Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts assembly technology, specifically to an automated assembly tooling for installing and releasing plastic connector clamps. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the hose and plastic connector are fixed together using clamps. One end of the hose is fitted onto the other end of the plastic connector, and then the clamp is used to secure it. Currently, this is generally done manually. While this method can be completed relatively well, because the hose is a flexible tube rather than a rigid tube, precise axial positioning cannot be achieved when it is fitted onto the plastic structure, leaving some room for adjustment. The most efficient installation method involves applying axial pressure to the hose, ensuring that the end of the hose fits snugly against the plastic structure, and then tightening the clamp to guarantee a proper fit. However, this assembly method requires multiple operators. This presents the following disadvantages: the assembly process is highly dependent on manual labor, the steps are complex, leading to low efficiency; it is difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each assembly, resulting in significant errors; the assembly speed is slow, making it difficult to meet the time requirements of large-scale production; and the assembly quality is affected by the operator's skill level and working condition, resulting in poor stability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide an automated assembly fixture for installing and releasing plastic joints by mechanically driving contour blocks and clamps to perform assembly actions, thereby fixing and releasing the clamps. A tooling platform serves as the foundation, supporting all the aforementioned components and ensuring overall stability.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide an automated assembly tooling for installing and releasing plastic connector clamps, which includes a base plate, a contour block base, a hose contour block positioning block, and a clamp positioning block. The contour block base, hose contour block positioning block, and clamp positioning block are all mounted on the base plate. The top of the contour block base has a first groove for placing and positioning the plastic connector. The top of the hose contour block positioning block has a second groove for placing and positioning the hose. The top of the clamp positioning block has a third groove for placing and positioning the clamp. The side of the clamp positioning block has a first push rod, the front end of which passes through the clamp positioning block and abuts against the driving end of the positioning clamp placed in the third groove. The hose contour block positioning block is fixed on a sliding platform. The base plate is equipped with a second push rod for pushing the hose contour block positioning block and the sliding platform to slide linearly together. A first pressure block is provided above the contour block base, and a second pressure block is provided above the hose contour block positioning block. In the working state, the plastic connector is placed in the first groove, the hose is placed in the second groove, and the clamp is placed in the third groove. The first pressure block presses down and clamps the plastic connector in the first groove, and the second pressure block presses down and clamps the hose in the second groove. The first push rod works and pushes the driving end of the clamp inward to open the clamp. The second push rod works and pushes the hose contour block positioning block forward so that the front end of the hose passes through the clamp and is embedded in the plastic connector. The first push rod and the second push rod are reset one after the other, and the first pressure block and the second pressure block are reset.

[0005] The first push rod and the second push rod are each connected to a cylinder, which is driven by the piston rod of the cylinder.

[0006] The first and second pressure blocks are each connected to a cylinder and mounted on the top of the bracket. The piston rod of the cylinder faces downward, driving the first and second pressure blocks to press down and rise.

[0007] The contour block base and the clamp positioning block are installed close together. The bottom surface of the first pressure block has an upward recessed notch. After the first pressure block and the contour block base are pressed together, there is a gap between the bottom surface of the first pressure block and the top of the clamp placed in the clamp positioning block.

[0008] The bottom surface of the third groove is also provided with a positioning groove for the locking end of the clamp to be embedded and positioned.

[0009] The hose conformal positioning block includes a positioning block, which is fixed to the tail end of the second groove and used to position the hose within the second groove for installation. With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages: The plastic connector is placed in the first groove, the rubber tube is placed in the second groove, and the clamp is placed in the third groove. The first pressure block presses down and tightens the plastic connector in the first groove, and the second pressure block presses down and tightens the rubber tube in the second groove. The first push rod works and pushes the driving end of the clamp inward to open the clamp. The second push rod works and pushes the rubber tube contour block positioning block forward, so that the front end of the rubber tube passes through the clamp and is embedded in the plastic connector. The first push rod and the second push rod reset sequentially, and the first pressure block and the second pressure block reset, so that the plastic connector, rubber tube, and clamp are all accurately positioned, thus ensuring the fixed position of the plastic connector and rubber tube before and after clamping. 2. The first push rod works and pushes the driving end of the clamp inward to open the clamp. The cylinder drives the contour block and clamp to perform assembly actions through mechanical transmission to fix and release the clamp, realizing automated assisted assembly process. 3. Stability and reliability of the assembly process: Measures to ensure assembly accuracy and quality. Attached Figure Description

In the working state, the plastic connector 101 is placed in the first groove 5, the hose 102 is placed in the second groove 6, and the clamp 103 is placed in the third groove 7. The first pressure block 11 presses down and clamps the plastic connector 101 on the first groove 5, and the second pressure block 12 presses down and clamps the hose 102 on the second groove 6. The first push rod 8 works and pushes the driving end of the clamp inward to open the clamp. The second push rod 10 works and pushes the hose contour block positioning block 3 forward, so that the front end of the hose 102 passes through the clamp 103 and is embedded in the plastic connector 101. The first push rod 8 and the second push rod 10 are reset one after the other, and the first pressure block 11 and the second pressure block 12 are reset.

[0023] The first push rod 8 and the second push rod 10 are each connected to a cylinder, which is driven by the piston rod of the cylinder.
