[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments (for ease of description and understanding, the following refers to...). Figure 1 (The above is described above). Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a lifting device, comprising:
[0028] The tooling fixture 3 includes an active side fixture 31 and a driven side fixture 32. The active side fixture 31 and the driven side fixture 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylindrical workpiece 2 for clamping and fixing the cylindrical workpiece 2. The active side fixture 31 includes a vertical rod 311, a clamping plate 312, a locking plate 315, a connecting shaft 316, a bearing 317, and a shift fork 318. The upper and lower ends of the vertical rod 311 are respectively provided with clamping plates 312. The locking plate 315 is fixed to one side of the vertical rod 311. The connecting shaft 316 is provided on one side of the vertical rod 311. The outer side of the connecting shaft 316 is provided with a bearing 317. One end of the connecting shaft 316 is provided with a shift fork 318. The upper end of the support base 13 is provided with a support block 5. The bearing 317 is placed on the support block 5. The driven side fixture 32 and the active side fixture 31 are the same except that the active side fixture 31 has a shift fork 318.
[0029] The outer side of the vertical rod 311 is provided with a sliding groove 314, and both ends of the vertical rod 311 are provided with sliders 319. The sliders 319 are slidably connected in the sliding groove 314. One end of the slider 319 is connected to the clamping plate 312 through a C-shaped block 313. The slider 319 is provided with a screw hole. The slider 319 and the vertical rod 311 are clamped and positioned by a bolt threaded into the screw hole. By setting the slider 319 and the sliding groove 314, the distance between the upper and lower clamping plates 312 can be adjusted according to the height of different cylindrical workpieces 2, so as to clamp and fix cylindrical workpieces 2 of different heights.
[0030] The clamping plate 312 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the cylindrical workpiece 2. Threaded holes are evenly distributed on both the upper and lower end faces of the cylindrical workpiece 2. The clamping plate 312 is provided with holes corresponding to the threaded holes. In order to ensure that there is no relative movement between the cylindrical workpiece 2 and the clamping plate 312 during assembly, the cylindrical workpiece 2 can be fixed by screwing in bolts by providing holes on the clamping plate 312 that match the threaded holes on the cylindrical workpiece 2.
[0031] The support assembly 1 is set at the upper end of the tooling fixture 3 and connected to the tooling fixture. It is used to lift the cylindrical workpiece 2 and move it on the roller bed. The support assembly 1 includes a slide rod 11, a gantry 12 and a support seat 13. The gantry 12 is welded from multiple square tubes. Two slide rods 11 are symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the gantry 12. The slide rods 11 move along the rollers on the roller bed. Two support seats 13 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the gantry 12 and are used to connect to the tooling fixture 3.
[0032] A crank rotation mechanism 4 is located on one side of the tooling fixture 3 and is used to drive the tooling fixture 3 to rotate. To optimize the structure, the crank rotation mechanism 4 is connected to one end of the active side fixture 31 in the tooling fixture 3. The crank rotation mechanism 4 includes a first servo motor 41, a first reducer 42, a crank 43, a rolling bearing 44, and an extension shaft 45. The first servo motor 41 is connected to the first reducer 42. The crank 43 is mounted on the output shaft of the first reducer 42. An extension shaft 45 is provided at one end of the crank 43. A rolling bearing 44 is provided on the outer side of the extension shaft 45. The extension shaft 45 passes through the through hole 14 on the support base 13 and the rolling bearing 44 is connected to the shift fork 318. The crank 43 is rotated by the operation of the first servo motor 41 and the first reducer 42, and then the tooling fixture 3 is rotated by the connection between the rolling bearing 44 and the shift fork 318, thereby controlling the rotation of the cylindrical workpiece 2.
[0033] The locking mechanism 7 is fixed to one side of the support assembly 1 and is used to lock the workpiece in position after it has been rotated. To optimize the structure, the locking mechanism 7 acts on one end of the driven side clamp 32 in the tooling fixture 3. The locking mechanism 7 includes a mounting base 71, a connecting rod 72, a first clamping arm 73, a second clamping arm 74, a locking bolt 75, a pin 76, an electric cylinder 77, a second servo motor 78, and a second reducer 79. The mounting base 71 is located on one side of the support assembly 1. The first clamping arm 73 is located above the mounting base 71, and the second clamping arm 74 is located below the first clamping arm 73. One end of the first clamping arm 73 and the second clamping arm 74 are rotatably connected by the pin 76. The lower end of arm 74 is connected to mounting base 71 via locking bolt 75. The lower end of first clamping arm 73 is connected to connecting rod 72. Connecting rod 72 is connected to push-pull shaft of electric cylinder 77. One end of electric cylinder 77 is connected to output shaft of second reducer 79 via toothed belt. Second reducer 79 is connected to second servo motor 78. Clamping ends of first clamping arm 73 and second clamping arm 74 correspond to the position of locking disc 315. First clamping arm 73, second clamping arm 74 and pin 76 constitute a lever mechanism. Push-pull action of electric cylinder 77 is amplified by first clamping arm 73 and second clamping arm 74 and applied to locking disc 315, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of cylindrical workpiece 2.
[0034] During operation: When the angle of the cylindrical workpiece 2 needs to be adjusted, the first servo motor 41 and the first reducer 42 are controlled to operate. Under the rotation of the crank 43 and the rolling bearing 44, the fork 318 on the active side clamp 31 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the tooling clamp 3 to rotate, so that the cylindrical workpiece 2 rotates to a certain angle to facilitate the worker's assembly operation. After rotating to the correct position, the second servo motor 78 and the second reducer 79 are started, and the rotational motion is converted into the push-pull linear motion of the electric cylinder 77 through the toothed belt. By pulling down the first clamping arm 73, the clamping jaws of the first clamping arm 73 and the second clamping arm 74 clamp the locking plate 315, thereby fixing the position of the cylindrical workpiece 2.
[0035] A conveyor line, such as the lifting device described above, can adjust the angle of the cylindrical workpiece 2 according to the worker's requirements for the assembly position and angle, eliminating the need for workers to squat or stand on the frame, reducing the difficulty of operation, and realizing fully automated control of the line.
[0036] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
