Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical device technology, and in particular to a quick connector assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Quick couplings are used in water and gas supply pipelines. Quick couplings are assembled from multiple parts, such as... Figure 1 As shown, for example, a quick coupling includes a coupling body 50, a sealing ring 40, a pressure ring 30, a pipe clamp 20, and a nut 10. The current assembly method generally uses simple tooling to manually place the nut 10, pipe clamp 20, pressure ring 30, and sealing ring 40 into the tooling one by one, and then insert the coupling body 50 from above and manually rotate the nut to assemble the quick coupling. The above assembly process is inefficient, wastes manpower, and has high labor costs, resulting in a higher finished product price and a lack of market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a quick connector assembly machine that can automatically feed nuts, pipe clamps, pressure rings and sealing rings, and automatically assemble the connector body with the above four parts by driving the tooling rotation drive mechanism to rotate. It has a high degree of automation and high production efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution as follows: a quick connector assembly machine is provided, the assembly machine includes a machine base and a rotatable turntable, the turntable is provided with a plurality of through holes evenly spaced in the circumferential direction, each of the through holes is provided with a tooling, and each tooling is rotatably connected to the turntable.

[0005] A tooling rotation drive mechanism is provided on the machine base and directly below the turntable. The tooling rotation drive mechanism includes a servo motor, a reducer, a coupling, a steering gear, and a lower clutch section. The servo motor, the reducer, and the coupling are connected laterally in sequence. The lower clutch section is located directly below the tooling. The two ends of the steering gear are connected to the coupling and the lower clutch section, respectively. The upper clutch section is installed on the lower part of the tooling. The steering gear converts the lateral power of the servo motor into longitudinal power to drive the tooling to rotate.

[0006] The machine tool is provided with four feeding devices in sequence on the outer periphery of the turntable, namely a nut feeding device, a pipe clamp feeding device, a pressure ring feeding device and a sealing ring feeding device. The nuts, pipe clamps, pressure rings and sealing rings are put into the tooling in sequence through the nut feeding device, pipe clamp feeding device, pressure ring feeding device and sealing ring feeding device.

[0007] Furthermore, the assembly machine is equipped with a nut feeder at the nut feeding device, a pipe clamp feeder at the pipe clamp feeding device, a pressure ring feeder at the pressure ring feeding device, and a sealing ring feeder at the sealing ring feeding device.

[0008] To elaborate further, the lower and upper sections of the clutch together form a complete clutch.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting base is installed at the through hole, and the tooling includes a sleeve and a base. The upper end of the base is fixed to the bottom of the sleeve, and the lower end of the base is connected to the upper section of the clutch.

[0010] The base and the mounting seat are rotatably connected by bearings.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the turntable is connected to a turntable rotation drive mechanism that can drive it to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, the nut feeding device includes a feeding platform, a picking gripper, a picking lifting drive cylinder capable of driving the picking gripper to rise and fall, and a picking translation drive module capable of driving the picking gripper to move horizontally. The picking gripper is driven by the picking lifting drive cylinder and the picking translation drive module to move the nut from the feeding platform to the tooling on the turntable.

[0013] The feeding platform is connected to the discharge port of the nut feeder.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The quick coupling assembly machine of this utility model has a reasonable structural design, which can realize the automatic feeding of nuts, pipe clamps, pressure rings and sealing rings, and automatically assemble the connector body with the above four parts by driving the tooling rotation drive mechanism to rotate. It has a high degree of automation and high production efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, the tooling rotation drive mechanism of this utility model includes a servo motor, a reducer, a coupling, a steering gear, and a lower clutch section. The servo motor, reducer, and coupling are connected laterally in sequence. The lower clutch section is located directly below the tooling. The two ends of the steering gear are connected to the coupling and the lower clutch section, respectively. The upper clutch section is installed on the lower part of the tooling. The steering gear converts the lateral power of the servo motor into longitudinal power to drive the tooling to rotate. Compared with the method of directly driving the tooling to rotate with longitudinal power, it can make reasonable use of the space between the turntable and the machine base, and does not require an excessively large distance between the turntable and the upper surface of the machine base. Moreover, the use of a clutch can cut off the power when the turntable rotates, avoiding interference with the rotation of the turntable.

In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The following specific embodiments illustrate the detailed implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented in other different ways, that is, different modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope disclosed in this utility model.

[0029] The descriptions of positions such as up, down, left, and right in this embodiment are based on the orientation in the accompanying drawings, have no special meaning, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Example: A quick connector assembly machine, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the assembly machine includes a machine base 1 and a rotatable turntable 2. The turntable is provided with a plurality of through holes evenly spaced around its circumference. Each through hole is provided with a tool 21, and each tool is rotatably connected to the turntable.

