Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air spring forming equipment, and more specifically, to a fully automatic air spring forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] Air springs are flexible components that utilize the elasticity of compressed air to achieve load-bearing, vibration damping, and height adjustment. Compared to steel springs, they offer better comfort and controllability and are widely used in automobiles, rail transportation, and industrial equipment. To meet the production needs of air springs, specific air spring forming machines are required. With the development of industrial automation technology, air spring forming equipment adopts a semi-automatic working mode to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure product quality.

[0003] Air spring forming machines are key equipment in the production of air springs. Existing diaphragm air spring forming machines often perform the film lamination and reverse wrapping processes directly on the same lamination drum, requiring manual glue application, which is inefficient. The steel ring loading at the main shaft of the forming machine is inconvenient, requiring manual handling, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure to provide a fully automatic air spring forming machine, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fully automatic air spring forming machine. It can separate the film lamination process from the wrapping process, effectively improving the efficiency of film lamination. At the same time, a robotic arm can be used to select and grab steel rings of different sizes and complete the automatic steel ring loading operation, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment, reducing the labor intensity of workers in the wrapping operation, improving the efficiency of the wrapping operation, and comprehensively improving the automation level and work efficiency of the air spring forming machine.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0009] An automatic air spring molding machine includes a spindle box with a rotating support fixedly installed on it. One end of the spindle box is equipped with a reverse wrapping frame, and the other end is equipped with an adhesive applicator frame. An automatic adhesive applicator platform is fixedly installed in the middle of the adhesive applicator frame, and a conveyor belt is fixedly installed on the automatic adhesive applicator platform. A feeding rack is fixedly installed at the top of the automatic adhesive applicator platform. From the end near the adhesive applicator frame to the end far from the adhesive applicator frame, an inner adhesive trolley, a first curtain fabric trolley, a second curtain fabric trolley, and an outer adhesive trolley are sequentially arranged on the outer side of the feeding rack.

[0010] Furthermore, an adhesive application spindle is fixedly installed at the end of the spindle box near the adhesive application frame, and an adhesive application drum is fixedly installed on the adhesive application spindle.

[0011] Furthermore, an adhesive applicator roller is fixedly installed in the middle of the adhesive applicator frame.

[0012] Furthermore, an adhesive applicator tailstock is fixedly installed at the far spindle box end of the adhesive applicator frame, and an auxiliary cylinder is fixedly installed on the adhesive applicator tailstock.

[0013] Furthermore, a reverse wrapping spindle is fixedly installed on the reverse wrapping frame end of the spindle box, and a forming drum is fixedly installed on the reverse wrapping spindle.

[0014] Furthermore, a reverse wrapping pressure roller is fixedly installed in the middle of the reverse wrapping frame.

[0015] Furthermore, a reverse wrapping tail frame is fixedly installed at the far spindle box end of the reverse wrapping frame, a steel ring pusher is fixedly installed on the reverse wrapping frame, and a steel ring pushing device is fixedly installed between the steel ring pusher and the spindle box.

[0016] Furthermore, a robotic arm is fixedly installed in the middle of the reverse packaging frame;

[0018] Furthermore, the inner rubber carriage, the first curtain carriage, the second curtain carriage, and the outer rubber carriage are distributed at equal intervals.

[0019] 3. Beneficial effects

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0021] In this solution, the equipment uses a spindle box, a gluing frame, and related structures to complete the gluing process of the film, and a spindle box, a wrapping frame, and related structures to complete the wrapping process. This separates the film gluing process from the wrapping process. When gluing the film, the gluing platform automatically applies the glue instead of manually applying it. The glued film is evenly and densely applied, which effectively improves the efficiency and quality of the film gluing operation.

[0022] During the reverse wrapping process, a robotic arm is used to select large or small steel rings and automatically load them, improving the convenience of loading steel rings at the main shaft of the forming machine. This eliminates the need for additional personnel to perform the loading operation, increasing the automation level of the equipment, reducing the labor intensity of workers in the reverse wrapping process, and improving the efficiency of the reverse wrapping operation. This comprehensively enhances the automation level and work efficiency of the air spring forming machine. Attached Figure Description

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example:

[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3The fully automatic air spring molding machine includes a spindle box 10, a rotating support 9 fixedly installed on the spindle box 10, a reverse wrapping frame 20 at one end of the spindle box 10, and an adhesive applicator frame 3 at the other end of the spindle box 10. An automatic adhesive applicator platform 1 is fixedly installed in the middle of the adhesive applicator frame 3. A conveyor belt 2 is fixedly installed on the automatic adhesive applicator platform 1. A feeding rack 21 is fixedly installed at the top of the automatic adhesive applicator platform 1. From the end near the adhesive applicator frame 3 to the end far from the adhesive applicator frame 3, an inner adhesive trolley 22, a first curtain fabric trolley 23, a second curtain fabric trolley 24, and an outer adhesive trolley 25 are arranged sequentially on the outside of the feeding rack 21.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 Specifically, an adhesive application spindle 8 is fixedly installed at the end of the spindle box 10 near the adhesive application frame 3, and an adhesive application drum 7 is fixedly installed on the adhesive application spindle 8.

[0032] The spindle box 10 controls the rotation of the adhesive application spindle 8, which in turn controls the synchronous rotation of the adhesive application drum 7 to complete the adhesive application operation.

[0033] Specifically, an automatic adhesive application platform 1 and an adhesive application roller 6 are fixedly installed in the middle of the adhesive application machine frame 3.

