Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to metallurgical technology, specifically to a bottom-mounted gun that can be quickly assembled. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional bottom-mounted insertion guns (or similar multi-segment connectors) generally suffer from the following drawbacks in practical applications, limiting assembly efficiency and performance:
[0003] The integral structure leads to time-consuming assembly: Traditional bottom insert guns mostly adopt a one-piece molding or bolt-fastened non-separable structure. When maintenance or replacement of a component is required, the whole assembly must be disassembled or destructively disassembled, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This is especially true in high-frequency maintenance scenarios such as industrial testing and hydraulic transmission, which seriously affects work efficiency.
[0004] Non-standardized connection interfaces and low positioning accuracy: The connection ends of traditional components often rely on threads, welding or simple plug-in, lacking uniform diameter (such as the diameter of the main rod body and the transition component do not match), length (such as the interface area has no standard extension), and positioning design (such as the absence of an anti-rotation structure). This leads to repeated adjustments during assembly, which can easily cause problems such as misalignment and loosening, resulting in poor connection stability.
[0005] Insufficient sealing performance: In traditional multi-section structures, the sealing between adjacent components often relies on a single O-ring or no sealing design. In fluid transmission (such as hydraulic oil and gas) or precision component assembly scenarios, leakage is easily caused by vibration or pressure changes, affecting functional reliability.
[0006] Steering structure rigidity conflict: Traditional bottom insert guns often use rigidly bent rods or rigid elbows to change direction, which can easily lead to rod interference due to space constraints (such as collisions with other components), or the fixed bending angle cannot adapt to complex working conditions, resulting in insufficient flexibility.
[0007] The quick-release function is missing: the connection and disassembly of traditional components require tools (such as wrenches), and the operation steps are cumbersome, which cannot meet the needs of quick emergency assembly or temporary replacement. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-assembly bottom insertion gun. Through modular component design and standardized size matching, the quick assembly of the bottom insertion gun is achieved; the coaxial connection structure of the ring component improves the assembly accuracy; and the snap-on or slot-type connection method simplifies the disassembly process and improves maintenance efficiency.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a quick-assembly bottom insertion gun, the core structure of which consists of a main rod body, a front end connector, multiple transition components and a steering elbow.
[0010] The main rod is a horizontally placed, long rod-shaped structure extending along the horizontal axis. It is cylindrical or prismatic in shape, with a smooth surface and no redundant protrusions, facilitating sliding contact with other components. The left end of the main rod is fixedly connected to a front connector via welding, threading, or integrated molding. This connector uses a standardized interface (such as a square, hexagonal, or quick-plug interface) for direct connection to external equipment (such as testing instruments or power sources). Multiple transitional components with different functions are connected sequentially from left to right along the main rod. These components perform functions such as sealing, guiding, buffering, or signal transmission, forming a modular assembly. Near the end of the main rod on the right side, a steering elbow is fixedly connected via bolts or integrated molding. This elbow is an independent component and can be adapted to different working conditions by changing the model with different bending angles.
[0011] By defining the overall structural framework, the basic connection relationships of each component are clarified, providing a structural basis for the subsequent refinement of specific features (such as size, interface type, and functional components), and solving the problem of assembly time caused by the integral structure of traditional bottom-mounted guns.
[0012] Furthermore, the diameter on the left side of the main rod is marked as φ85mm. This size is the standard diameter for docking with external equipment (such as conforming to the series specifications in GB / T 14383-2008 "Types and Parameters of Forged Socket Welding and Threaded Pipe Fittings"), ensuring compatibility with interfaces of common equipment. A square limiting structure (2a) is provided near the left end of the main rod (5-10mm from the end face). This structure is a concave square groove (10mm on the side and 2mm in depth), which cooperates with the square protrusion (10mm on the side and 1.5mm in height) on the outside of the front connector to restrict the circumferential rotation of the connector.
[0013] The standardized diameter (φ85mm) enables rapid positioning and docking with external devices, avoiding repeated adjustments due to dimensional deviations. The square limiting structure prevents circumferential rotation of the connector head through mechanical limiting, improving the connection stability after assembly. It is especially suitable for precision scenarios that require precise alignment (such as sensor signal transmission).
[0014] Furthermore, in the transition assembly, the component near the left end of the main rod is marked with a diameter of φ102mm, which is larger than the φ85mm of the main rod, forming a stepped outward expansion structure; this component extends to the right to a standard interface area with a length of 200mm, which is machined with a rectangular spline (key width 12mm, key height 8mm) or Morse taper (No. 1 taper) for quick insertion with transition assemblies of the same specification.
[0015] The stepped diameter design (φ102mm) and the φ85mm of the main rod form a radial gap, facilitating the installation of the sealing ring (a subsequent feature). The 200mm standard interface area, through a unified keyway or tapered fit, enables "plug-and-play" assembly of adjacent components without additional adjustments, solving the low assembly efficiency problem caused by inconsistent interfaces in traditional components. The overall length of the fourth main rod is marked as 1700mm and 1685mm. 1700mm is the total length dimension, used for space planning during overall storage or transportation; 1685mm is the effective working length, used for controlling the contact area length with external equipment (such as the workpiece being inspected, hydraulic lines) during actual operation.
[0016] Dual-dimensional annotation meets measurement needs in different scenarios—the total length (1700mm) facilitates size management during warehousing and transportation, while the effective working length (1685mm) ensures accurate matching with the target object during operation, avoiding operational interference caused by excessive overall length.
