Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of workpiece insertion technology, and more particularly to an insertion tooling. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and manufacturing of various equipment, especially in the installation of liquid or gas pipelines, it is necessary to connect workpieces. For example, the connection of liquid pipelines and interfaces in cleaning equipment, the connection of gas pipelines and interfaces, the connection of workpieces in the production of automotive parts, and the connection of workpieces in the manufacturing of heat exchangers are all achieved through connection.

[0003] In the manufacturing of cleaning equipment, pipe connections are typically performed manually. Manual connection methods have several problems, such as low efficiency, difficulty in meeting the demands of modern production, and the risk of hand injury during insertion; difficulty in controlling insertion depth and positional accuracy, affecting product quality and functionality; and difficulty in ensuring the sealing and stability of the connected pipes, impacting product reliability and lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a splicing tool to improve the low efficiency of existing manual splicing techniques.

[0005] This application provides a splicing fixture for splicing a first workpiece and a second workpiece. The splicing fixture includes a first clamping mechanism, a first clamping drive mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, a second clamping drive mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. The first clamping mechanism includes at least two relatively movable first clamping parts; the first clamping drive mechanism drives at least one of the first clamping parts to reciprocate, so that the first clamping part clamps the first workpiece; the second clamping mechanism includes at least two relatively movable second clamping parts; the second clamping drive mechanism drives at least one of the second clamping parts to reciprocate, so that the second clamping part clamps the second workpiece; the pushing mechanism drives the first clamping mechanism and / or the second clamping mechanism to move relative to each other, so that the first workpiece and the second workpiece are spliced. The first clamping mechanism includes a splice end clamping part, which is movably disposed at one end of the first clamping part near the second clamping part. The splice end clamping part moves with the first clamping part, so that the splice end clamping part clamps the splice end of the first workpiece.

[0006] The insertion fixture of this application clamps a first workpiece by driving a first clamping part to move relative to the first clamping part through a first clamping drive mechanism. A second clamping part is then driven to move relative to the second workpiece by a second clamping drive mechanism. A pushing mechanism drives the first and / or second clamping mechanisms to move relative to each other, achieving insertion. This mechanized insertion replaces the original manual insertion, improving production efficiency, reducing operational difficulty and skill requirements, and lowering labor and production costs. Simultaneously, it addresses the problem of difficulty in standardizing and controlling the insertion depth in traditional manual insertion, ensuring insertion accuracy and position consistency, improving product pass rate and consistency, and guaranteeing product quality.

[0007] There can be two or more first clamping parts to clamp the first workpiece. Preferably, there are two first clamping parts, and the first workpiece is placed between the two first clamping parts, thereby clamping the first workpiece. The first clamping drive mechanism can drive one first clamping part to move relative to the other, or it can drive the two first clamping parts to move towards each other. Preferably, the first clamping drive mechanism drives the two first clamping parts to move towards each other, ensuring the clamping position of the first workpiece, ensuring the coaxiality of the first workpiece and the second workpiece, reducing the impact of the machining accuracy of the first workpiece on the insertion, and ensuring the insertion quality.

[0008] Similarly, there can be two or more second clamping parts to clamp the second workpiece. Preferably, there are two second clamping parts, with the second workpiece placed between them, thus clamping the second workpiece. The second clamping drive mechanism can drive one side of the second clamping part to move relative to the other side, or it can drive the two sides of the second clamping parts to move towards each other. Preferably, the second clamping drive mechanism drives the two second clamping parts to move towards each other, ensuring the clamping position of the second workpiece, ensuring the coaxiality of the second workpiece and the first workpiece, reducing the impact of the machining accuracy of the second workpiece on the insertion, and ensuring the insertion quality.

[0009] The pushing mechanism can drive the first clamping mechanism to move toward the second clamping mechanism, or drive the second clamping mechanism to move toward the first clamping mechanism, or simultaneously drive the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism to move toward each other, thereby enabling the first workpiece and the second workpiece to be inserted into each other.

[0010] For workpieces with relatively soft materials such as pipes, the accuracy of the insertion position of the workpiece's insertion end must be ensured. The first clamping drive mechanism moves the first clamping part with a hard limit. If only the first clamping part is driven by the first clamping drive mechanism, problems such as squeezing and deforming the insertion end or insufficient clamping of the insertion end may occur, leading to situations such as inability to insert or insufficient insertion accuracy resulting in misalignment and failure to insert. Furthermore, for workpieces such as pipes, the diameter of the insertion end increases as insertion progresses. If the first clamping part is used to clamp the insertion end, the outer periphery of the insertion end will be restricted, preventing the diameter from increasing and potentially causing damage to the insertion end due to squeezing.

[0011] By providing plug-in end clamping parts, the number of plug-in end clamping parts matches the number of first clamping parts, and the plug-in end clamping parts are movably connected to the first clamping parts. When the plug-in end is within the tolerance range, the plug-in end clamping parts can effectively clamp the plug-in end, ensuring clamping accuracy and avoiding situations such as plug-in end compression deformation or incomplete clamping, thereby ensuring the insertion process. During the insertion process, when the diameter of the plug-in end changes, the plug-in end clamping parts will undergo relative movement with the first clamping parts, thereby ensuring that the plug-in end has sufficient space to increase in diameter and avoiding plug-in end compression damage.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first clamping mechanism includes an elastic member disposed between the plug-in end clamping portion and the first clamping portion; the elastic member applies a force to the plug-in end clamping portion in response to a change in the relative position between the plug-in end clamping portion and the first clamping portion, so that the relative position between the plug-in end clamping portion and the first clamping portion is reset.

