Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hose clip mounting device used for temporarily fixing a hose clip to an end of a hose.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As shown in FIG. 3, a hose clip 1 composed of a pair of claws 1a and 1b and an annulus 1c is used to fasten a hose of a small truck or a passenger car. As shown in FIG. 4, this hose clip 1 expands an annulus 1c by sandwiching a pair of claws 1a and 1b with pliers 2, and the tip of the hose 3 is inserted into the expanded annulus 1c. After inserting and inserting, the pliers 2 were expanded and temporarily fixed to the tip of the hose 3.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The temporary fixing work is inefficient because it must be done manually, and there is a risk that the hose clip 1 may come off the pliers 2 and hit a face or the like when the plier 2 expands the diameter.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and its gist is to supply a hose clip consisting of a pair of pawls and a ring to a fitting chamber in a predetermined posture. A supplying means, a diameter expanding means for expanding the diameter of the hose clip ring by pinching a pair of claws of the hose clip loaded in the mounting chamber in a predetermined posture from both sides thereof, and an expanded ring ring. The hose clip mounting device is provided with a releasing means for detecting that the hose is inserted into the inner side of the hose and releasing the pinching pressure by the diameter expanding means.

Pushing means for pushing the hose clip supplied into the mounting chamber toward the diameter expanding means can be additionally provided.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the present invention, since the hose clip is provided with the above configuration, the hose clips are supplied one by one into the mounting chamber by the supplying means in a predetermined posture, and the pair of claws are clamped from both sides thereof by the diameter expanding means. The ring is expanded. When the hose is inserted into this expanded ring, the release means detects it and releases the pinching pressure by the expansion means, so the ring of the hose clip is reduced in diameter by the restoring force and becomes a hose. To be installed.

When the hose clip supplied into the mounting chamber is pushed toward the diameter expanding means by the pushing means, the hose clip is loaded at a predetermined position in a predetermined posture regardless of its dimensional error. The pair of claws can be reliably pressed by the diameter expanding means.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the mounting apparatus, in which an electric excitation type parts feeder 20 is installed on the main body 100, and a hose insertion port 23 and a control panel 24 are provided on the front surface of the main body 100. When a large number of hose clips 1 are put into the bowl 25 of the parts feeder 20, the hose clips 1 are aligned in a predetermined posture by a mechanism (not shown), and are sequentially fed into the main body 100 through the inside of the shooter 26. ..

FIG. 1 shows the details of the mounting mechanism. (A) is a front view, (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of (A), and (C) is C- of (A). Sectional drawing which follows the C line, (D) is sectional drawing of the principal part. The hose clip 1 that has descended in the shooter 26 abuts on the first rod 7a of the supply means 7 in the posture shown in FIG. 1 (A) and is placed thereon. The operation of the cylinder 7c causes the first rod 7a to retract, and at the same time, the operation of the cylinder 7d causes the second rod 7b to advance so that only one hose clip 1 is placed on the second rod 7b. Next, when the first rod 7a advances and the second rod 7b retracts at the same time, the subsequent hose clip 1 is placed on the first rod 7a, and the hose clip 1 on the second rod 7b is removed. It drops and is supplied into the mounting chamber 8 in the illustrated posture. At this time, the shutters 9a, 9b are advanced by the cylinders 9c, 9d to close the front opening of the mounting chamber 8 as shown by the phantom lines in the figure, so that the hose clip 1 that has dropped is mounted. It does not jump out of chamber 8. The front surface of the shooter 26 is covered with a transparent plate 13.

Next, the rod 10a of the pushing means 10 is advanced by the cylinder 10b, and the hose clip 1 loaded in the mounting chamber 8 is pushed toward the diameter expanding means 11. In other words, the hose clip 1 is loaded in a predetermined position in a predetermined posture even if there is a dimensional error. Next, the pair of engaging claws 11a and 11b of the diameter expanding means 11 are advanced by the cylinders 11c and 11d, and the engaging claws 11a and 11b are paired with the pair of hose clips 1 as shown in FIG. 1 (D). The claws 1a, 1b of the hose clip 1 are engaged with each other and are clamped to expand the ring 1c of the hose clip 1. At this time, the rod 10a of the pushing means 10 retracts due to the expansion of the diameter of the ring 1c.

Next, the shutters 9a and 9b retract and the front opening of the mounting chamber 8 opens. Then, when the tip of the hose 3 is inserted from the hose insertion port 23, the hose 3 penetrates the ring 1c of the hose clip 1 and the tip contacts the switch 12a of the releasing means 12. Then, the cylinders 11c and 11d of the diameter-expanding means 11 are operated by the signal from the switch 12a and the engaging claws 11a and 11b retract.

Thus, the ring 1c of the hose clip 1 is reduced in diameter by its restoring force to grip the hose 3, and the hose clip 1 is temporarily fixed to the hose 3. When the hose 3 is pulled out in this state, the shutters 9a and 9b move forward to close the front opening of the mounting chamber 8. After that, the above is repeated.

Thus, the hose clip 1 can be attached to the hose 3 simply by inserting the tip of the hose 3 into the hose insertion port 23. Therefore, the work of mounting the hose clip 1 is facilitated, its efficiency is improved, and the hose clip 1 can be prevented from scattering. The shutters 9a and 9b can be omitted if the chute 26 is gently inclined.

[Effect of the device]

 In the present invention, the hose clips are supplied and loaded one by one into the mounting chamber by the supply means in a predetermined posture, and the diameter of the ring is expanded by pinching the pair of claws from both sides by the diameter expansion means. It When the hose is inserted into the expanded ring, the release means detects it and releases the pinching force by the expansion means, and the hose clip ring is reduced in diameter by the restoring force and attached to the hose. It As a result, the mounting work of the hose clip can be performed easily and quickly, and the hose clip can be prevented from scattering during the mounting work. When the hose clip supplied into the mounting chamber is pushed by the pushing means toward the diameter expanding means, the pair of claws can be reliably pinched by the diameter expanding means regardless of the dimensional error of the hose clip.
