Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated bottom tube processing device, belonging to the field of automated tube processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] There is a bottom tube to be processed, with both ends bent. The tube openings of the bent parts need to be reduced in length, and then punched and tapped after reduction.

[0003] Existing processing methods typically involve performing necking, punching, and tapping on separate equipment. Each processing step requires manual loading and unloading, and each product needs to be positioned individually before processing. After processing, each product must be manually inspected to ensure that all three processes have been completed. This process is inefficient and prone to omissions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an integrated bottom tube processing device. By setting up a necking station, a punching station, a tapping station and a visual inspection station on the same machine, the integrated operation of bottom tube processing is realized, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated bottom tube processing device includes a machine base and a support frame mounted above the machine base. A loading platform is provided on one side of the machine base. A necking station, a punching station, a tapping station, and a vision inspection station are sequentially arranged on the machine base. Multiple synchronously movable robotic arm components for transporting bottom tubes are provided on the support frame. Bottom tube placement slots are provided at the necking station, punching station, tapping station, and vision inspection station. A pressure block assembly for fixing the corresponding bottom tube is provided above the bottom tube placement slots at the necking station, punching station, and tapping station.

[0007] The aforementioned integrated bottom tube processing device is characterized in that: the punching station includes a first support plate that can move up and down relative to the machine platform, a second support plate that can move horizontally relative to the first support plate, a hollow columnar support member that can be inserted into the bottom tube opening on the second support plate, and a punch assembly corresponding to the position of the hollow columnar support member on the second support plate, wherein the surface of the hollow columnar support member opposite to the punch side of the punch assembly is provided with a punching groove.

[0008] The aforementioned integrated bottom tube processing device is characterized in that: a first cylinder assembly for driving the first support plate to move up and down is provided on the machine base, a second cylinder assembly for driving the second support plate to move horizontally is provided on the first support plate, and a waste box is provided below the hollow columnar support member.

[0009] The aforementioned integrated bottom tube processing device is characterized in that: five sets of robotic arm components are equally spaced on the support, each robotic arm component including a gripper, a gripper cylinder and a telescopic cylinder, and pressure plates are fixedly installed on the gripper cylinders of the middle three sets of robotic arm components.

[0010] The aforementioned integrated bottom tube processing device is characterized in that: the five sets of robotic arm components are connected by connecting rods, and one end of the bracket is provided with a servo drive component for driving the movement of the robotic arm components.

[0011] The aforementioned integrated bottom tube processing device is characterized in that: the loading platform includes a platform for placing bottom tubes of different models and a third cylinder assembly for driving the platform to move horizontally, and a photoelectric sensor is also provided on one side of the platform.

[0012] The aforementioned integrated bottom tube processing device is characterized in that: the pressing block assembly is inclined relative to the machine base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the integrated bottom tube processing device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By setting up a necking station, a punching station, a tapping station, and a vision inspection station on the same machine, integrated operation of bottom tube processing is realized, which improves production efficiency;

[0015] 2. By setting a hollow columnar support for insertion into the pipe opening at the punching station, it is ensured that the hollow columnar support can abut against the punching position during the punching process. This not only facilitates punching but also ensures that the pipe opening will not deform during the punching process. Furthermore, the waste generated during punching can be discharged through the through hole inside the hollow columnar support.

[0016] 3. Pressure plates are fixedly installed on the gripper cylinders of the three sets of robot arm components in the middle. Pressure block components for fixing the corresponding bottom tubes are also installed above the bottom tube placement slots at the necking station, punching station and tapping station. Before processing, the pressure plates are first driven down by the telescopic cylinder to complete the initial fixing of the bottom tube to be processed. Then, the pressure block components are controlled to press down to fix the bottom tube to be processed again, ensuring that the bottom tube will not move during the processing and guaranteeing the processing quality.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] This utility model provides an integrated bottom tube processing device, including a machine base 10 and a support 20 disposed above the machine base 10. A loading platform 30 is disposed on one side of the machine base 10. A necking station 11, a punching station 12, a tapping station 13 and a vision inspection station 14 are disposed sequentially on the machine base 10. A plurality of synchronously movable robotic arm assemblies 21 for transporting bottom tubes are disposed on the support 20. Bottom tube placement slots are provided at the necking station 11, punching station 12, tapping station 13 and vision inspection station 14. A pressure block assembly 40 for fixing the corresponding bottom tube is disposed above the bottom tube placement slots at the necking station 11, punching station 12 and tapping station 13.

