Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of differential machine parts processing, and more specifically, to a rotation positioning device for a left case of a differential machine. Background Art

[0002] The automobile differential is a mechanism that enables the left and right drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It is mainly composed of left and right half-shaft gears, two planetary gears and left and right housings. Its function is to make the left and right wheels roll at different speeds when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, that is, to ensure that the drive wheels on both sides perform pure rolling motion.

[0003] When installing the left housing of the automobile differential, certain positioning is required so that the left housing can be rotated to a predetermined equal-distance engagement angle before the next installation step can be performed. In the prior art, positioning and installation are usually performed by manpower, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a rotation positioning device for the left housing of a differential gear which is convenient, accurate and efficient in positioning.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a rotation positioning device for a left housing of a differential gear, comprising a support frame and a workbench arranged on the support frame, the workbench is provided with a first through hole penetrating from top to bottom, a fixing table is arranged around the through hole on the upper end surface of the workbench, and the fixing table is provided with a second through hole penetrating to the first through hole; a compression table is arranged above the fixing table, the compression table is provided with a third through hole penetrating to the second through hole, a card slot arranged around the upper end surface of the compression table is arranged, and the lower end surface of the compression table and the upper end surface of the workbench are fixed by a compression member;

[0007] A mounting plate is fixed on the side wall of the compression table, and a sensor is mounted on the mounting plate; a sensing device is provided on the upper surface of the working table on the same side as the mounting plate;

[0008] A driving device is provided on the lower end surface of the workbench. A rotating shaft is fixed at one end of the driving device. The rotating shaft passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence and is placed in the third through hole. The driving device drives the storage table to rotate by controlling the rotating shaft.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the present invention, the user places the workpiece on the compression table. At this time, the workpiece does not touch the storage table. Under the action of gravity, the workpiece presses down on the compression table, and the compression table presses down on the compression spring. The compression table moves downward, and the lower end of the workpiece also moves downward. After the lower end of the workpiece is placed on the storage table, the displacement stops. At the same time, the sensor fixed to the side wall of the compression table through the mounting plate is detached from the sensing device. The detached sensor sends a command to the corresponding control system. After receiving the command, the control system instructs the drive device to run. The drive device controls the rotating shaft to drive the storage table to rotate. Under the action of friction, The storage table drives the workpiece to rotate. After the convex strip of the workpiece is embedded in the groove, the workpiece is successfully positioned and will no longer be driven to rotate by the storage table. At this time, the workpiece can be grabbed by the clamp for further operation. After the clamp takes the workpiece away, the external force on the compression table disappears, the compression spring is reset, and the sensor rises to the sensing device again. The sensor receives a stop signal and sends it to the control system. The control system instructs the drive device to stop running, thereby stopping the rotation of the storage table. The present invention does not require the user to perform manual positioning, the equipment is simple, and ultimately achieves the purpose of convenient and accurate positioning and efficient work of the present invention.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: a compression groove matched with the upper end surface of the fixed platform is provided on the lower end surface of the compression platform, and the upper end surface of the fixed platform is embedded in the compression groove after the compression platform is pressed downward.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the compression platform can wrap the compression groove to the upper end surface of the fixed platform when pressing down, thereby reducing the shaking amplitude of the compression platform when pressing down, ensuring that the present invention is more stable when used.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: a plurality of partitioned fixed grooves are provided on the upper end surface of the fixed platform surrounding the second through hole, and a sliding hole is provided at the bottom of the fixed groove; the compression member comprises a compression spring and a compression tube connected to each other, one end of the compression tube is fixed to the lower end surface of the compression platform, and one end of the compression spring is fixed to the fixed groove; a limiting rod is provided in the compression tube, one end of the limiting rod is fixed to the lower end surface of the compression platform, and the other end extends into the sliding hole and is slidably connected thereto.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, while satisfying the basic compression function, the limit rod can help the compression spring to withstand lateral bending stress, thereby preventing the compression spring from being deformed by the lateral bending stress and further improving the service life of the compression component.

[0014] The present invention is further configured as follows: the driving device includes a driving cylinder and a rocker arm, the driving cylinder includes a telescopic end, one end of the driving cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the workbench through a fixing column, and the telescopic end is connected to a hinge block; a hinge groove is opened at one end of the hinge block, one end of the rocker arm is inserted into the hinge groove, and a fixing rod is provided on one side of the hinge block, which passes through this side of the hinge block in sequence and is inserted into the other side of the hinge block after the rocker arm; one end of the rocker arm is fixed to the rotating shaft.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the hinge block and the rocker arm are set to be hinged, and the rocker arm can rotate relatively here. At the same time, the other end of the rocker arm is fixed to the rotating shaft, so that the effect of driving the telescopic end of the cylinder to rotate the telescopic rocker arm, and the rotation of the rocker arm drives the rotating shaft to rotate can be achieved. This structure is economical and simple, and only one driving cylinder and hinge connection structure are needed to achieve the rotation effect, which saves production costs for manufacturers.

This structure is simple and practical, and further helps producers save production costs.

[0018] The present invention is further configured as follows: a fastening tube is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and one end of the fastening tube is fixed to the lower end surface of the workbench.