[0013] By setting an elastic element, when the relative position of the insertion end clamping part and the first clamping part changes, the force applied by the elastic element causes the insertion end clamping part and the first clamping part to reset, ensuring that the insertion end clamping part always clamps the insertion end, thereby ensuring that the first workpiece and the second workpiece can be inserted and connected, ensuring the quality of the insertion end after insertion, and reducing the risk of damage, leakage, and air leakage at the insertion interface.

[0014] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first clamping mechanism includes a connecting shaft, which is slidably connected to one of the plug-in end clamping portion and the first clamping portion, and fixed to the other, so that the plug-in end clamping portion moves along the direction in which the first clamping portion clamps the first workpiece.

[0015] The connecting shaft can be fixed to the first clamping part and slidably connected to the insertion end clamping part, allowing the insertion end clamping part and the first clamping part to slide relative to each other. Alternatively, the connecting shaft can be slidably connected to the first clamping part and fixed to the insertion end clamping part, allowing the insertion end clamping part and the first clamping part to slide relative to each other. The connecting shaft can restrict the direction of relative movement between the insertion end clamping part and the first clamping part, ensuring the clamping accuracy of the insertion end clamping part on the insertion end of the first workpiece. Simultaneously, when the diameter of the insertion end of the first workpiece changes, the insertion end clamping part moves along the direction in which the first clamping part clamps the first workpiece, thereby ensuring that the insertion end has sufficient space for diameter change and preventing damage from compression.

[0016] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first clamping mechanism includes a first limiting part, which is disposed at the sliding end of the connecting shaft, and the first limiting part restricts the connecting shaft from disengaging from the insertion end clamping part or the first clamping part.

[0017] The first limiting part is provided at the sliding end of the connecting shaft. For example, if the connecting shaft is slidably connected to the plug-in end clamping part, the first limiting part is provided at the end of the connecting shaft near the plug-in end clamping part; if the connecting shaft is slidably connected to the first clamping part, the first limiting part is provided at the end of the connecting shaft near the first clamping part. By providing the first limiting part, the first limiting part is prevented from disengaging from the plug-in end clamping part or the first clamping part, and the relative position of the plug-in end clamping part and the first clamping part is limited.

[0018] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the elastic element is a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft. And / or, a second limiting portion is provided on the connecting shaft, the second limiting portion being disposed between the insertion end clamping portion and the first clamping portion, the second limiting portion limiting the proximal distance of the relative positions of the insertion end clamping portion and the first clamping portion.

[0019] Springs are low in cost and have controllable elasticity. By sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft, the insertion end can be effectively clamped while avoiding damage to the insertion end due to excessive elasticity, thus ensuring the insertion process and the quality of the insertion.

[0020] The second limiting part is disposed between the plug-in end clamping part and the first clamping part. When the plug-in end clamping part or the first clamping part moves relative to each other to the second limiting part, it stops and limits the proximal end of the relative position of the plug-in end clamping part and the first clamping part. The first limiting part and the second limiting part limit the distal end and proximal end positions of the plug-in end clamping part and the first clamping part, respectively, thereby limiting the range of movement of the plug-in end driven by the plug-in end clamping part and improving the situation where the plug-in end is damaged due to excessive deflection when clamping the plug-in end.

[0021] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first clamping part includes a clamping part body and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is fixedly disposed on the clamping part body and extends toward the second clamping part; the plug-in end clamping part is movably mounted on the mounting plate.

[0022] The mounting plate extends the main body of the clamping part, thereby facilitating the installation of the plug-in end clamping part. This allows the plug-in end clamping part to be installed on the side of the main body of the clamping part closer to the second clamping mechanism, making it convenient to clamp the plug-in end.

[0023] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first clamping mechanism includes a first tray, the top of which is provided with a first groove that matches the first workpiece, and the first groove is configured to hold the first workpiece. The second clamping mechanism includes a second tray, the top of which is provided with a second groove that matches the second workpiece, and the second groove is configured to hold the second workpiece.

[0024] The first tray and the first groove facilitate the placement of the first workpiece. The first groove positions the first workpiece, ensuring its clamping accuracy. The first workpiece is placed in the first groove before clamping, avoiding the situation where the first clamping mechanism clamps the first workpiece when it is manually held or held by a robotic arm, thus ensuring safety during clamping and insertion operations.

[0025] The second tray facilitates the placement of the second workpiece, and the second groove positions the second workpiece, thereby ensuring the clamping accuracy of the second workpiece, ensuring the accuracy of the insertion process, and improving product quality.

[0026] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, a limiting step is formed in the second groove, and the limiting step restricts the second workpiece from moving away from the first workpiece.

[0027] The limiting step matches the second workpiece to limit the second workpiece, thereby preventing relative movement between the second workpiece and the second support plate during the insertion process and ensuring the insertion is completed.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first clamping part is directly or indirectly detachably connected to the first clamping drive mechanism; the second clamping part is directly or indirectly detachably connected to the second clamping drive mechanism.

[0029] The first clamping part and the first clamping drive mechanism can be directly and detachably connected, that is, the first clamping part can be detachably mounted on the first clamping drive mechanism. The first clamping part and the second clamping mechanism can also be indirectly and detachably connected, such as the first clamping part and the first clamping drive mechanism being connected through a mounting member, in which case the first clamping part and the mounting member are detachably connected and / or the first clamping drive mechanism and the mounting member are detachably connected.

