Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of stainless steel hose production equipment, and in particular to an automatic installation device for stainless steel hose sealing hooks. Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel flexible hoses are commonly used connection fittings in the plumbing industry. They typically have standardized connector structures at both ends of the hose body. These connector structures include connector nuts for connection. When the stainless steel flexible hose leaves the factory, a sealing hook is screwed onto the end of the hose body. The sealing hook is used to seal the hose body port, preventing foreign matter from entering the hose body during storage and transportation. Furthermore, the sealing hook allows the stainless steel flexible hose to be hung for display after leaving the factory, facilitating storage and hoisting. Figure 1 As shown, the sealing hook consists of a main body and a screw end. The flat main body has a hanging hole for hanging, and the screw end is formed at the end of the main body for screwing with a connecting nut. In the prior art, the installation operation of screwing the sealing hook to the end of the hose body is done manually, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic installation device for stainless steel flexible hose sealing hooks to solve the above problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic installation device for stainless steel hose sealing hooks, comprising a frame, an indexing plate rotatably mounted on the frame, and a plurality of material racks arranged in a circular array around the center of rotation of the indexing plate. Each material rack has a material groove that matches the connecting nut of the stainless steel hose and opens radially outward along the indexing plate. A sliding plate is mounted on the frame and is drivenly connected to a first cylinder mounted on the frame, sliding horizontally. A second cylinder is vertically mounted on the sliding plate. A support frame is provided on the output shaft of the cylinder. A transfer clamp is rotatably mounted on the support frame and is connected to a motor mounted on the support frame and located above the indexing plate. The transfer clamp has a downward-opening clamping groove that matches the body of the sealing hook. The opening of the clamping groove can be aligned vertically with the material feeding groove. A feeding guide groove with openings at both ends is provided on the frame and is connected to a linear vibrator mounted on the frame on one side of the indexing plate. A baffle plate connected to a third cylinder mounted on the frame is provided at the end of the feeding guide groove near the indexing plate.

[0005] Preferably, the transfer clamp consists of a rotating seat, a first clamping plate, and a second clamping plate. The inner surfaces of the first and second clamping plates are respectively formed with a first half-groove and a second half-groove that vertically penetrate the first and second clamping plates. An insertion block with a dovetail-shaped cross-section is formed on the inner surface of the first clamping plate. An insertion groove matching the insertion block is formed on the inner surface of the second clamping plate. The insertion block is inserted into the insertion groove, causing the first and second clamping plates to assemble, thus forming a clamping groove. The first and second clamping plates are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the rotating seat by bolts. The rotating seat is rotatably mounted on a support frame and connected to a motor drive.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of both the first and second half-grooves is provided with a rubber pad layer.

[0007] Preferably, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are respectively provided with a first spring plunger and a second spring plunger whose ends are inserted into the clamping groove, and the ends of the first spring plunger and the second spring plunger are matched with the suspension hole of the sealing hook.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a stainless steel flexible hose and a sealing hook are disclosed. The stainless steel flexible hose includes a hose body 1a and a connecting nut 2a, and the sealing hook includes a body 3a, a screw end 4a, a hanging hole 5a and a support leg 6a.

[0025] like Figure 2-6 As shown, an automatic installation device for sealing hooks on stainless steel flexible hoses includes a frame 1. A dividing plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. Several material racks 3 are arranged in a circular array around the center of rotation of the dividing plate 2. Each material rack 3 has a material groove 31 that matches the connecting nut of the stainless steel flexible hose and opens radially outward along the dividing plate 2. The material groove 31 extends downward to form a clearance groove 34 that matches the hose body of the stainless steel flexible hose. A sliding plate 4 is mounted on the frame 1 and is driven by a first cylinder 5 mounted on the frame 1, sliding horizontally. A second cylinder 6 is vertically mounted on the sliding plate 4. A support frame 7 is provided on the output shaft of the second cylinder 6. A transfer clamp 8 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 7 and is connected to the motor 12 mounted on the support frame 7 and located above the indexing plate 2. The transfer clamp 8 has a downward-opening clamping groove 81 that matches the body of the sealing hook. The opening of the clamping groove 81 can be aligned vertically with the material placement groove 31. A feeding guide groove 9 is provided on the frame 1, located on one side of the indexing plate 2 and connected to the straight vibrator mounted on the frame 1, with openings at both ends. A baffle plate 10 is provided near the port of the feeding guide groove 9 that is connected to the third cylinder 11 mounted on the frame 1.

