are respectively mounted on the execution component 31. The execution component 31 drives the two clamping plates 32 to move closer or further away from each other.

[0026] The two clamping plates 32 are respectively provided with tube holding cavities on their opposite sides.

[0027] The gripper mechanism 3 is the effective component for holding the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors. The function of the rotation and positioning assembly 2 is to rotate the gripper mechanism 3 to different positions. When the two clamping plates 32 rotate to the horizontal position, it is the pipe placement position. At this time, the pipe holding cavity is also configured to face horizontally, providing good visibility and facilitating the quick placement of the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors. Simultaneously, the worker can place the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors on the lower clamping plate and then proceed with other preparatory work. Therefore, the pipe holding assembly with this structure can accelerate the production rhythm of the pipe insertion operation. When the two clamping plates 32 rotate to the vertical position, it is the pipe insertion position. At this time, the pipe holding cavity is also configured to face vertically downwards to cooperate with the longitudinally placed automotive battery control box for pipe insertion operations.

[0028] The actuator 31 is preferably a finger cylinder, the cylinder of which is fixedly connected to the rotating part 22, and the two grippers of the finger cylinder are respectively fixedly connected to the clamping plate 32.

[0029] To make the two clamping plates 32 more stable when they are close to each other, the two clamping plates 32 are also provided with a clamping plate stabilizing assembly 4, which includes a tensioning column 41 and a pressing pin 42.

[0030] For ease of explanation: one of the clamping plates 32 is named the tensioning clamping plate, and the other clamping plate 32 is named the pressing clamping plate;

[0031] One end of the tensioning column 41 is fixed to the inner side of the tensioning clamping plate, and a clamping pin insertion hole is provided at the free end of the tensioning column 41; a clearance through hole is provided on the clamping clamping plate corresponding to the tensioning column 41, and the actuating component 31 drives the clamping plate to move along the tensioning column 41; a telescopic component 5 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the clamping plate, and the telescopic part of the telescopic component 5 is fixedly connected to the clamping pin 42;

[0032] When the rotational positioning component 2 rotates the two clamping plates 32 to a horizontal pipe-laying position, the telescopic part of the telescopic component 5 remains in a retracted state, and the clamping pin 42 also remains in a retracted state. The execution component 31 drives the two clamping plates 32 away from each other, and the worker places the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors into the pipe-holding cavity on the lower clamping plate 32. Then, the execution component 31 drives the two clamping plates 32 closer together and clamps the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors. At this time, the free end of the tensioning column 41 extends to the outside of the clamping plate, and the telescopic part of the telescopic component 5 extends out, driving the clamping pin 42 to extend into the clamping pin insertion hole. The tensioning column 41 and the clamping pin 42 cooperate to further tighten / compress the two clamping plates 32 to maintain the clamping stability of the two clamping plates 32 for the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors. Afterward, the rotational positioning component 2 drives the two clamping plates 32 to rotate to a vertical pipe-insertion position for pipe-insertion operation.

[0033] After the insertion operation is completed, the telescopic part of the telescopic component 5 drives the clamping pin 42 to retract synchronously, contacting the connection between the clamping pin 42 and the tensioning column 41. The execution component 31 then drives the two clamping plates 31 to move away from each other, loosening the inlet and outlet water pipe joints. The rotation displacement component 2 then drives the two clamping plates 32 to rotate back to the horizontal pipe laying position for the next round of operation.

[0034] The telescopic component 5 is preferably a telescopic cylinder, and the clamping pin 42 is fixedly connected to the free end of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder.

[0035] In order to control the rotation angle of the rotating displacement assembly 2 and switch the clamping plate 32 between the tube placement position and the tube insertion position, a rotation limiting block 23 is fixed on the fixed part 21 and an angle limiting stop bar 24 is fixed on the rotating part 22. When the rotating part 22 rotates, it rotates into position as the angle limiting stop bar 24 abuts against the rotation limiting block 23.

[0036] To facilitate the insertion of the clamping pin 42, the free end of the clamping pin 42 is provided with a guide chamfer. A wear-resistant ring 43 is fixedly nested inside the clamping pin insertion hole to improve service life.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] A type of tube loading machine, such as Figure 6As shown, it includes a tube mounting base A and a lifting seat B. The tube mounting base A is vertically arranged, and a vertical slide rail assembly C is mounted on any side of the tube mounting base A. The lifting seat B is vertically slidably mounted to the tube mounting base A through the vertical slide rail assembly C. The lifting seat B is connected to a lifting drive mechanism D, which can be a lifting cylinder. The lifting seat B is provided with the tube holding fixture described in Embodiment 1, and its tube holding base 1 is mounted on the lifting seat B.

[0039] Below the lifting seat B, there is also a product clamp (not shown in the figure), which is used to hold the product to be assembled into a pipe fitting stably.

[0040] Beneficial effects: The present invention uses a rotating displacement component to switch the position of the clamping component, so that the pipe laying operation is carried out in the horizontal direction and the pipe insertion operation is carried out in the vertical direction, thereby quickly placing the inlet and outlet water pipe joints into place and speeding up the production rhythm of the pipe insertion operation.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art, under the guidance of the present utility model, can make various similar representations without departing from the spirit and claims of the present utility model, and such modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