[0030] The first clamping part is directly or indirectly detachably connected to the first clamping drive mechanism, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the first clamping part, so that the insertion tooling can be used for clamping and inserting workpieces of different specifications, thus improving the application range of the insertion tooling.

[0031] Similarly, the second clamping part and the second clamping drive mechanism can be directly and detachably connected, that is, the second clamping part can be detachably mounted on the second clamping drive mechanism. The second clamping part and the second clamping drive mechanism can also be indirectly and detachably connected, such as the second clamping part and the second clamping drive mechanism being connected through a mounting member, in which case the second clamping part and the mounting member are detachably connected and / or the second clamping drive mechanism and the mounting member are detachably connected.

[0032] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the insertion tooling includes a limiting member that restricts the travel of the first clamping mechanism and / or the second clamping mechanism.

[0033] The limiting component matches the pushing mechanism. When the pushing mechanism drives the first clamping mechanism to move towards the second clamping mechanism, the limiting component restricts the stroke of the first clamping mechanism; when the pushing mechanism drives the second clamping mechanism to move towards the first clamping mechanism, the limiting component restricts the stroke of the second clamping mechanism; when the pushing mechanism simultaneously drives the first and second clamping mechanisms to move towards each other, the limiting component restricts the stroke of both the first and second clamping mechanisms. By limiting the stroke of the first and / or second clamping mechanisms, the limiting component restricts the insertion depth, improves the standardization of insertion depth, ensures the consistency of insertion accuracy and position, improves product consistency and yield, and enhances product quality.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this application, in combination with existing technologies, are as follows:

[0035] Existing manual insertion methods are inefficient and require highly skilled operators. The insertion fixture of this application uses a first clamping drive mechanism to drive the relative movement of a first clamping part, thereby clamping a first workpiece. A second clamping drive mechanism drives the relative movement of a second clamping part, thereby clamping a second workpiece. A pushing mechanism drives the movement of the first and / or second clamping mechanisms, causing the clamped first and second workpieces to move relative to each other and achieve insertion. By replacing manual insertion with mechanized insertion, production efficiency is improved, operational difficulty and skill requirements are reduced, and labor and production costs are lowered. Simultaneously, it addresses the difficulty in standardizing and controlling the insertion depth of traditional manual insertion, ensuring insertion accuracy and position consistency, improving product pass rate and consistency, and guaranteeing product quality.

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a splicing fixture for splicing a first workpiece 710 and a second workpiece 720 that need to be spliced, replacing the existing manual splicing, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0059] The insertion fixture includes a first clamping mechanism 100, a first clamping drive mechanism 200, a second clamping mechanism 300, a second clamping drive mechanism 400, and a pushing mechanism 500.

[0060] A first clamping mechanism 100 is used to clamp a first workpiece 710, and the first clamping mechanism 100 includes at least two relatively movable first clamping parts 110. A first clamping drive mechanism 200 drives at least one first clamping part 110 to reciprocate, so that the first clamping part 110 clamps the first workpiece 710. A second clamping mechanism 300 is used to clamp a second workpiece 720, and the second clamping mechanism 300 includes at least two relatively movable second clamping parts 310. A second clamping drive mechanism 400 drives at least one second clamping part 310 to reciprocate, so that the second clamping part 310 clamps the second workpiece 720; a pushing mechanism 500 drives the first clamping mechanism 100 and / or the second clamping mechanism 300 to move relative to each other, so that the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 are engaged.

[0061] The insertion fixture of this application clamps the first workpiece 710 by driving the first clamping part 110 to move relative to the first clamping part 110 through the first clamping drive mechanism 200. It clamps the second workpiece 720 by driving the second clamping part 310 to move relative to the second clamping part 310 through the second clamping drive mechanism 400. The first clamping mechanism 100 and / or the second clamping mechanism 300 are driven to move by the pushing mechanism 500, causing the clamped first workpiece 710 and second workpiece 720 to move relative to each other and achieve insertion. By replacing manual insertion with mechanized insertion, this method improves upon the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient nature of traditional manual insertion, increasing the automation level and efficiency of the production process while reducing labor and production costs. It also addresses the high skill requirements of manual insertion, reducing operational difficulty and skill level requirements, allowing ordinary workers to operate the equipment proficiently after simple training. Furthermore, it addresses the difficulty in standardizing and controlling insertion depth, ensuring consistency in insertion accuracy and position, and improving product yield. Finally, it addresses the low reliability of the insertion process by ensuring the tightness and stability of the insertion between components through tooling structure design, thereby improving product quality. The solution presented in this application achieves standardization and automation of insertion processes, such as tube insertion, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0062] Please see Figure 5 For example, two or more first clamping portions 110 may be provided to clamp the first workpiece 710. For instance, two first clamping portions 110 may clamp the first workpiece 710 on both sides respectively; three first clamping portions 110 may be located on three sides of the first workpiece 710 to further improve the clamping accuracy. Preferably, two first clamping portions 110 are provided, and the first workpiece 710 is placed between the two first clamping portions 110, thereby clamping the first workpiece 710 by the two first clamping portions 110.

[0063] For example, the first clamping drive mechanism 200 can drive one first clamping part 110 to move relative to another clamping part, or it can drive two first clamping parts 110 to move towards each other. Preferably, the first clamping drive mechanism 200 drives the two first clamping parts 110 to move towards each other to ensure the clamping position of the first workpiece 710, thereby ensuring the coaxiality of the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720, reducing the impact of the machining accuracy of the first workpiece 710 on the insertion, and ensuring the insertion quality.