[0034] A conveyor belt 2 is fixedly installed on the automatic adhesive application platform 1. The conveyor belt 2 sequentially transports the inner adhesive sheet, first curtain fabric, second curtain fabric, and outer adhesive sheet from the feeding rack 21 to the area below the adhesive application drum 7. At the same time, the automatic adhesive application platform 1 drives the conveyor belt 2 to swing, pressing the adhesive sheet or curtain fabric onto the adhesive application drum 7. Simultaneously, the adhesive application drum 7 rotates, automatically completing the application of the adhesive sheet or curtain fabric.

[0035] The support part of the adhesive application roller 6 can be replaced with a hydraulic support rod, thereby ensuring that the height of the adhesive application roller 6 is adjustable and improving the pressing effect of the adhesive application roller 6. During the adhesive application operation, the adhesive application roller 6 swings and presses firmly against the adhesive application drum 7 to ensure that the adhesive sheet is applied evenly and densely.

[0036] Specifically, an adhesive applicator tailstock 4 is fixedly installed at the far spindle box 10 end of the adhesive applicator frame 3, and an auxiliary cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the adhesive applicator tailstock 4.

[0037] The auxiliary cylinder 5 is fixed by the adhesive tail frame 4, and the auxiliary cylinder 5 assists the adhesive drum 7 in completing the adhesive application.

[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 Specifically, a reverse wrapping spindle 11 is fixedly installed at the reverse wrapping frame 20 end of the spindle box 10, and a forming drum 12 is fixedly installed on the reverse wrapping spindle 11.

[0039] The spindle box 10 controls the rotation of the reverse wrapping spindle 11, which in turn controls the rotation of the forming drum 12.

[0040] Specifically, a reverse wrapping pressure roller 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the reverse wrapping frame 20.

[0041] The support part of the reverse wrapping roller 13 can also be replaced with a hydraulic support rod, thereby ensuring that the height of the reverse wrapping roller 13 is adjustable and making the pressing effect of the reverse wrapping roller 13 better.

[0042] Specifically, a reverse wrapping tail frame 15 is fixedly installed at the far spindle box 10 end of the reverse wrapping frame 20, a steel ring pusher 14 is fixedly installed on the reverse wrapping tail frame 15, and a steel ring pushing device 16 is fixedly installed between the steel ring pusher 14 and the spindle box 10.

[0043] When the steel ring is on the steel ring pushing device 16, the steel ring can be pushed by the steel ring pusher 14 to rotate the steel ring.

[0044] Specifically, a robotic arm 19 is fixedly installed in the middle of the reverse packaging frame 20;

[0045] The working part of the robotic arm 19 is located between the steel ring pusher 14 and the steel ring pushing device 16.

[0046] The gripper portion of the robotic arm 19 holds a steel ring, including a small steel ring 17 and a large steel ring 18.

[0047] The robotic arm 19 can grip the small ring from the small steel ring 17 or the large ring from the large steel ring 18, thus allowing the appropriate steel ring to be selected for loading according to the needs of air spring loading.

[0048] See Figure 1 Specifically, the inner rubber trolley 22, the first curtain trolley 23, the second curtain trolley 24, and the outer rubber trolley 25 are distributed at equal intervals.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] This equipment consists of a main spindle box 10, a glue-applying frame 3, and related structures to complete the glue-applying process. Specifically, an automatic glue-applying platform 1 and a glue-applying pressure roller 6 are fixedly installed in the middle of the glue-applying frame 3. A conveyor belt 2 is fixedly installed on the automatic glue-applying platform 1. The conveyor belt 2 sequentially transports the inner glue sheet, first curtain fabric, second curtain fabric, and outer glue sheet from the feeding rack 21 to the area below the glue-applying drum 7. At the same time, the automatic glue-applying platform 1 drives the conveyor belt 2 to swing, pressing the glue sheet or curtain fabric onto the forming drum 12 and pressing the glue-applying drum 7 firmly.

[0051] The support part of the adhesive application roller 6 can be replaced with a hydraulic support rod, thereby ensuring that the height of the adhesive application roller 6 is adjustable and improving the pressing effect of the adhesive application roller 6. During the adhesive application operation, the adhesive application roller 6 swings and presses against the forming drum 12 to ensure that the adhesive sheet is applied evenly and densely.

[0052] The main spindle box 10 controls the rotation of the adhesive application spindle 8, adhesive application drum 7, and auxiliary cylinder 5, which work together with the automatic adhesive application platform 1 and adhesive application roller 6 to press the adhesive sheet and complete the adhesive application operation.

[0053] Then, the spindle box 10, in conjunction with the reverse wrapping frame 20 and its related structures, completes the reverse wrapping process. Specifically, according to the requirements for steel rings in the reverse wrapping process, the robot arm 19 removes the steel ring from the small steel ring 17 or the large steel ring 18, and moves the small steel ring 17 to the steel ring pusher 14, or moves the large steel ring 18 and the steel ring pusher 16. The steel ring pusher 14 and the steel ring pusher 16 complete the steel ring loading operation. Then, the spindle box 10 controls the reverse wrapping spindle 11 and the forming drum 12 to perform the reverse wrapping operation.

[0054] In this way, the entire equipment can be used. This equipment improves the automation level of the equipment, effectively improves the efficiency of film lamination, reduces the labor intensity of workers in the reverse wrapping operation, improves the work efficiency of the reverse wrapping operation, and comprehensively enhances the automation level and work efficiency of the air spring forming machine.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
