Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic plug installation technology, and in particular to an alignment mechanism for assembling plastic plugs. Background Technology
[0002] A plug, also known as a pipe cap, end cap, pipe cover, or end cap, is a pipe fitting that is installed on the external thread of a pipe to seal it off. It serves the same purpose as a pipe plug and can be screwed directly onto the pipe without the need for other fittings. Plugs include designs such as convex plugs, conical shells, reducing sections, flat caps, and tightening ends.
[0003] Existing plastic plugs have some shortcomings in their assembly with target sleeves. Traditionally, the target sleeve is mostly assembled at a straight angle to match the position of the plastic plug. However, there is often an angular deviation between the target sleeve and the plastic plug at one end. Traditional methods of using a cylinder to move the plastic plug and assemble it with the target sleeve are prone to deviations and difficult to achieve precise assembly, affecting the assembly accuracy of the plastic plug and target sleeve and causing problems such as incomplete assembly. This reduces the applicability of the alignment mechanism and limits its use. To address these issues, an improved and upgraded alignment mechanism for plastic plug assembly is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an alignment mechanism for assembling plastic plugs, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the following technical solution is provided: an alignment mechanism for assembling plastic plugs, including a worktable, a control panel fixedly installed on the outer wall of the worktable and a data feedback display screen fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the worktable, a positioning structure fixedly installed on the upper end of the worktable, and an adjustment structure installed inside the positioning structure on the upper end of the worktable, the adjustment structure including a positioning frame fixedly installed on the upper end of the worktable, a positioning rod passing through the inside of the positioning frame and the outer wall of the positioning rod passing through the inside of the mounting frame, a mounting cover fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting frame, a target sleeve placed between the mounting frame and the mounting cover, and adjustment grooves opened on both sides of the inner wall of the positioning frame, the target sleeve being adapted to the size of the plug body set above the positioning structure.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each of the two adjustment slots is provided with a second threaded rod, and limit holes are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting bracket. One end of each of the two second threaded rods passes through the adjustment slot and the extended end is connected to the limit hole. One end of the second threaded rod is engaged with the adjustment slot.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the mounting bracket and the positioning bracket are adapted to each other in size. Positioning holes are provided at the four corners of the upper end of the mounting bracket. The four corners inside the mounting cover are threaded with first threaded rods, and the extension ends of the first threaded rods are connected to the positioning holes.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a rubber pad is fixedly provided on the inner wall of one end of the target sleeve, and the inner diameter of the target sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the plug body.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the positioning structure includes two guide rails fixedly installed on the upper part of the workbench, and a movable cylinder is provided between the two guide rails. Guide sliders are slidably connected to the upper ends of the two guide rails, and support plates are fixedly provided on the upper ends of the two guide sliders.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a limiting cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate, the moving cylinder is fixedly connected to the limiting cylinder, and two opposing placement frames are fixedly installed at the upper end of the support plate. Electric push rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the two placement frames, and anti-slip clamps are fixedly installed at one end of each electric push rod. The plug body is arranged between the two sets of anti-slip clamps.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model device includes components such as a positioning frame, a mounting frame, a mounting cover, a second threaded rod, a positioning rod, and an adjusting groove. By rotating the two second threaded rods off the positioning frame and then rotating the mounting frame around the positioning rod as the axis to a certain angle, the two second threaded rods are moved along the direction of the adjusting groove. Finally, the second threaded rods are tightened and fixed to the mounting frame. This facilitates fine-tuning of the angle of the target sleeve, which is beneficial for precise alignment and assembly with the plastic plug. It avoids problems such as misalignment of the target sleeve and plug caused by positional deviation, and improves the applicability of the alignment structure.
[0013] 2. The device of this utility model is equipped with components such as a moving cylinder, a guide slider, a guide rail, a support plate, a placement frame, and an electric push rod. The moving cylinder drives the support plate on the limiting cylinder to move. At the same time, the moving plate moves along the guide rail on the two guide sliders, which facilitates the relative stability when moving the plastic plug. Meanwhile, the two sets of electric push rods drive the anti-slip clamps to move relative to each other to position and fix the plastic plug, which facilitates the relatively accurate assembly of the plastic plug with the target sleeve.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an alignment mechanism for assembling plastic plugs, including a workbench 1. A control panel 2 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the workbench 1, and a data feedback display screen 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the workbench 1. A positioning structure 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the workbench 1, and an adjustment structure 5 is installed inside the positioning structure 6 on the upper end of the workbench 1. The adjustment structure 5 includes a positioning frame 51 fixedly installed on the upper end of the workbench 1. A positioning rod 55 passes through the inside of the positioning frame 51, and the outer wall of the positioning rod 55 passes through the inside of the mounting frame 52. A mounting cover 53 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting frame 52. A target sleeve 4 is placed between the mounting frame 52 and the mounting cover 53. Adjustment grooves 56 are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the positioning frame 51. The target sleeve 4 is adapted to the size of the plug body 7 set above the positioning structure 6.
