AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing locking plate and hose docking assembly relies on manual operation, which is inefficient and inconsistent. The hose material is soft and difficult to position accurately. Traditional mechanical clamps cannot achieve orderly feeding of the locking plate, and the inconvenience of fixing the hose leads to maintenance difficulties.

Method used

A rapid automated docking device including a feeding mechanism and a reversing mechanism was designed. Utilizing components such as a circular vibrating feeder, a linear vibrating feeder, a guiding assembly, a reversing mechanism, and photoelectric sensors, it achieves automated docking and orderly feeding of the locking plate and the hose. Through the cooperation of the guiding plate, the air blowing seat, and the sliding plate, it ensures that the locking plate is accurately guided into the hose, and the hose replacement is simplified by the detachable tube seat structure.

Benefits of technology

It enables rapid and automated docking of the locking plate and the hose, improves feeding efficiency and consistency, simplifies the disassembly and maintenance of the hose, reduces the difficulty of manual operation, and enhances the compatibility and maintenance efficiency of the device.

Abstract

This utility model provides a rapid automated docking device for locking plates and flexible hoses, including a feeding mechanism and a reversing mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a circular vibratory feeder and a linear vibratory feeder connected to the circular vibratory feeder. The outer end of the linear vibratory feeder is provided with a guiding assembly that sequentially guides the locking plates into the first flexible hoses. The reversing mechanism includes a bracket and insert seats installed at corresponding positions on the bracket. Two sets of first flexible hoses are installed side by side on the insert seats to guide the two ends of the locking plates respectively. The guiding assembly sequentially guides the locking plates into the first flexible hoses and then through the first flexible hoses to the reversing mechanism. The reversing mechanism controls the reciprocating movement of a sliding plate by a drive cylinder, which allows the second flexible hose to dock with the corresponding first flexible hose, thereby switching the docking of the locking plates in the two sets of first flexible hoses.
