1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB, and FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. 4 showing a mounting device, FIG. 5 showing a concept of inserting a hose into a connection tool (pipe), and FIG. 6 showing a finished product.

The hoses 22, 22 are provided at both ends of the pipe 23.
Although two sets of insertion devices for inserting are inserted in FIG. 1, since they are installed at symmetric positions, the mechanism of one of the insertion devices will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, bearings 7 for the ball screw 2 are installed at both ends of the base 1.
The ball screw 2 is provided with a motor 6 that can be rotated forward and backward, a pulley 3,
4, forward and reverse rotation is possible through the belt 5,
The main reciprocating means 98 is constituted.

[0007] A pair of moving bodies 15 are mounted on the ball screw 2 on the left and right sides. A mounting plate 15a is fixed to the moving bodies 15 and the ball screw 2 and the ball screw 2 are mounted on the mounting plate 15a. Guide body 1 at right angles
7 is fixed. The block body 16 is slidably mounted on the guide body 17, and the main reciprocating means 98 causes the guide body 17 (block body 16) to reciprocate left and right to approach each other. , Go away. The support plate 8 is fixed to the mounting plate 15a, and the cylinder 21 and the rack 19 constituting the sub reciprocating means 99 are fixed to the support plate 8.

The rod 21a of the cylinder 21 is
It is connected to the connecting rod 20 and is attached to the block body 16 via a bracket 21b. The movement of the block body 16 is stopped by a stopper 28, and the movement is restricted. The connecting rod 20 reciprocates while being supported by the support plate 27, and operates another fitting device (not shown).

Also, the relay gear 1 screwed to the rack 19
8 and a jig gear 26 screwed to the relay gear 18 to rotate a rotating shaft 14 described later. Therefore, the sub reciprocating means 99 (cylinder 2
In the reciprocating motion 1), the block body 16 is reciprocated back and forth and the rotating shaft 14 is rotated.

A rotary shaft 14 is mounted on the block body 16 via a bearing 14a, and the jig gear 26 is fitted and fixed to the rotary shaft 14. The rotary shaft 14 is provided with a hose fixing means composed of a clamp cylinder 10, a hose support 13 and a hose retainer 11. The rotation shaft 14 has a bracket 13a.
, The hose support 13 and the clamp cylinder 10 are attached, and a support 22a for supporting the distal end of the hose 22 is provided. The rod 10a of the clamp cylinder 10 is provided with a concave hose holding body 11 via a bracket 12.

Next, a description will be given of a mounting device of the stopper 40 shown in FIG.
a and 40b are circular spring metal pieces formed. A fitting cylinder 41 is attached to the hose support 13, and a vertical operating rod 42 is attached to a rod 41 a thereof. The operating rod 42 is a reciprocating right pressing body 4.
3, a groove 43a for mounting the claw 40a of the stopper 40 is formed at the end of the right pressing body 43.

A rack 43b is formed on the right pressing member 43, and a rack 45b of the left pressing member 45 is screwed through a gear 44 screwed with the rack 43b. Therefore, the left pressing member 45 reciprocates by the reciprocating motion of the right pressing member 43. At the end of the left pressing body 45, a groove 45a for mounting the claw 40b of the stopper 40 is formed. Therefore, by the operation of the fitting cylinder 41, the right pressing body 43 and the left pressing body 45 cause the claw 40 of the stopper 40 to move.
When a and 40b come into contact with each other, the stopper 40 becomes substantially circular and forms a gap with the pipe 23.

The pipe 23 is supported by pipe supports 35 provided at both ends. In the center of the block body 16, a pipe fixing means constituted by the pipe support base 35, the pipe cylinder 30, and the pipe pressing body 24 is provided.
A pipe presser 24 is attached to the rod 30a which is moved up and down by the pipe cylinder 30. The pipe holding member 24 rotates 90 ° (24 'shown by a broken line in FIG. 1) as the rod 30a rises, and rotates 90 ° as it descends (24 as a solid line in FIG. 1). . This operation facilitates installation of the pipe 23 and removal of the hose 22 after installation.

Next, the operation of the fitting device having the above-described configuration will be described. First, the pipe 23 is placed on the pipe support 35 and the hose 22 is set on the hose support 13, and then the stopper 40 is attached to the pipe 23. Attach to the end.
Thereafter, the pipe cylinder 30 descends, and the pipe holding body 2
4 is rotated by 90 ° and the pipe 23 is pressed and fixed. Next, when the fitting cylinder 41 is operated, the right pressing body 43 moves rightward, and the left pressing body 45 moves leftward via the gear 44, so that the claws 40a and 40b move to the positions shown in FIG. As shown, the stopper 40 becomes circular and forms a gap with the pipe 23.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, when the sub reciprocating means 99 (cylinder 21) is moved forward, the block body 16 moves forward while the rack 19, the relay gear 18, the jig gear 26 , Via a rotating shaft 14. for that reason,
The tip of the hose 22 is attached to the end of the pipe 23 (FIG. 5).
(A-C)). As described above, in order to insert the hose 22 into the pipe 23, if the hose 22 is inserted straight from the end of the pipe 23, particularly, a pipe having a projection for preventing the pipe from coming off is formed with a frictional resistance. Does not work. Therefore, as in the present invention, the hose 22 can be smoothly mounted by adopting a step of inserting the hose 22 while using both straight movement and rotation so that the hose 22 is first inserted sequentially from one end of the pipe 23. It is desirable that the pipe or the hose be mounted after applying a lubricating material.

Thereafter, the ball screw 2 is slightly reversed via the motor 6, pulleys 3, 4 and the belt 5 constituting the main reciprocating means 98. This operation is performed while rotating the pipe 23.
The hose 22 inserted in the above is for correcting the appearance so as to become a substantially straight line from the curved appearance. Thereafter, when the ball screw 2 is rotated forward by the main reciprocating means 98 to bring the block bodies 16 closer to each other, the hose 22 is inserted deeper into the pipe 23. The hose 22 is inserted into a gap between the stopper 40 and the pipe 23.

Next, when the fitting cylinder 41 is returned to its original position, the claws 40a and 40b are detached from each other, and the stopper 40 acts as a metal spring to clamp the hose 23. Then, the pipe cylinder 30 is raised, and the pipe holding body 24 is moved.
By 90 ° to remove the presser of the pipe 23,
The clamp cylinder 10 is returned to its original position to stop the hose 22 from being pinched. After that, the pipe 23 and the hose 22 are attached, and the product clamped by the stopper 40 is taken out. Then, by returning the main reciprocating means 98 and the sub reciprocating means 99 to the original state and repeating the above-mentioned work, the mounting work becomes efficient.

As described above, if the pipe 23 and the hose 22 are set by automating the pipe fixing means, the hose fixing means, the main reciprocating means and the sub reciprocating means, then the pipe 23 and the hose 22 can be automatically mounted. By attaching the mounting device, the stopper can also be automatically mounted, so that the working efficiency can be improved unlike the conventional case. Needless to say, the pipe fixing means, the hose fixing means, the main reciprocating means and the sub reciprocating means can be constituted by appropriately selecting the cylinder, the motor and the like.

[0019]

According to the hose insertion device of the first aspect, unlike the conventional manual operation, it is possible to automate the insertion of the hose into the pipe, thereby improving the operation efficiency. or,
In the hose insertion device according to the second aspect, since a stopper can be attached, the work efficiency can be further improved.