[0026] Specifically, the transfer clamp 8 is composed of a rotating seat 82, a first clamping plate 83, and a second clamping plate 84. The inner surfaces of the first clamping plate 83 and the second clamping plate 84 are respectively formed with a first half-groove 832 and a second half-groove 842 that vertically penetrate the first clamping plate 83 and the second clamping plate 84. The inner surface of the first clamping plate 83 is formed with a dovetail-shaped insertion block 831. The inner surface of the second clamping plate 84 is formed with an insertion groove 841 that matches the insertion block 831. The insertion block 831 is inserted into the insertion groove 841 so that the first clamping plate 83 and the second clamping plate 84 are joined together, and the first half-groove 832 and the second half-groove 842 are joined together to form a clamping groove 81. The first clamping plate 83 and the second clamping plate 84 are fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the rotating seat 82 by bolts. The rotating seat 82 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 7 and is connected to the motor 12 for transmission.

[0027] In the above structure, the stainless steel hose and the sealing hook are placed in the material rack 3 and the feeding guide 9, respectively. The operation of placing the stainless steel hose in the material rack 3 is as follows: the connecting nut is inserted into the material rack 31 through the opening, so that the outer wall of the connecting nut is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the material rack 31, allowing the stainless steel hose to suspend on the material rack 3 with the end of the connecting nut facing upwards. Because the material rack 31 is matched with the connecting nut, the rotation of the connecting nut is restricted by the inner wall of the material rack 31 after it is placed inside. The operation of placing the sealing hook in the feeding guide 9 is as follows: several sealing hooks are inserted side-by-side into the feeding guide 9 through the port of the feeding guide 9 away from the indexing plate 2. The upper end of the feeding guide 9 has a limiting groove matching the thickness of the body. 91. After the sealing hook is placed into the feeding guide 9, the main body passes through the limiting groove 91. The limiting groove 91 restricts the rotation of the sealing hook in the feeding guide 9. After the stainless steel hose and sealing hook are loaded, the indexing plate 2 drives the stainless steel hose placed in the material rack 3 to rotate to the bottom of the transfer clamp 8. The vibrator works to transport the sealing hook in the feeding guide 9 towards the port of the feeding guide 9 near the indexing plate 2, and makes the frontmost sealing hook abut against the baffle plate 10. Then, the first cylinder 5 drives the sliding plate 4 to drive the second cylinder 6 and the support frame 7 to move upwards in the feeding guide 9, so that the clamp moves above the frontmost sealing hook and the lower opening of the clamping groove 81 is aligned with the frontmost sealing hook. Then, the second cylinder 6 drives the support frame 7 to move the clamp. The mechanism moves towards the foremost sealing hook, causing its body to insert into the clamping groove 81 through the lower opening. The interference fit between the hook body and the inner wall of the clamping groove 81 allows the transfer fixture 8 to hold the foremost sealing hook. Then, the third cylinder 11 drives the baffle plate 10 away from the end of the feeding guide 9, opening the end of the feeding guide 9 near the indexing plate 2. The first cylinder 5 drives the fixture, causing the foremost sealing hook to leave the feeding guide 9, thus transferring the sealing hook from the feeding guide 9 to the transfer fixture 8. Simultaneously, the baffle plate 10, driven by the third cylinder 11, resets and blocks the end of the feeding guide 9 near the indexing plate 2, limiting the sealing hook within the feeding guide 9. The sealing hook held on the transfer fixture 8 moves with the transfer fixture 8... Driven by cylinders 5 and 6, the device moves to a position above the stainless steel hose placed in the material rack 3. Alignment of the clamping groove 81 with the material rack 31 aligns the threaded end of the sealing hook with the port of the connecting nut. Then, cylinder 6 drives the transfer clamp 8, causing the threaded end of the sealing hook to abut against the port of the connecting nut. Motor 12 drives the clamp to rotate, causing the sealing hook to slowly rotate several times, gradually threading the threaded end of the sealing hook into the connecting nut. During this process, cylinder 6 synchronously drives the transfer clamp 8 downwards to match the position movement of the sealing hook. Once the threaded end of the sealing hook is fully threaded into the connecting nut, the sealing hook is installed on the stainless steel hose.Next, the second cylinder 6 drives the transfer clamp 8 to move upward and reset, causing the sealing hook body to gradually exit the clamping groove 81. It should be noted that the frictional force generated by the interference fit between the metal material rack 3 and the metal connecting nut is greater than the frictional force generated by the interference fit between the transfer clamp 8 and the plastic sealing hook body. Therefore, when the sealing hook body exits the clamping groove 81, it will not cause the stainless steel hose inside the material rack 3 to move. Then, the stainless steel hose with the sealing hook installed rotates with the indexing plate 2 and leaves from under the transfer clamp 8. The stainless steel hose can then be removed from the material rack 3. Through the above structure and method, the installation operation of the sealing hook and stainless steel hose only requires manual intervention in placing the stainless steel hose in the material rack 3 and removing it from the material groove 31, greatly reducing manual intervention, alleviating the labor intensity of workers, and improving production efficiency.

