Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of nylon tube processing equipment, and in particular to an automatic assembly mechanism for automotive nylon tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive nylon tubing is a type of tubing widely used in automobile manufacturing. Its main component is nylon resin. In the automotive fuel system, automotive nylon tubing is responsible for transporting fuel, and its oil resistance and sealing performance are crucial. In the braking system, it transmits brake fluid pressure to ensure reliable braking.

[0003] When nylon tubing is installed on a vehicle, it serves to connect two devices and transport liquids. Both ends of the nylon tubing need to be pre-assembled with connectors before installation on the corresponding devices. However, manual assembly is inefficient, and with the rapid development of the automotive industry, manual assembly can no longer meet the ever-increasing production demands. Manual operation is not only slow, but repetitive assembly work can also lead to fatigue, resulting in decreased assembly accuracy and affecting the connection quality between the nylon tubing and the connectors. Furthermore, some existing semi-automatic or automated assembly equipment has a complex structure, and because connectors are required at both ends of the nylon tubing, it cannot achieve rapid reorientation of the nylon tubing, thus preventing further improvement in overall processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic assembly mechanism for automotive nylon tubes, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An automatic assembly mechanism for automotive nylon tubing includes a worktable. A connector clamping mechanism is fixedly mounted on the worktable. A lead screw linear platform is fixedly mounted on one side of the connector clamping mechanism. A slide is movably mounted on the lead screw linear platform. A motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the worktable and is electrically connected to a main controller inside the worktable via a connecting cable. A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the slide and extends to the side of the slide opposite to the motor. A sleeve is inserted into the side of the slide opposite to the motor. A cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the slide and is connected to an air pump inside the worktable via an air pipe.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, an internally threaded sleeve block is fixedly installed at the lower end of the slide table, and multiple limiting wheels are rotatably installed on the slide tables located on both sides of the internally threaded sleeve block. The internally threaded sleeve block is threadedly connected to the lead screw in the linear platform of the lead screw, and the outer side of the limiting wheel abuts against one side of the linear platform of the lead screw. The cooperation between the linear platform of the lead screw and the slide table can provide conditions for horizontal radial movement of the motor, rotating shaft, sleeve, and cylinder.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning groove is provided on the rotating shaft, a rotating groove is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft near the positioning groove, and a first clamping plate is movably installed on the rotating shaft located at the rotating groove.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first clamping plate has a shaft hole, and a fixing ring is fixedly installed inside the shaft hole. The first clamping plate is rotatably installed at one end of the rotating shaft through the shaft hole, and the inner side of the fixing ring is rotatably connected in the rotating groove. The arrangement of the motor, the rotating shaft, and the first clamping plate enables the rapid reorientation operation of the nylon tube with the mounting joint.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting groove is provided at the middle of the lower end of the first clamping plate.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second clamping plate is fixedly installed at one end of the sleeve relative to the first clamping plate, and a connecting rod is also fixedly installed on the sleeve located below the second clamping plate. One end of the connecting rod is inserted into the connecting groove. After the connecting rod is inserted into the connecting groove, the rotating shaft can drive the sleeve to rotate synchronously through the first clamping plate, so that the first clamping plate and the shaft hole clamp the nylon tube and rotate. A slope block is fixedly installed on the outside of the sleeve.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output end of the cylinder extends through the slide table and is fixedly installed with a pressure block. The lower slope of the pressure block abuts against the slope block. The cooperation between the cylinder, the pressure block, and the slope block allows the sleeve to move towards the first clamping plate, thereby realizing the function of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate clamping the nylon pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In this invention, a slide is movably installed on a lead screw linear platform, and a motor and a cylinder are respectively set on the outside of the slide. This allows the first and second clamping plates to quickly clamp the pipe in conjunction with the rotating shaft at the output end of the motor, the sleeve inside the slide, and the pressure block at the output end of the cylinder. At the same time, the motor can quickly adjust the direction of the pipe processing end through the rotating shaft in conjunction with the first and second clamping plates, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the joints at both ends of the nylon pipe.

[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 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic assembly mechanism for automotive nylon tubes, including a workbench 1, a connector clamping mechanism 2 fixedly installed on the workbench 1, a lead screw linear platform 3 fixedly installed on one side of the connector clamping mechanism 2, a slide 4 movably installed on the lead screw linear platform 3, a motor 5 fixedly installed on one side of the workbench 1, and the motor 5 is electrically connected to the main controller inside the workbench 1 through a connecting cable, a rotating shaft 6 fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 5, one end of the rotating shaft 6 passing through the slide 4 and extending to the side of the slide 4 opposite to the motor 5, a sleeve 7 inserted on the side of the slide 4 opposite to the motor 5, and a cylinder 8 fixedly installed at the upper end of the slide 4, and the cylinder 8 is connected to the air pump inside the workbench 1 through an air pipe.