[0064] The first clamping drive mechanism 200 drives the first clamping part 110 to reciprocate. The first clamping drive mechanism 200 can be a drive mechanism such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric telescopic rod, or a combination drive mechanism such as a motor screw.

[0065] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first clamping drive mechanism 200 is a finger cylinder, and two first clamping parts 110 are respectively fixed to the two fingers of the finger cylinder, so that the finger cylinder drives the two first clamping parts 110 to move relative to each other. The relative movement of the two first clamping parts 110 can reduce the influence of the machining accuracy of the first workpiece 710 and ensure that the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 are accurately connected.

[0066] Please see Figure 6 For example, there may be two or more second clamping portions 310 to clamp the second workpiece 720. For instance, two second clamping portions 310 may clamp the second workpiece 720 on both sides respectively; three second clamping portions 310 may be located on three sides of the second workpiece 720 to further improve the clamping accuracy and ensure the coaxiality of the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720. Preferably, there are two second clamping portions 310, with the second workpiece 720 placed between the two second clamping portions 310, thereby clamping the second workpiece 720 by the two second clamping portions 310.

[0067] The second clamping drive mechanism 400 can drive the second clamping part 310 on one side to move relative to the second clamping part 310 on the other side, or it can drive the two second clamping parts 310 to move towards each other. Preferably, the second clamping drive mechanism 400 drives the two second clamping parts 310 to move towards each other to ensure the clamping position of the second workpiece 720, reduce the impact of the machining accuracy of the second workpiece 720 on the insertion, and ensure the insertion quality.

[0068] The first clamping drive mechanism 200 drives the first clamping part 110 to move relative to clamp the first workpiece 710, and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 drives the second clamping part 310 to move relative to clamp the second workpiece 720. The first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 are coaxial, so that the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 can be inserted into each other.

[0069] The second clamping drive mechanism 400 drives the second clamping part 310 to reciprocate. The second clamping drive mechanism 400 can be a drive mechanism such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric telescopic rod, or a combination drive mechanism such as a motor screw.

[0070] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the second clamping drive mechanism 400 is a finger cylinder, and two second clamping parts 310 are respectively fixed to the two fingers of the finger cylinder, so that the finger cylinder drives the two second clamping parts 310 to move relative to each other. The relative movement of the two second clamping parts 310 can reduce the influence of the machining accuracy of the second workpiece 720 and ensure that the second workpiece 720 is accurately inserted into the second workpiece 720.

[0071] For example, the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 are slidably mounted relative to each other to drive the first clamping mechanism 100 and the second clamping mechanism 300 to move relative to each other, so that the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 are inserted into each other.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first clamping drive mechanism 200 is slidably mounted on the mounting base, and the pushing mechanism 500 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base. The pushing mechanism 500 is connected to the first clamping drive mechanism 200, and the pushing mechanism 500 drives the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and the first clamping mechanism 100 to move together toward the second clamping mechanism 300, thereby causing the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 to be inserted.

[0073] In other embodiments, the second clamping drive mechanism 400 is slidably mounted on the mounting base, and the pushing mechanism 500 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base. The pushing mechanism 500 is connected to the second clamping drive mechanism 400 and the second clamping mechanism 300. The pushing mechanism 500 drives the second clamping mechanism 300 to move toward the first clamping mechanism 100, thereby causing the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 to be inserted into each other.

[0074] In some embodiments, both the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 are slidably mounted on the mounting base. The pushing mechanism 500 simultaneously drives the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 to move towards each other, thereby causing the first clamping mechanism 100 and the second clamping mechanism 300 to move towards each other. This allows the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 to be inserted into each other. Two pushing mechanisms 500 can be provided, each driving the first clamping mechanism 100 and the second clamping mechanism 300 to move respectively; alternatively, one pushing mechanism 500 can be provided, which is a double-acting pushing mechanism 500, driving both the first clamping mechanism 100 and the second clamping mechanism 300 to move respectively.

[0075] For example, the pushing mechanism 500 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric telescopic cylinder, or other mechanism that can drive the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and / or the second clamping drive mechanism 400 to reciprocate; the pushing mechanism 500 can also be a combination of a motor and a ball screw, etc., to drive the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and / or the second clamping drive mechanism 400 to reciprocate.

[0076] Of course, in some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 500 may also integrate guiding and sliding functions. For example, the pushing mechanism 500 is provided with a slider, and the pushing mechanism 500 drives the slider to move back and forth. By installing the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and / or the second clamping drive mechanism 400 on the slider, the pushing mechanism 500 drives the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and / or the second clamping drive mechanism 400 to move back and forth.

[0077] For example, the pushing mechanism 500 is a guide rail cylinder. The guide rail cylinder has a slider, and the first clamping drive mechanism 200 is directly or indirectly mounted on the slider, so that the pushing mechanism 500 drives the first clamping drive mechanism 200, the first clamping mechanism 100, and the first workpiece 710 to move together; or, the second clamping drive mechanism 400 is directly or indirectly mounted on the slider, so that the pushing mechanism 500 drives the second clamping drive mechanism 400, the second clamping mechanism 300, and the second workpiece 720 to move together.

[0078] In one embodiment, a connecting plate is provided on the slider, and the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and / or the second clamping drive mechanism 400 are mounted on the connecting plate to facilitate the installation of the first clamping drive mechanism 200 and / or the second clamping drive mechanism 400.

[0079] Please see Figure 1 and 5 In some embodiments, the first clamping mechanism 100 includes a plug-in clamping portion 120.

