Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hose processing equipment, specifically a hose straightening and rotating device for hose chamfering. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of the ends of flexible hoses (such as metal hoses, plastic hoses, rubber hoses, etc.), chamfering is often required. To improve efficiency, automated equipment usually needs to be chamfer one end, then turn the hose around and chamfer the other end. However, due to the material properties of hoses, they have a certain degree of flexibility and curvature, and are prone to irregular bending during storage and transportation.

[0003] Most existing hose turning devices rely on robotic arms for gripping and rotating. However, due to the bends in the hose, the gripping position is not fixed, which can easily lead to gripping failure or an unsatisfactory gripping position. During placement, the bends in the hose can also cause misalignment with subsequent clamps, resulting in equipment jamming or operational errors, which seriously affects the smoothness and reliability of automated production. To address the problems existing in the prior art, a hose straightening and rotating device for hose chamfering is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a hose straightening and rotating device for hose chamfering, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hose straightening and rotating device for hose chamfering, comprising a frame, a straightening mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a rotating mechanism.

[0006] The straightening mechanism includes a clamping and straightening cylinder and a belt conveyor mechanism. The clamping and straightening cylinder is used to clamp the hose from both sides. The belt conveyor mechanism drives the clamped clamping and straightening cylinder to move a certain distance along the hose axis, and straightens the bent hose by applying axial tension.

[0007] The conveying mechanism includes a lead screw motor, a slider, a lifting cylinder, and a clamping cylinder. The lead screw motor drives the slider and its mounted components to move horizontally. The lifting cylinder drives the clamping cylinder to move vertically. The clamping cylinder clamps the hose after it has been straightened.

[0008] The rotating mechanism is a rotary cylinder installed between the lifting cylinder and the slider, which drives the clamping cylinder to rotate 180 degrees, thereby turning the hose around.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the straightening mechanism and the transport mechanism are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the hose, and the hose is straightened first and then transported and turned around.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the clamping and straightening cylinder can be a parallel pneumatic finger or a pair of opposing cylinders.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the device further includes a control system for coordinating the timing actions of the clamping and straightening cylinder, the belt conveyor mechanism, the lead screw motor, the lifting cylinder, the clamping cylinder, and the rotating cylinder.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By adding a special straightening mechanism, the bent part of the hose is actively straightened before it enters the turning process, providing a workpiece with a regular shape and a definite position for subsequent gripping and placement, fundamentally solving the operational failure caused by hose bending.

[0013] 2. The success rate of gripping and placement of the straightened hose is greatly improved, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of automated equipment and reducing downtime for maintenance.

[0014] 3. The straightening, handling, and rotation functions are integrated into one unit, and the fully automatic sequential control is achieved through the control system, which greatly improves the production efficiency of hose chamfering. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-2A hose straightening rotary device for beveling hoses, wherein the frame 1 is the supporting structure of the entire device. When the hose is transported from the previous process to the straightening station, the clamping and straightening cylinder 21 is activated to clamp the hose. Subsequently, the belt conveyor mechanism 22 is started, driving the clamping and straightening cylinder 21 to move outward along the hose axis to complete the straightening action and make the hose straight.

[0019] After the straightening action is completed, the conveying mechanism 3 starts to work. The lead screw motor 31 drives the slider 32 to move above the straightening station. Then the lifting cylinder 33 moves down, driving the clamping cylinder 34 at its end to descend to the hose. The clamping cylinder 34 moves to reliably clamp the straightened hose. After that, the clamping straightening cylinder 21 is released, and the lifting cylinder 33 moves up to reset.

[0020] After the hose moves to the correct position, the rotary cylinder 41 of the rotary mechanism 4 automatically starts and rotates 180 degrees to achieve a precise reversal of the hose. After the reversal is completed, the lead screw motor 31 drives the slider 32 to move to the next processing station (or placement station). The lifting cylinder 33 moves down again to send the hose to the designated position. Then, the clamping cylinder 34 releases and places the hose in place. Finally, all mechanisms reset and wait for the next work cycle.

[0021] The pneumatic and electric components throughout the process are uniformly controlled by a PLC or other control system to achieve automated continuous production.