[0027] The bottom tube to be processed is placed on the loading table 30 by manual labor or a front-end robotic arm. The robotic arm assembly 21 then sequentially places the bottom tube into the necking station 11, the punching station 12, the tapping station 13, and the visual inspection station 14, thereby completing the necking, punching, tapping of the punched part, and visual inspection of the processing results of the above processes.

[0028] Specifically, five sets of robotic arm components 21 are evenly spaced on the support 20. Each robotic arm component 21 includes a gripper 213, a gripper cylinder 212, and a telescopic cylinder 211. The loading platform 30 includes a platform 31 for placing different types of bottom tubes and a third cylinder assembly 32 for driving the platform 31 to move horizontally. A photoelectric sensor 33 is also provided on one side of the platform 31. The platform 31 is provided with multiple arc-shaped slots, which can be placed into the corresponding arc-shaped slots according to the different types of bottom tubes. The platform 31 is moved under the gripper 213 by the third cylinder assembly 32. The gripper 213 clamps the bottom tube and places it at the tapering station 11. Then, the tapering assembly at the tapering station 11 completes the tapering process of the bottom tube opening. This tapering process uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive the tapering tube to be gradually inserted into the bottom tube opening to complete the tapering. This process and the components are conventional methods and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that multiple tapering tubes are provided at tapering station 11 to meet the different processing positions of different models of bottom tubes.

[0029] After the bottom is narrowed, it is transferred to the punching station by the gripper 213, and at the same time the next bottom tube to be processed is placed into the narrowing station.

[0030] In this embodiment, the punching station 12 includes a first support plate 121 that can move vertically relative to the machine base 10. A second support plate 122 that can move horizontally relative to the first support plate 121 is provided. A hollow columnar support member 124 that can be inserted into the bottom tube opening is provided on the second support plate 122. A punch assembly 123 corresponding to the position of the hollow columnar support member 124 is also provided on the second support plate 122. A punching groove 1241 is provided on the punch side surface of the hollow columnar support member 124 opposite to the punch assembly 123. A first cylinder assembly 127 for driving the first support plate 121 to move vertically is provided on the machine base 10. A second cylinder assembly 126 for driving the second support plate 122 to move horizontally is provided on the first support plate 121. A waste box 125 is provided below the hollow columnar support member 124.

[0031] According to the punching position of different models of bottom tubes, the second cylinder assembly 126 drives the second support plate 122 to move horizontally to the corresponding position, and then the first cylinder assembly 127 drives the first support plate 121 to move to the required position. During the upward movement, the hollow columnar support 124 is inserted into the tube opening and adheres to the inner wall of the tube opening, and the punching groove 1241 is exactly at the punching position. Then, the punch assembly 123 moves to the corresponding tube opening and completes the punching. The waste generated by punching enters the waste box 125 from the middle through hole of the hollow columnar support 124, thus completing the collection of waste.

[0032] After punching is completed, the first support plate 121 is moved downwards to remove the hollow columnar support 124 from the tube opening. Then, the second support plate 122 is reset, and the bottom tube is clamped to the tapping station by the gripper 213. At the tapping station, two sets of tapping components in different directions are moved towards the punching direction by servo control to complete the tapping of the punched part. The processes and components used in the tapping process are all existing conventional methods and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] After tapping, the bottom tube is transferred to the vision inspection station via gripper 213. The light source and high-definition camera set below complete the image acquisition, and the image processing system detects whether the bottom tube has completed all the processes of necking, punching and tapping. Then, the products that have completed the inspection are classified and collected according to the inspection results via gripper 213.

[0034] In this embodiment, pressure plates 214 are fixedly installed on the gripper cylinders 212 of the three middle sets of robotic arm components 21 out of the five sets of robotic arm components 21. The pressure block components 40 are inclined relative to the machine base 10. During the processes of necking, punching, and tapping, the pressure plates 214 are used to initially fix the bottom tube, and then the inclined pressure block components 40 located at both ends of the tube are used to completely fix the bottom tube, so that it will not move during processing. It should be noted that in this embodiment, contouring platforms for placing the bottom tube are provided on the machine base 10 at the necking station 11, punching station 12, tapping station 13, and vision inspection station 14, and the bottom surface of the pressure block components 40 is also contouring. After the pressure block is pressed with the contouring platform, it can completely wrap the bottom tube, ensuring the stability of the fixation.

[0035] The five sets of robotic arm components 21 are connected by a connecting rod 23. One end of the bracket 20 is provided with a servo drive component 22 for driving the movement of the robotic arm components 21. By controlling the synchronous transfer of the five sets of robotic arm components 21, the assembly line operation of the bottom tube processing is realized, which greatly improves the processing efficiency.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