[0080] The insertion end clamping part 120 is movably disposed at one end of the first clamping part 110 near the second clamping part 310. The insertion end clamping part 120 moves with the first clamping part 110 so that the insertion end clamping part 120 clamps the insertion end of the first workpiece 710.

[0081] For workpieces with relatively soft materials such as pipes, the accuracy of the insertion position of the workpiece's insertion end must be ensured. The first clamping drive mechanism 200 moves the first clamping part 110 with a hard limit. If the first clamping part 110 is driven solely by the first clamping drive mechanism 200, problems such as deformation of the insertion end or insufficient clamping may occur, leading to situations where insertion fails or the insertion accuracy is insufficient, resulting in misalignment and inability to insert. Furthermore, for workpieces such as pipes, the diameter of the insertion end increases as insertion progresses. If the first clamping part 110 is used to clamp the insertion end, the outer periphery of the insertion end will be restricted, preventing the diameter from increasing and potentially causing damage due to compression.

[0082] By providing plug-in end clamping parts 120, the number of plug-in end clamping parts 120 matches the number of first clamping parts 110. For example, if there are two first clamping parts 110, then there are also two plug-in end clamping parts 120, with each clamping part 120 clamping one side of the plug-in end. The plug-in end clamping parts 120 are movably connected to the first clamping parts 110. When the plug-in end is within the tolerance range, the plug-in end clamping parts 120 can effectively clamp the plug-in end, ensuring clamping accuracy and preventing the plug-in end from being squeezed and deformed or not clamped properly, thus ensuring the insertion process. During the insertion process, when the diameter of the plug-in end changes, the plug-in end clamping parts 120 will move relative to the first clamping parts 110, thereby ensuring that the plug-in end has sufficient space to increase in diameter and preventing the plug-in end from being squeezed and damaged.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first clamping mechanism 100 includes an elastic member 130 disposed between the plug-in end clamping portion 120 and the first clamping portion 110. The elastic member 130 applies a force to the plug-in end clamping portion 120 in response to a change in the relative position between the plug-in end clamping portion 120 and the first clamping portion 110, so that the relative position between the plug-in end clamping portion 120 and the first clamping portion 110 is reset.

[0084] The elastic element 130 can also ensure that the insertion end is always clamped, thereby ensuring that the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 can be inserted and connected, ensuring the quality of the insertion end after insertion, and reducing the risk of damage, leakage, and air leakage at the insertion interface.

[0085] By setting the elastic element 130, when the relative position of the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110 changes, the force applied by the elastic element 130 causes the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110 to reset, ensuring that the insertion end clamping part 120 always clamps the insertion end, thereby ensuring that the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 can be inserted, ensuring the quality of the insertion end after insertion, and reducing the risk of damage, leakage, and air leakage at the insertion interface.

[0086] In one embodiment, a clamping area is provided on one side of the insertion end clamping portion 120 that clamps the first workpiece 710, and the shape of the clamping area matches the insertion end of the first workpiece 710.

[0087] For example, the first workpiece 710 is a round tube, and the clamping area is an arc-shaped clamping area. The arc-shaped clamping area matches the outer diameter of the first workpiece 710, thereby ensuring accurate clamping of the insertion end of the first workpiece 710. The pipeline is usually a flexible tube. When the insertion end and the non-insertion end of the first workpiece 710 deform relative to each other, the arc-shaped clamping area can also play a guiding role, adjusting the position of the insertion end during the clamping process to ensure that the insertion end can be accurately clamped in the insertion position.

[0088] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first clamping part 110 includes a clamping part body 112 and a mounting plate 111. The mounting plate 111 is fixedly disposed on the clamping part body 112 and extends toward the second clamping part 310.

[0089] The clamping part body 112 is used to clamp the non-plug end of the first workpiece 710, and the plug end clamping part 120 is used to clamp the plug end of the first workpiece 710. By mounting the mounting plate 111 on the clamping part body 112 and extending it in the direction of the second clamping part 310, the installation of the plug end clamping part 120 can be facilitated, ensuring that the plug end clamping part 120 is installed on the side of the clamping part body 112 close to the second clamping mechanism 300, thereby facilitating the clamping of the plug end.

[0090] The insertion end clamping part 120 is movably mounted on the mounting plate 111, thereby ensuring that the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110 can move relative to each other, ensuring accurate clamping of the insertion end of the first workpiece 710, and adapting to changes in the diameter of the insertion end during the insertion process.

[0091] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 100 includes a connecting shaft 140, which is slidably connected to one of the plug-in end clamping portion 120 and the first clamping portion 110, and fixed to the other, so that the plug-in end clamping portion 120 moves along the direction in which the first clamping portion 110 clamps the first workpiece 710.

[0092] The connecting shaft 140 can be fixed to the first clamping part 110 and slidably connected to the insertion end clamping part 120, thereby allowing the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110 to slide relative to each other. Alternatively, the connecting shaft 140 can be slidably connected to the first clamping part 110 and fixed to the insertion end clamping part 120, thereby allowing the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110 to slide relative to each other. The connecting shaft 140 can restrict the direction of relative movement between the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110, ensuring the clamping accuracy of the insertion end clamping part 120 on the insertion end of the first workpiece 710. At the same time, when the diameter of the insertion end of the first workpiece 710 changes, the insertion end clamping part 120 moves along the direction in which the first clamping part 110 clamps the first workpiece 710, thereby ensuring that the insertion end has sufficient space for diameter change and avoiding damage to the insertion end due to compression.

