Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a water inlet removal device for automobile air intake pipes. Background Technology

[0037] Working principle:
[0038] Place the intake pipe from top to bottom above the first base 34, the second base 32, and the third base 36. Then, insert the left section of the intake pipe into the second positioning cavity 341 on the first base 34, insert the middle section of the intake pipe into the fourth positioning cavity 321 on the second base 32 and the fifth positioning cavity 361 on the third base 36, and insert the right end of the intake pipe into the opening of the U-shaped seat block 312.
[0039] The telescopic ends of the first positioning cylinder 310 and the second positioning cylinder 38 are extended outward to drive the first pressure block 311 and the second pressure block 39 to move downward, thereby pressing the first positioning cavity 3111 on the first pressure block 311 against the upper left section of the air intake pipe, and pressing the third positioning cavity 391 on the second pressure block 39 against the upper middle section of the air intake pipe; at the same time, the telescopic end of the third positioning cylinder 314 is extended outward to drive the U-shaped locking block 313 to move towards the U-shaped seat block 312 until the opening of the U-shaped locking block 313 is pressed against the rear right end of the air intake pipe.
[0040] Next, the telescopic end of the fourth positioning cylinder 324 needs to be driven to extend outward to drive the lifting frame 325 to tilt downward, thereby driving the fifth positioning cylinder 326 and the positioning rod 327 to move synchronously. At the same time, the telescopic end of the fifth positioning cylinder 326 needs to be driven to extend outward to drive the positioning rod 327 to tilt downward, thereby inserting the lower end of the positioning rod 327 into the through hole located at the top of the middle section of the air intake pipe to achieve positioning.
[0041] Then, the telescopic ends of the first cutting cylinder 315 in each first cutting unit are simultaneously driven to extend outwards so that each first cutter 318 can move towards the air intake pipe with the help of each first cutter holder 317, thereby cutting off the water inlets located at the left and right ends of the left section of the air intake pipe and the left end of the middle section of the air intake pipe at the same time; in addition, the telescopic ends of the second cutting cylinder 321 in the second cutting unit are also driven to extend outwards so that the second cutter 322 can move towards the air intake pipe with the help of the second cutter holder 320, thereby cutting off the water inlet located at the right end of the air intake pipe.
[0042] The cut-off waste material will fall into the corresponding collection hopper 4 through any one of the first discharge holes 21 and any one of the second discharge holes 22, and then be discharged outwards through the bottom opening of each collection hopper 4.
[0043] This invention can automatically cut off each water inlet at different positions on the car's air intake pipe in one go, without the need for manual cutting, thus simplifying the operation process and saving a lot of time, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.