[0023] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, each of the two adjustment slots 56 is provided with a second threaded rod 57. Limiting holes 58 are opened on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting bracket 52. One end of each of the two second threaded rods 57 passes through the adjustment slot 56 and the extended end is connected to the limiting hole 58. One end of the second threaded rod 57 is snapped into the adjustment slot 56. The mounting bracket 52 is adapted to the size of the positioning bracket 51. Positioning holes 59 are opened at the four corners of the upper end of the mounting bracket 52. The four corners of the inner side of the mounting cover 53 are threaded with a first threaded rod 54, and the extended end of the first threaded rod 54 is connected to the positioning hole 59. A rubber pad 41 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of one end of the target sleeve 4. The inner diameter of the target sleeve 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the plug body 7.
[0024] By setting four first threaded rods 54 inside the mounting cover 53, it is convenient to disassemble and replace the mounting cover 53 with a matching size when installing a target sleeve 4 with a larger diameter. The adjustment groove 56 is set so that the mounting frame 52 can rotate around the positioning rod 55 as the axis to finely adjust the angle of the target sleeve 4, so as to make the plastic plug and the target sleeve 4 accurately aligned and assembled.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning structure 6 includes two guide rails 62 fixedly installed on the upper end of the workbench 1, and a moving cylinder 61 is provided between the two guide rails 62. Guide sliders 63 are slidably connected to the upper ends of the two guide rails 62, and support plates 65 are fixedly provided on the upper ends of the two guide sliders 63. Limiting cylinders 64 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the support plates 65. The moving cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the limiting cylinders 64. Two opposing placement racks 66 are fixedly provided on the upper end of the support plates 65. Electric push rods 67 are symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the two placement racks 66, and anti-slip clamps 68 are fixedly provided at one end of each electric push rod 67. The plug body 7 is located between the two sets of anti-slip clamps 68.
[0026] By setting two sets of electric push rods 67 to drive the anti-slip clamps 68 to move relative to each other, the plug can be installed stably, which facilitates relatively accurate assembly with the target sleeve 4. At the same time, the guide slider 63 and guide rail 62 cooperate with each other to facilitate relatively stable movement of the plastic plug.
[0027] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: First, the operator fixes the target sleeve 4 inside the mounting bracket 52 and mounting cover 53 with bolts. At the same time, the plastic plug is placed on two placement brackets 66. The two sets of electric push rods 67 are driven to move the anti-slip clamps 68 relative to each other to limit and fix the plug body 7. After the preliminary work is completed, the external power supply is connected. The moving cylinder 61 is driven to move the support plate 65 on the limiting cylinder 64 horizontally. The support plate 65 moves stably along the guide rail 62 with the two guide sliders 63, which causes the plastic plug to move stably in the horizontal direction and be precisely aligned with the target sleeve 4. When one end of the plastic plug is pressed and connected with the target sleeve 4, the rubber pad 41 helps to push the plug body 7 to move. To compensate for minor positional deviations in the assembly, the target sleeve 4 and the plastic plug can be precisely and stably assembled. When the angular deviation between the target sleeve 4 and the plastic plug is large, the operator rotates the two second threaded rods 57 to separate them from the positioning frame 51, then stops rotating the second threaded rods 57. The operator then calculates the movement distance data reflected on the data feedback display screen 3, and drives the mounting frame 52 to rotate along the positioning rod 55 as the axis to a certain angle. At the same time, the two second threaded rods 57 move along the direction of the adjustment groove 56. When the appropriate position is reached, the two second threaded rods 57 are tightened to limit and fix the mounting frame 52, which makes it easier to reduce the error when assembling the plastic plug and the target sleeve 4, and achieve precise alignment assembly.
