Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for flexible tube production, and more specifically, it relates to a flexible tube sleeve device. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible busbars (including flexible copper busbars and flexible aluminum busbars) are commonly used conductive components in new energy vehicles, and their outer surface needs to be covered with heat shrink tubing for local insulation. Currently, the tubing operation is mainly done manually. The specific steps are as follows: Employee A holds the right end of the heat shrink tubing with their left hand and inserts the aluminum tube with the lobster clip at one end into the heat shrink tubing with their right hand until the lobster clip protrudes from the left end of the heat shrink tubing; Employee B holds the left end of the heat shrink tubing with their left hand and hooks the flexible busbar onto the lobster clip with their right hand; then, Employee A pulls the aluminum tube out of the heat shrink tubing, while Employee B simultaneously "pushes" the flexible busbar into the heat shrink tubing, so that the aluminum tube, through the lobster clip, pulls the flexible busbar through the heat shrink tubing from left to right until the heat shrink tubing is in the preset position on the flexible busbar.

[0003] However, for flexible tubing longer than 1.2 meters, the material is soft, and the inner wall of the heat shrink tubing is coated with an adhesive layer (which increases resistance), making manual tubing sleeve and pulling operations laborious and inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a specialized device to improve production efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of employees. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible tubing device to solve the technical problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of existing manual tubing.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A flexible heat shrink tubing device includes a base plate, a toothed belt for first inserting into the heat shrink tubing from the forward direction and then driving the flexible tube to insert into the heat shrink tubing from the reverse direction, a guide assembly mounted on the base plate for guiding the toothed belt, a drive assembly mounted on the base plate for driving the toothed belt to reciprocate, a straight guide tube mounted on the base plate for providing a fixed position for the heat shrink tubing, a cylinder clamp mounted on the base plate for clamping the end of the heat shrink tubing onto the straight guide tube, a manual valve for controlling the opening and closing of the cylinder clamp, and a control module for controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive assembly. The straight guide tube is located at the forward end of the guide assembly, and the axis of the straight guide tube is aligned with the guide path of the guide assembly, so that the toothed belt first inserts into the straight guide tube from the forward direction and then into the heat shrink tubing. The end of the toothed belt inserted into the heat shrink tubing from the forward direction is provided with a lobster clip for movably connecting with the flexible tube and thus driving the flexible tube to insert into the heat shrink tubing from the reverse direction. The drive assembly is engaged with the toothed belt. The control module is electrically connected to the drive assembly. The manual valve is connected to the cylinder clamp via an air guide tube.

[0006] Optionally, the guiding assembly includes a guiding bracket mounted on the base plate, two rows of guiding wheels arranged in parallel on the top of the guiding bracket, and a guiding wheel pressure plate mounted on the top of the guiding bracket; the toothed belt is located between the two rows of guiding wheels and is guided by the two rows of guiding wheels; the number of guiding wheels in each row is greater than or equal to two.

[0007] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a drive motor mounted on the base plate; a drive gear is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor; and a through hole is provided on the support plate of the guide bracket for the drive gear to pass through, and the drive gear meshes with the toothed belt after passing through the through hole.

[0008] Optionally, a curved guide tube is provided on the base plate at the opposite end of the guide assembly for fitting a toothed belt to achieve a storage effect; the toothed belt is a flexible, bendable toothed belt.

[0009] Optionally, the straight conduit is fixedly connected to the base plate via the right side plate; the curved conduit is fixedly connected to the base plate via the left side plate.

[0010] Optionally, the drive motor is fixedly connected to the base plate via the rear side plate; the cylinder gripper is fixedly connected to the base plate via the cylinder bracket.

[0011] Optionally, a front side plate is provided on the base plate; the manual valve is located on the front side plate or the cylinder bracket.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes a top cover plate; the top cover plate is fixedly connected to the protective frame formed by the right side plate, left side plate, rear side plate and front side plate.

[0013] Optionally, the top cover is equipped with two handles to facilitate the handling of the flexible tubing equipment.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: Through the coordinated design of toothed belt drive and pneumatic clamping, the entire process of flexible tubing sleeve production is mechanized, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity associated with traditional manual tubing. The equipment uses a flexible toothed belt with a guiding component, ensuring transmission stability while achieving compact storage through the bent guide tube, significantly reducing the space occupied by the equipment. A foot switch combined with a forward / reverse control module allows a single employee to adjust the speed and switch directions, significantly reducing manual intervention. The lobster clip design is smooth and reliable, ensuring a stable connection of the flexible tubing while avoiding damage to the inner wall of the heat-shrink tubing. The overall equipment optimizes the original two-person operation to a single-person operation, greatly improving the efficiency of long flexible tubing sleeve production, combining ease of operation with economical production.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the heat shrink tubing 9 is fitted onto the straight guide tube 5. Then, by pulling down the lever valve 7, the cylinder clamp 6 is used to clamp and fix the end of the heat shrink tubing 9. When the employee presses the foot switch, the control module starts the drive motor 41 to rotate forward, which in turn drives the toothed belt 2 to move forward via the drive gear 42. Figure 2 (Right side is the positive direction). The toothed belt 2 starts from the guide assembly 3, passes through the straight guide tube 5 and enters the heat shrink tubing 9. The guide assembly 3 ensures that the toothed belt 2 maintains a stable running trajectory during movement. When the lobster clip 21 at the end of the toothed belt 2 protrudes from the other end of the heat shrink tubing 9, release the foot switch, hook the flexible strip onto the lobster clip 21, and pull up the lever valve 7 to release the heat shrink tubing 9 from the cylinder clamp 6; press the forward / reverse switch button on the electrical box (the control panel is installed inside the electrical box, which has a forward / reverse switch button and a foot switch); step on the foot switch, the drive motor 41 reverses, the toothed belt 2 and the lobster clip 21 move the flexible strip to the left, and the lobster clip 21 pulls the flexible strip into the heat shrink tubing 9; at the same time, hold the heat shrink tubing 9 to prevent it from moving to the left with the flexible strip. After the flexible strip has completely passed through the heat shrink tubing 9 and the lobster clip 21 is exposed, release the foot switch, the drive motor 41 stops rotating, the toothed belt 2 stops moving, remove the flexible strip from the lobster clip 21, and enter the next cycle. During the reverse movement, part of the toothed belt 2 enters the curved guide tube 8 for bending and storage, effectively reducing the space occupied by the equipment.

[0045] In summary, this invention achieves fully mechanized operation of the flexible tubing process through the coordinated design of toothed belt drive and pneumatic clamping, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity associated with traditional manual tubing. The use of a flexible toothed belt in conjunction with a guiding component ensures transmission stability while achieving compact storage through the bent guide tube, significantly reducing the equipment's space requirements. The control module and drive components enable a single employee to adjust speed and switch directions, significantly reducing manual intervention. The lobster clip design is smooth and reliable, ensuring a secure connection of the flexible tubing while preventing damage to the inner wall of the heat-shrink tubing. The overall equipment optimizes the original two-person operation to a single-person operation, greatly improving the efficiency of long flexible tubing tubing and combining ease of operation with economical production.