[0031] A tooling rotation drive mechanism 3 is provided on the machine base and directly below the turntable. The tooling rotation drive mechanism 3 includes a servo motor 31, a reducer 32, a coupling 33, a steering gear 34, and a lower clutch section 35. The servo motor, the reducer, and the coupling are connected laterally in sequence. The lower clutch section is located directly below the tooling. The two ends of the steering gear are connected to the coupling and the lower clutch section, respectively. The upper clutch section 22 is installed on the lower part of the tooling. The steering gear converts the lateral power of the servo motor into longitudinal power to drive the tooling to rotate.

[0032] The machine tool is provided with four feeding devices on the outer periphery of the turntable, namely, nut feeding device 4, pipe clamp feeding device 5, pressure ring feeding device 6, and sealing ring feeding device 7. The nuts, pipe clamps, pressure rings, and sealing rings are placed into the tooling in sequence through the nut feeding device, pipe clamp feeding device, pressure ring feeding device, and sealing ring feeding device.

[0033] In this embodiment, a nut feeder 100 is provided around the assembly machine corresponding to the nut feeding device, a pipe clamp feeder 200 is provided corresponding to the pipe clamp feeding device, a pressure ring feeder 300 is provided corresponding to the pressure ring feeding device, and a sealing ring feeder 400 is provided corresponding to the sealing ring feeding device. The purpose of each of the above feeders is for automatic feeding of parts. The specific feeding structure belongs to the prior art and is not within the protection scope of this utility model, so it will not be described in detail.

[0034] In this embodiment, the lower clutch section and the upper clutch section form a complete clutch. For example, this clutch is an electromagnetic clutch, which is a device that uses electromagnetic force to connect and disconnect mechanical components. Its core function is to control the transmission or disconnection of power through electrical signals, and it is widely used in industrial scenarios requiring rapid response, precise control, or remote operation. The terms "upper clutch section" and "lower clutch section" are used here for distinction only and do not imply that the upper clutch section is necessarily on top and the lower clutch section is necessarily on the bottom when combined into a complete clutch.

[0035] In the tooling rotary drive mechanism, a servo motor provides power; a reducer increases torque; a steering gear changes the direction of power; and a clutch can cut off power when the turntable rotates.

[0036] In this embodiment, a mounting base 23 is installed at the through hole, and the tooling 21 includes a sleeve 211 and a base 212. The upper end of the base is fixed to the bottom of the sleeve, and the lower end of the base is connected to the upper section of the clutch. A central shaft 214 is provided inside the sleeve.

[0037] The base and the mounting base are rotatably connected by a bearing 213, ensuring smooth rotation of the tooling.

[0038] In this embodiment, the bottom of the turntable is connected to a turntable rotation drive mechanism 8 that can drive it to rotate. This is prior art, so it will not be described in detail. As long as it can drive the turntable to rotate, it is fine. For example, a servo motor, a reducer and a cam divider can be used to achieve this.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the nut feeding device 4 includes a feeding platform 41, a picking gripper 42, a picking lifting drive cylinder 43 that can drive the picking gripper to rise and fall, and a picking translation drive module 44 that can drive the picking gripper to move horizontally. The picking gripper is driven by the picking lifting drive cylinder and the picking translation drive module to move the nut from the feeding platform to the tooling on the turntable.

[0040] The feeding platform is connected to the discharge port of the nut feeder.

[0041] The nut feeder moves the nuts onto the loading platform, and then the lifting and lifting drive cylinder and the translating drive module drive the nut grippers to place the nuts from the loading platform into the tooling.

[0042] The structure of the pipe clamp feeding device 5, the pressure ring feeding device 6, and the sealing ring feeding device 7 can be similar to that of the nut feeding device 7. The difference is that the structure of the material gripper needs to be adjusted according to the structure of the pipe clamp, the pressure ring, and the sealing ring, so that it can grip the material to be gripped.

[0043] The working principle and process of this utility model:

[0044] During the rotation of the turntable, the nut feeding device, pipe clamp feeding device, pressure ring feeding device, and sealing ring feeding device sequentially place the nut, pipe clamp, pressure ring, and sealing ring into the sleeve of the tooling. Finally, the connector body is manually placed in and held by hand. Then, the upper and lower clutch sections combine. The power of the servo motor is transmitted to the tooling through the reducer and coupling and then through the steering gear, driving the tooling and the nut located inside it to rotate together (a groove can be provided inside the sleeve to engage with the circumferential convex strip on the outer surface of the nut; other structures can also be used, as long as the tooling can drive the nut to rotate when it rotates). The nut, pipe clamp, pressure ring, sealing ring, and connector body are automatically assembled together. When the turntable rotates, the clutch disengages the power, and the upper and lower clutch sections separate.

[0045] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