[0093] Please see Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 100 includes a first limiting part 141, which is disposed at the sliding end of the connecting shaft 140. The first limiting part 141 restricts the connecting shaft 140 from disengaging from the insertion end clamping part 120 or the first clamping part 110.

[0094] The first limiting part 141 is provided at the sliding end of the connecting shaft 140. For example, if the connecting shaft 140 is slidably connected to the plug-in end clamping part 120, the first limiting part 141 is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 140 near the plug-in end clamping part 120; if the connecting shaft 140 is slidably connected to the first clamping part 110, the first limiting part 141 is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 140 near the first clamping part 110. By providing the first limiting part 141, the first limiting part 141 is prevented from disengaging from the plug-in end clamping part 120 or the first clamping part 110, and the relative position of the plug-in end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110 is limited.

[0095] In one embodiment, the connecting shaft 140 is fixed to the mounting plate 111 of the first clamping part 110, and the fixing method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connection, welding connection, and adhesive connection.

[0096] The plug-in end clamping part 120 is provided with a through hole 121. The end of the connecting shaft 140 away from the first clamping part 110 is inserted into the through hole 121 and slides in the through hole 121, so that the connecting shaft 140 slides with the plug-in end clamping part 120.

[0097] To prevent the connecting shaft 140 from disengaging from the plug-in end clamping part 120, a third limiting part 122 is provided at the end of the through hole 121 near the first clamping part 110, and a first limiting part 141 is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 140 away from the first clamping part 110. The third limiting part 122 cooperates with the first limiting part 141, and the connecting shaft 140 is restricted from disengaging from the through hole 121 by the third limiting part 122 and the first limiting part 141, so as to ensure that the connecting shaft 140 and the plug-in end clamping part 120 slide within a preset range and prevent the connecting shaft 140 from disengaging from the plug-in end clamping part 120.

[0098] Of course, in some embodiments, the third limiting part 122 may not be provided in the through hole 121. The connecting shaft 140 passes through the through hole 121, and the first limiting part 141 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the through hole 121, so as to restrict the first limiting part 141 from passing through the through hole 121 by the outer peripheral wall of the through hole 121, thereby restricting the connecting shaft 140 from disengaging from the insertion end clamping part 120.

[0099] Please see Figure 8 In one embodiment, the elastic element 130 includes a spring 131, which is sleeved on the connecting shaft 140.

[0100] The spring 131 has a low cost and controllable elastic force. By sleeved on the connecting shaft 140, it can ensure that the connecting part of the plug-in end applies a certain force to the plug-in end, and effectively clamp the plug-in end; at the same time, it can ensure that the elastic force is within the preset range, avoid excessive elastic force from damaging the plug-in end, ensure the plug-in process, and ensure the quality after plug-in.

[0101] The spring 131 can be fixedly connected to, abut against, etc., the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110.

[0102] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the elastic element 130 includes a mounting portion 132, which is sleeved on and slidably connected to the connecting shaft 140. A spring 131 is fixed to the mounting portion 132 and is located between the mounting portion 132 and the first clamping portion 110.

[0103] The mounting portion 132 abuts against the insertion end clamping portion 120. Compared to the spring 131 directly contacting the insertion end clamping portion 120, the mounting portion 132 has a larger contact area with the insertion end clamping portion 120. This reduces wear on the side of the insertion end clamping portion 120 facing the spring 131. Furthermore, the mounting portion 132 is slidably connected to the connecting shaft 140, ensuring surface contact between the mounting portion 132 and the insertion end clamping portion 120. This guarantees more even force distribution on the contact surfaces, preventing the insertion end clamping portion 120 from tilting or deflecting due to the torsion of the spring 131. Additionally, the mounting portion 132 avoids the risk of the spring 131 being inserted into the through hole 121 of the insertion end clamping portion 120, preventing jamming or deformation of the spring 131 and the insertion end clamping portion 120.

[0104] By providing the mounting part 132, the length of the spring 131 can be shortened, thereby improving the stability of the spring force of the spring 131 and ensuring that the insertion end clamping part 120 stably clamps the first workpiece 710. Providing the mounting part 132 shortens the compressible length of the spring 131, thereby limiting the stroke of the insertion end clamping part 120 and limiting the proximal end of the relative position between the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110. By using the first limiting part 141 and the elastic member 130 to limit the distal and proximal positions of the insertion end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110 respectively, the range of movement of the insertion end driven by the insertion end clamping part 120 is limited, improving the situation where excessive deflection of the insertion end during clamping leads to breakage.

[0105] In other embodiments, a second limiting portion is provided on the connecting shaft 140, which is disposed between the plug-in end clamping portion 120 and the first clamping portion 110, and the second limiting portion limits the proximal distance between the plug-in end clamping portion 120 and the first clamping portion 110.

[0106] The second limiting part is disposed between the plug-in end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110. When the plug-in end clamping part 120 or the first clamping part 110 moves relative to each other to the second limiting part, it stops and limits the proximal end of the relative position of the plug-in end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110. The first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part limit the distal and proximal ends of the plug-in end clamping part 120 and the first clamping part 110, respectively, thereby limiting the range of movement of the plug-in end driven by the plug-in end clamping part 120 and improving the situation where the plug-in end is damaged due to excessive deflection when clamping the plug-in end.

[0107] The second limiting part is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 140. The second limiting part cannot pass through the through hole 121 of the insertion end clamping part 120, thus playing a limiting role.

[0108] In some embodiments, when a second limiting portion is provided on the connecting shaft 140, the elastic element 130 does not include a mounting base.

