Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioner production equipment, specifically to an automatic copper pipe handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the air conditioner manufacturing process, copper pipes are a key component connecting the two components (usually the evaporator and the condenser). In the existing technology, the bent copper pipes need to be manually handled and transferred: first, the bending machine operator picks up the copper pipes and puts them into a tooling cart, then the pipe threading worker pulls the tooling cart to the pipe threading station, and finally the pipe threading worker takes the copper pipes out of the tooling cart one by one and places them on the pipe threading workbench for use. This operation mode has the problems of repetitive manual handling, high labor intensity and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic copper tube handling device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An automatic copper tube handling device includes a support frame and a material handling tray. The support frame has a pushing assembly inside, a collecting assembly on its left side, and a lifting and rotating clamping assembly on its left side as well. The material handling tray is located on the left side of the support frame. The pushing assembly includes a pushing plate and a mechanical rodless cylinder. The pushing plate is located above the support frame, and the moving end of the mechanical rodless cylinder is fixed to the right side of the pushing plate. The collecting assembly includes a collecting groove located below the top of the support frame. The lifting and rotating clamping assembly includes a lifting cylinder, a connecting rod, pneumatic grippers, and a supporting cylinder. The top of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod. There are two pneumatic grippers, both fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod. Two guide grooves are formed on the outer side of the supporting cylinder, and the connecting rod passes through the two guide grooves.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the pushing assembly also includes three support plates, all of which are fixedly installed inside the support frame, and the bottom of the mechanical rodless cylinder is fixed to the three support plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the pushing assembly also includes a connecting plate, which is fixed to the top of the moving end of the mechanical rodless cylinder and fixed to the rear side of the pushing plate by fasteners.

[0009] Furthermore, the collection assembly also includes two support legs, both of which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection trough.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting and rotating gripping assembly also includes a pneumatic control box.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0012] The bent copper tubes are transported to the support frame. Under the action of the mechanical rodless cylinder and the pusher plate, the copper tubes on the support frame are moved and fall into the collection tank. Then, the copper tubes in the collection tank can be gripped by pneumatic grippers. Under the action of the lifting cylinder and the guide groove, the pneumatic grippers carry the copper tubes to the top of the picking plate. Then, the pneumatic grippers release the restriction, thus completing the handling of the copper tubes. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides an automatic copper tube handling device, including a support frame 1 and a material handling tray 5. A pushing assembly 2 is installed inside the support frame 1, a collecting assembly 3 is installed on the left side of the support frame 1, and a lifting and rotating clamping assembly 4 is installed on the left side of the support frame 1. The material handling tray 5 is located on the left side of the support frame 1. The pushing assembly 2 includes a pushing plate 201 and a mechanical rodless cylinder 202. The pushing plate 201 is located above the support frame 1, with its bottom sliding on the top of the support frame 1. The moving end of the mechanical rodless cylinder 202 is in contact with the pushing plate. The right side of plate 201 is fixed. The collection assembly 3 includes a collection groove 301, which is located below the top of the support frame 1. The lifting and rotating clamping assembly 4 includes a lifting cylinder 401, a connecting rod 402, a pneumatic gripper 403, and a supporting cylinder 404. The top of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 401 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod 402. There are two pneumatic grippers 403, both of which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 402. Two guide grooves 405 are opened on the outer side of the supporting cylinder 404, and the connecting rod 402 passes through the two guide grooves 405.

[0021] The bent copper tube falls above the support frame 1. The moving end of the mechanical rodless cylinder 202 drives the pusher plate 201 to move, thereby pushing the copper tube above the support frame 1 and causing it to fall into the collection tank 301. The lifting cylinder 401 starts to work. The connecting rod 402 and the pneumatic gripper 403 rotate and descend along the guide groove 405 under the drive of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 401. After descending to the bottom, the pneumatic gripper 403 closes to grip the copper tube. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 401 rises, and the pneumatic gripper 403 rotates and rises along the guide groove 405 under the drive of the lifting cylinder 401. After reaching the bottom, the pneumatic gripper 403 opens to release the copper tube. (The lifting cylinder 401 is a single-guide rod cylinder. The piston rod of a single-guide rod cylinder can rotate freely around the axis in the cylinder body. Therefore, under the action of the guide groove 405, the lifting and rotation action is completed. This is a well-known technical means in the art, so it will not be described in detail.)

[0022] Preferably, the pushing assembly 2 further includes three support plates 203, all of which are fixedly installed inside the support frame 1, and the bottom of the mechanical rodless cylinder 202 is fixed to the three support plates 203.

[0023] This configuration, with the support of the three support plates 203, enhances the support effect on the mechanical rodless cylinder 202, ensuring safety during long-term use.

[0024] Preferably, the pusher assembly 2 further includes a connecting plate 204, which is fixed to the top of the moving end of the mechanical rodless cylinder 202 and is fixed to the rear side of the pusher plate 201 by fasteners.

[0025] With this configuration, the connecting plate 204 is fixed by fasteners, which allows the connection between the pusher plate 201 and the mechanical rodless cylinder 202 to be released through the connecting plate 204, thus facilitating later maintenance.

[0026] Preferably, the collection component 3 further includes two support legs 302, both of which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection trough 301.

[0027] This configuration raises the collection tank 301, causing the front and rear ends of the copper tube entering the collection tank 301 to be suspended in the air, thus facilitating the pneumatic gripper 403 to clamp the copper tube.

[0028] Preferably, the lifting and rotating gripping assembly 4 also includes a pneumatic control box 406.

[0029] With this setup, the lifting cylinder 401 and the pneumatic gripper 403 are controlled by the pneumatic control box 406. The installation of the connecting air pipe is a well-known technique in the art, so it is not shown in the figure.