[0028] Optionally, the bottom of the first half-groove 832 and the second half-groove 842 are provided with rubber pads. When the body of the sealing hook is inserted into the clamping groove 81, its two sides contact the rubber pads at the bottom of the first half-groove 832 and the second half-groove 842 respectively to generate friction. Since the rubber pads are elastic, they make elastic contact with the body of the sealing hook, ensuring that sufficient force is applied to the body of the sealing hook to achieve the clamping of the sealing hook by the transfer clamp 8. It also makes it easy for the body of the sealing hook to enter or exit the clamping groove 81.

[0029] Optionally, the first clamping plate 83 and the second clamping plate 84 are respectively provided with a first spring plunger 833 and a second spring plunger 843 whose ends penetrate into the clamping groove 81. The ends of the first spring plunger 833 and the second spring plunger 843 match the suspension hole of the sealing hook. When the body of the sealing hook is inserted into the clamping groove 81, the ends of the first spring plunger 833 and the second spring plunger 843 are engaged in the suspension hole of the sealing hook to limit the sealing hook and realize the clamping of the sealing hook by the transfer clamp 8. The elastic extension and retraction of the ends of the first spring plunger 833 and the second spring plunger 843 also facilitates the body of the sealing hook to enter into the clamping groove 81 or exit from the clamping groove 81.

[0030] Optionally, the material rack 3 has a swing window 32 that communicates with the material trough 31. An elastic plate 33 is fixedly connected to the material rack 3. The end of the elastic plate 33 passes through the swing window 32 and enters the material trough 31. When the connecting nut of the stainless steel hose is placed in the material trough 31 through the radially outward opening of the indexing plate 2, the connecting nut pushes the elastic plate 33 to swing outward in the swing window 32, so that the elastic plate 33 with elastic deformation applies a force to the outer wall of the connecting nut, thereby enhancing the stability of the connecting nut when it is placed in the material trough 31 and ensuring the stability of the subsequent installation operation of the sealing hook.

[0031] Furthermore, based on the above structure, the frame 1 is provided with a feeding plate 13 located above the rotation path of the feeding rack 3. The inclination direction of the feeding plate 13 is tangent to the rotation path of the feeding rack 3. When the connecting nut of the stainless steel hose is placed in the feeding groove 31, its upper end is higher than the upper end of the feeding rack 3. During the rotation of the indexing plate 2, the part of the connecting nut that is higher than the upper end of the feeding rack 3 abuts against the feeding plate 13. Since the inclination direction of the feeding plate 13 is tangent to the rotation path of the feeding rack 3, the connecting nut is gradually dislodged from the feeding groove 31 under the pushing action of the feeding plate 13 until it completely leaves the feeding groove 31, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of the stainless steel hose with the sealing hook installed, further reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, based on the above structure, a fourth cylinder 14 is horizontally mounted on the output shaft of the second cylinder 6. The support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the fourth cylinder 14. The second cylinder 6 drives the fourth cylinder 14 to move vertically, thereby causing the support frame 7 to move vertically. The sealing hook has the following characteristics: Figure 1 When the support legs are shown, after the transfer clamp 8 holds the sealing hook, the fourth cylinder 14 drives the transfer clamp 8 to move the sealing hook inward toward the center of the indexing plate 2. After the second cylinder 6 drives the sealing hook to move downward, the support legs of the sealing hook are located inside the support frame 7. Then, the second cylinder 6 drives the sealing hook to move outward, so that the support legs of the elastic sealing hook are locked on the part of the material rack 3 with the relief groove 34 and the connecting end is aligned with the connecting nut (this is because the part of the material rack 3 with the relief groove 34 has a smaller outer diameter than the part with the material groove 31). This makes the installation device suitable for the installation of sealing hooks with support legs, and has better applicability.