[0109] In some embodiments, the connecting shaft 140 is a height equalizer screw, the external thread of which is threadedly connected and fixed to the first clamping part 110, and the head of the height equalizer screw is located at the end of the insertion end clamping part 120 away from the first clamping part 110.

[0110] The equal-height screws are convenient to fix to the first clamping part 110. The head of the equal-height screws can also limit the insertion end clamping part 120. It is easy to use, easy to select materials, and has a low cost.

[0111] For example, the plug-in end clamping part 120 is provided with a through hole 121. One end of the equalizing screw away from the first clamping part 110 is inserted into the through hole 121 and slides in the through hole 121. The through hole 121 has a third limiting part 122. The head of the equalizing screw cooperates with the third limiting part 122 to restrict the equalizing screw from disengaging from the plug-in end clamping part 120.

[0112] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first clamping part 110 includes a first clamping groove 113, which matches the side of the first workpiece 710.

[0113] The first clamping groove 113 matches the side of the first workpiece 710. On the one hand, this prevents damage to the first workpiece 710 when the first clamping part 110 clamps it; on the other hand, it ensures stable clamping of the first workpiece 710 by the first clamping part 110. Simultaneously, during the insertion process, it also prevents relative movement between the first workpiece 710 and the first clamping part 110, ensuring accurate insertion depth and improving product quality.

[0114] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 100 includes a first tray 150, the top of the first tray 150 is provided with a first groove 151 that matches the first workpiece 710, and the first workpiece 710 is placed in the first groove 151.

[0115] The first pallet 150 and the first groove 151 facilitate the placement of the first workpiece 710. The first groove 151 positions the first workpiece 710, ensuring the clamping accuracy of the first workpiece 710. The first workpiece 710 is placed in the first groove 151 before clamping, avoiding the situation where the first clamping mechanism 100 clamps the first workpiece 710 when it is manually held or clamped by a robotic arm, thus ensuring the safety of clamping the first workpiece 710 and the insertion operation.

[0116] In one embodiment, the first pallet 150 is fixed relative to the first clamping drive mechanism 200. For example, the first pallet 150 is fixedly disposed on the connecting plate, and the fixing method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connection, welding connection, and adhesive connection.

[0117] The first pallet 150 is used to place the first workpiece 710 and perform initial positioning on the first workpiece 710. During the clamping process of the first workpiece 710, the first clamping drive mechanism 200 only needs to drive the first clamping part 110 to move, and the first pallet 150 does not need to move.

[0118] In one embodiment, the first support plate 150 includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate that are fixed to each other.

[0119] The vertical plate is fixed to the connecting plate, and the horizontal plate is fixed at the end of the vertical plate away from the connecting plate. The horizontal plate spans above the first clamping drive mechanism 200, and the first groove 151 is provided on the top surface of the horizontal plate so that the first workpiece 710 is placed above the horizontal plate.

[0120] The first clamping drive mechanism 200 and other components are placed below, and the first workpiece 710 is placed into the first groove 151 from above, which facilitates the placement of the first workpiece 710 and is beneficial for the insertion work.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first support plate 150 is detachably and fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the detachable fixing method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connection. For example, the vertical plate of the first support plate 150 is detachably fixed to the connecting plate by bolts. The detachable fixing of the first support plate 150 to the connecting plate facilitates the replacement of the first support plate 150 to adapt to different first workpieces 710.

[0122] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the second clamping part 310 includes a second clamping groove 311, which matches the side of the second workpiece 720.

[0123] The second clamping groove 311 matches the side of the second workpiece 720. This serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents damage to the second workpiece 720 when the second clamping part 310 clamps it; secondly, it ensures stable clamping of the second workpiece 720 by the second clamping part 310. Simultaneously, during the insertion process, it prevents relative movement between the second workpiece 720 and the second clamping part 310, ensuring accurate insertion depth and improving product quality.

[0124] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the second clamping mechanism 300 includes a second support plate 320, the top of which is provided with a second groove 321 that matches the second workpiece 720, and the second workpiece 720 is placed in the second groove 321.

[0125] The second pallet 320 facilitates the placement of the second workpiece 720, and the second groove 321 positions the second workpiece 720, thereby ensuring the clamping accuracy of the second workpiece 720, ensuring the accuracy of the insertion process, and improving product quality.

[0126] The second workpiece 720 exposes a second groove 321 and a second clamping portion 310 at its end to ensure that the insertion end can be inserted into the end of the second workpiece 720.

[0127] In one embodiment, the second support plate 320 includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate that are fixed to each other.

[0128] The vertical plate is fixed to the connecting plate, and the horizontal plate is fixed at the end of the vertical plate away from the connecting plate. The horizontal plate spans above the second clamping drive mechanism 400, and two grooves are provided on the top surface of the horizontal plate so that the second workpiece 720 is placed above the horizontal plate.

[0129] The second clamping drive mechanism 400 and other components are placed below, and the second workpiece 720 is placed into the second groove 321 from above, which facilitates the placement of the second workpiece 720 and is beneficial for the insertion work.

[0130] In some embodiments, the second support plate 320 is detachably and fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the detachable fixing method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connection. For example, the vertical plate of the second support plate 320 is detachably fixed to the connecting plate by bolts. The detachable and fixed connection between the second support plate 320 and the connecting plate facilitates the replacement of the second support plate 320 to adapt to different second workpieces 720.

[0131] In one embodiment, a limiting step 322 is formed in the second groove 321, and the limiting step 322 restricts the second workpiece 720 from moving away from the first workpiece 710.

