Description

Hose Manufacturing Automation System {HOSE MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION SYSTEM}

One embodiment of the invention is directed to a hose manufacturing automation system.

Rubber hoses are generally manufactured by extrusion. For hoses that require precision of the inner circumferential surface, attach the hose body to the outer circumferential surface of a hollow mandrel.

When the hose body is extracted after the hose body is vulcanized by extruding and hosed in this state, a hose body having completed the vulcanization treatment can be obtained.

The hose body may form one layer or may consist of a plurality of layers. As such, a hose requiring precision of the inner circumferential surface includes an automotive intercooler hose.

The manufacture of the hose is performed by hand, and a person carries out the work of demolding by grasping and pulling out the hose on the mandrel on which the vulcanization is completed by hand. That is, the hose can be pulled out by grasping the outside of the hose formed on the mandrel by hand and pulling it.

However, according to such a method, there is a limit in manpower operation due to fatigue and deterioration of efficiency in the process of pulling the hose by hand. There is a long-term limit to the minimum number of skilled workers and limited staffing of this manual demoulding.

The extraction part 300 can perform a hose extraction process with respect to the hose molded part in which the vulcanization process was completed. Each of the molding part 100, the vulcanization part 200, and the extracting part 300 can perform the process with respect to one hose molding part. In addition, the molding unit 100 and the extracting unit 300 may take a process time of about 10 minutes to 12 minutes, and the vulcanization unit 200 may require a process time of about 22 to 26 minutes. That is, the vulcanization unit 200 may take about twice as long process time as the molding unit 100 and the extracting unit 300. Therefore, when the vulcanization unit 200 has the same number as the forming unit 100 and the extracting unit 300, the hose is formed in the forming unit 100 and the extracting unit 300 during the vulcanization process in the vulcanizing unit 200. The part has to wait for a while. In order to solve this problem and improve the efficiency of the entire process, the vulcanization unit 200 in which the vulcanization process can be performed in this embodiment may be provided twice as much as the molding unit 100 and the extracting unit 300. For example, when the molding part 100 and the extracting part 300 are provided in two places, the vulcanization part 200 may be provided in four places. However, the number of the molding part 100, the vulcanization part 200, and the extraction part 300 is not limited thereto.

The movement from the molding unit 100 to the vulcanizing unit 200, the movement from the vulcanizing unit 200 to the extracting unit 300, and the movement from the extracting unit 300 to the forming unit 100 may be automatically performed by a machine. have. In addition, in the extraction unit 300, the extraction process is performed by a robot having an arm connected to the extraction chuck, so that the entire hose manufacturing process can be automated.

That is, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the hose molded part for manufacturing the hose automatically moves between each position (molding part, vulcanization part, extracting part, etc.) where a process necessary for producing a hose is performed, and at each position By automatically making this robot or the like, a hose manufacturing automation system capable of automatically manufacturing various hoses such as large diameter hoses and the like without requiring manpower can be provided.