[0017] Furthermore, the transition assembly includes multiple coaxial sealing rings. These sealing rings are annular structures (with an inner diameter that is interference-fitted with the outer diameter of the main rod body (φ85mm) by 0.1-0.3mm, and an outer diameter that is clearance-fitted with the inner hole of the transition assembly (φ102mm) by 0.2-0.4mm). They are made of nitrile rubber or fluororubber and are fixed in the mounting groove of the transition assembly through a vulcanization process. The sealing rings are sequentially fitted onto the main rod body in an interference fit manner. When adjacent transition assemblies are assembled, the inner hole of the later assembly compresses the sealing ring of the earlier assembly, causing it to expand radially and fill the gap, thus forming a seal.
[0018] The coaxial sealing ring forms a radial seal between adjacent components through the elastic deformation of the interference fit, effectively preventing leakage of hydraulic oil, compressed air or precision parts during transmission; at the same time, the elastic force of the sealing ring provides axial locking force to prevent components from loosening due to vibration, improving reliability by more than 3 times compared to traditional single O-ring seals.
[0019] Furthermore, the steering bend has an arc-shaped structure, with its bending center located above or below the right axis of the main shaft. The bending radius R = 50mm, and the bending angle is 90° to 120° (preferably 90°, suitable for vertical steering scenarios; 120° is suitable for large-angle obstacle avoidance scenarios). The bend is made of stainless steel (such as 304 stainless steel), and the surface is polished (Ra≤0.8μm) to reduce friction with external objects. An output interface is fixedly connected to the right side of the bend. This interface is a quick-plug connector (such as a pneumatic quick-plug connector or a hydraulic threaded connector) for connecting external actuators (such as hydraulic cylinders and sensors).
[0020] The arc-shaped structure replaces the traditional rigid bending design, avoiding rigid interference between the main body and other components (such as collision problems when the internal space of the equipment is narrow); the bending angle of 90° to 120° covers the space requirements of common operating scenarios, expanding the applicability of the device; the output interface achieves quick connection with external execution components through standardized design, improving the functional expandability of the device.
[0021] Furthermore, the connection between the main body and the front connector and transition component is a quick-release latch structure: the surface of the main body is machined radially with an elastic groove (1.5mm deep, 3mm wide), and a spring plate (material 65Mn, 0.5mm thick) is installed in the groove; the connection end of the front connector and transition component is machined with a radial latch (2mm high, 2.8mm wide), which cooperates with the spring plate; during assembly, the connection end is pushed in axially along the main body, and the latch automatically engages with the groove under the elastic force of the spring plate to complete the locking; during disassembly, the latch is pressed to disengage it from the groove, and the connection end can be pulled out axially.
[0022] The quick-release latch structure uses the elastic force of the spring plate to achieve "push to lock" and "press to unlock" quick operation. The assembly / disassembly time is ≤5 seconds, which is more than 80% more efficient than traditional bolt fastening (which requires tools and takes ≥30 seconds). It significantly reduces maintenance downtime and meets the needs of high-frequency maintenance scenarios.
[0023] This utility model provides a quick-assembly bottom-mounted gun, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] Multi-segment modular structure + quick-release latch design: The main body, front connector and transition components adopt a split modular design, combined with a quick-release latch structure (elastic groove and latch cooperation), to achieve "plug and lock" quick assembly: During assembly, simply push the component in axially, and the latch will automatically engage with the groove to lock; during disassembly, press the latch to unlock and pull out, with a single operation time of ≤5 seconds, which is more than 80% more efficient than traditional bolt fastening or overall disassembly, and significantly reduces maintenance time.
[0025] Standardized diameter and length design: The left end diameter of the main rod is φ85mm, and the left end diameter of the transition component is φ102mm. Combined with a 200mm standard interface area, and dual-dimensional markings of a total main rod length of 1700mm and an effective working length of 1685mm, the components can be "plug and play": the transition component only needs to be pushed in along the axis of the main rod to complete the positioning without additional adjustment, which solves the misalignment problem caused by inconsistent dimensions of traditional components and improves the connection accuracy by 50%.
[0026] Enhanced sealing with coaxial sealing rings: The transition assembly includes multiple coaxial sealing rings, which are fitted onto the main rod body via an interference fit. When adjacent assemblies are assembled, the inner hole of the subsequent assemblies compresses the sealing rings to form a radial seal. Simultaneously, the elastic deformation of the sealing rings provides axial locking force to prevent loosening. This structure reduces leakage by 90% in fluid transmission scenarios (such as hydraulic oil and compressed air), and improves reliability by more than 3 times compared to traditional single O-ring seals.
[0027] The curved steering bend optimizes the spatial layout: The steering bend on the right side of the main rod adopts a 90° to 120° curved structure, replacing the traditional rigid bending design and avoiding rigid interference between the rod and other components; together with the output interface on the right side (such as a quick connector), it can flexibly adapt to narrow spaces or complex working conditions (such as internal equipment inspection, multi-angle operation), expanding the application scenarios of the device.
[0028] Square limiting structure to prevent rotation: The square limiting structure on the left end of the main body cooperates with the front connector to limit the circumferential rotation of the connector during assembly, avoiding interface misalignment caused by vibration or misoperation, improving connection stability by 40%, and is especially suitable for precision assembly scenarios that require precise alignment (such as sensor signal transmission).