[0132] The limiting step 322 matches the second workpiece 720 to limit the second workpiece 720, thereby preventing the second workpiece 720 from moving relative to the second support plate 320 during the insertion process and ensuring that the insertion is completed.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first clamping part 110 is directly or indirectly detachably connected to the first clamping drive mechanism 200. The second clamping part 310 is directly or indirectly detachably connected to the second clamping drive mechanism 400.

[0134] The first clamping part 110 and the first clamping drive mechanism 200 can be directly and detachably connected, that is, the first clamping part 110 can be detachably installed on the first clamping drive mechanism 200. The detachable installation method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connection and snap-fit ​​connection. The first clamping part 110 and the first clamping drive mechanism 200 can also be indirectly and detachably connected, such as the first clamping part 110 and the first clamping drive mechanism 200 being connected through a mounting part. In this case, the first clamping part 110 and the mounting part are detachably connected and / or the first clamping drive mechanism 200 is detachably connected to the mounting part. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, bolt connection and snap-fit ​​connection.

[0135] The first clamping part 110 is directly or indirectly detachably connected to the first clamping drive mechanism 200, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the first clamping part 110, so that the insertion tooling can be used for clamping and inserting workpieces of different specifications, thereby improving the application range of the insertion tooling.

[0136] Similarly, the second clamping part 310 and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 can be directly and detachably connected, that is, the second clamping part 310 can be detachably mounted on the second clamping drive mechanism 400. The second clamping part 310 and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 can also be indirectly and detachably connected, such as the second clamping part 310 and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 being connected through a mounting member, in which case the second clamping part 310 and the mounting member are detachably connected and / or the second clamping drive mechanism 400 and the mounting member are detachably connected.

[0137] In one embodiment, the insertion tooling includes a limiting member 600, which limits the travel of the first clamping mechanism 100 and / or the second clamping mechanism 300.

[0138] The limiting member 600 cooperates with the pushing mechanism 500. When the pushing mechanism 500 drives the first clamping mechanism 100 to move towards the second clamping mechanism 300, the limiting member 600 restricts the stroke of the first clamping mechanism 100; when the pushing mechanism 500 drives the second clamping mechanism 300 to move towards the first clamping mechanism 100, the limiting member 600 restricts the stroke of the second clamping mechanism 300; when the pushing mechanism 500 simultaneously drives the first clamping mechanism 100 and the second clamping mechanism 300 to move towards each other, the limiting member 600 restricts the stroke of both the first clamping mechanism 100 and the second clamping mechanism 300. By limiting the stroke of the first clamping mechanism 100 and / or the second clamping mechanism 300, the limiting member 600 restricts the insertion depth, improves the standardization of the insertion depth, ensures the consistency of insertion accuracy and position, improves product consistency and pass rate, and improves product quality.

[0139] For example, the pushing mechanism 500 is mounted on the mounting base, and the limiting member 600 is mounted on the mounting base. The slider of the pushing mechanism 500 is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the limiting member 600. When the protrusion abuts against the limiting member 600, the limiting member 600 cooperates with the protrusion to restrict the further movement of the slider, thereby limiting the stroke of the first clamping mechanism 100 and / or the second clamping mechanism 300.

[0140] Taking the insertion of an injection tube as an example, the first workpiece 710 is a pipe, and the second workpiece 720 includes a rigid interface for connecting the pipe. The second workpiece 720 is placed in the second groove 321 of the second support plate 320, with the interface protruding from the second groove 321. The second clamping drive mechanism 400 drives the second clamping part 310 to move and clamp the second workpiece 720. After clamping, the interface protrudes from the second clamping part 310. The first workpiece 710 is placed in the first groove 151 of the first support plate 150. The first clamping drive mechanism 200 drives the first clamping part 110 to move and clamp the first workpiece 710. The insertion end clamping part 120 moves with the first clamping mechanism 100 to clamp the insertion end of the first workpiece 710. The pushing mechanism 500 is connected to the first clamping drive mechanism 200. The pushing mechanism 500 drives the first clamping drive mechanism 200, the first clamping mechanism 100, and the first workpiece 710 to move together toward the second workpiece 720, so that the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 are inserted into each other. When the movement reaches the point where the pushing mechanism 500 and the limiting member 600 cooperate, the pushing mechanism 500 stops moving, and the insertion is completed.

[0141] The first clamping drive mechanism 200 and the second clamping drive mechanism 400 respectively act on the first clamping part 110 and the second clamping part 310, causing the first clamping part 110 and the second clamping part 310 to release the first workpiece 710 and the second workpiece 720 after insertion, allowing for manual or mechanical material removal. The pushing mechanism 500 resets, completing the insertion process and awaiting the next insertion.

[0142] The insertion tooling of this application replaces the original manual insertion with mechanized insertion, improving the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient manual insertion operations, increasing the automation level and production efficiency of the production process, and reducing labor and production costs. It also addresses the issue of high skill requirements for operators in the existing manual insertion process, reducing the difficulty of operation and the skill proficiency requirements, allowing ordinary workers to operate skillfully after simple training. Furthermore, it improves the problem of difficulty in standardizing and controlling the insertion depth, ensuring the consistency of insertion accuracy and position, and improving the product qualification rate. Finally, it addresses the problem of low reliability in the insertion process, ensuring the tightness and stability of the insertion between components through the tooling structure design, thus improving product quality. Therefore, this application effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art and has high utilization value and practical significance.

[0143] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