[0023] like Figures 2-3 As shown, an internal threaded sleeve 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the slide table 4. Multiple limit wheels 10 are rotatably installed on both sides of the slide table 4 located on the internal threaded sleeve 9. The internal threaded sleeve 9 is threadedly connected to the lead screw in the lead screw linear platform 3, and the outer side of the limit wheel 10 abuts against one side of the lead screw linear platform 3. The cooperation between the lead screw linear platform 3 and the slide table 4 can provide conditions for horizontal radial movement of the motor 5, the rotating shaft 6, the sleeve 7, and the cylinder 8.

[0024] like Figures 2-5As shown, a positioning groove 11 is provided on the rotating shaft 6, and a rotating groove 12 is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 6 near the positioning groove 11. A first clamping plate 13 is movably installed on the rotating shaft 6 located at the rotating groove 12. A shaft hole 14 is provided in the first clamping plate 13, and a fixing ring 15 is fixedly installed inside the shaft hole 14. The first clamping plate 13 is rotatably installed on one end of the rotating shaft 6 through the shaft hole 14, and the inner side of the fixing ring 15 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 12. The arrangement of the motor 5, the rotating shaft 6, and the first clamping plate 13 enables a quick adjustment operation of the nylon tube for the installation joint. A connecting groove 19 is provided at the lower middle position of the first clamping plate 13. A second clamping plate 20 is fixedly installed on one end of the sleeve 7 relative to the first clamping plate 13, and located below the second clamping plate 20. A connecting rod 18 is also fixedly installed on the sleeve 7 at the square position, and one end of the connecting rod 18 is inserted into the connecting groove 19. After the connecting rod 18 is inserted into the connecting groove 19, the rotating shaft 6 can drive the sleeve 7 to rotate synchronously through the first clamping plate 13, so that the first clamping plate 13 and the shaft hole 14 clamp the nylon tube and rotate. A slope block 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the sleeve 7. The output end of the cylinder 8 extends through the slide table 4 and into the slide table 4 and is fixedly installed with a pressure block 17. The lower slope of the pressure block 17 abuts against the slope block 16. The cooperation of the cylinder 8, the pressure block 17 and the slope block 16 can make the sleeve 7 move towards the first clamping plate 13, thereby realizing the function of the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 20 clamping the nylon tube.

[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is an automatic assembly mechanism for automotive nylon tubes. When installing a connector on one end of a nylon tube, a robotic arm can clamp and transfer the nylon tube between the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 20. Then, the cylinder 8 is activated, and the output end of the cylinder 8 moves the pressure block 17 downward. Thus, the pressure block 17 gradually pushes the slope block 16 to one side, thereby causing the slope block 16 to move the sleeve 7 outside the through hole and the rotating shaft 6 on one side of the slide table 4. This causes the sleeve 7 to move the second clamping plate 20 towards the nylon tube, so that the second clamping plate 20 cooperates with the first clamping plate 13 to clamp and fix the nylon tube. Subsequently, the robotic arm is removed. At this time, the lead screw linear platform 3 is activated. The lead screw linear platform 3 drives the slide table 4 to move horizontally towards the connector clamping mechanism 2 on the lead screw linear platform 3 through the internal threaded sleeve block 9 and the limiting wheel 10. This allows one end of the nylon tube to abut against the positioning mold of the connector clamping mechanism 2. After being mounted, the guide groove inside the positioning mold moves to the clamping position of the connector. The connector clamping mechanism 2 can then install the structure on one end of the nylon tube. Then, the linear platform 3 drives the slide 4 to move in the opposite direction, pulling one end of the nylon tube away from the positioning mold of the connector clamping mechanism 2. At this time, the motor 5 starts, and the output end of the motor 5 drives the first clamping plate 13 to rotate. The first clamping plate 13 drives the sleeve 7 to rotate synchronously with the connecting rod 18 through the connecting groove 19. This causes the second clamping plate 20 at one end of the sleeve 7 to rotate 180 degrees in coordination with the first clamping plate 13 to adjust the nylon tube. The connector is then installed on the other end of the nylon tube in the same way. Finally, after the connector is installed on the nylon tube, the robotic arm clamps the nylon tube, and the output end of the cylinder 8 drives the pressure block 17 to move upward. The second clamping plate 20 no longer applies pressure to the nylon tube, and the robotic arm can then remove the installed nylon tube.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
