DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] For example 1, please refer to Figure 1A flexible disassembly platform for complex automotive parts includes an integral frame 1. A lower base plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the integral frame 1. A storage box 12, a tool box 13 and a rotary workbench 2 are installed on the lower base plate 11. The storage box 12 and the tool box 13 are used to store disassembled parts and disassembly tools, which is convenient for disassembly personnel to take disassembly tools and store parts when disassembling workpieces, thereby improving disassembly efficiency. A lifting base 14 is provided on the back of the integral frame 1, and a lifting clamping mechanism 3 is installed on the lifting base 14. A flip mechanism 4 is provided on the lifting clamping mechanism 3. Rectangular guide rails 15 are provided on both sides of the top of the integral frame 1. A lifting mechanism 5 is installed between the two rectangular guide rails 15, and a buffer deceleration device 6 is installed on the lifting mechanism 5.

[0024] like Figure 2 The rotary worktable 2 includes four small bevel gears 21 arranged around the lower base plate 11, one of the small bevel gears 21 is connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 22 on the lower base plate 11, and a horizontally arranged large bevel gear 23 is meshed between the four small bevel gears 21. A circular work table 24 is fixed on the top of the large bevel gear 23, and an oil collection port is opened in the center of the circular work table 24. A baffle is provided on the edge of the circular work table 24, and an oil collection tank 25 is provided at the bottom of the lower base plate 11 below the oil collection port.

[0025] like Figure 3 The lifting and clamping mechanism 3 includes a longitudinal screw module 31, which is mounted on the front side of the lifting base 14. A lifting slider 32 is mounted on the longitudinal screw module 31, and transverse screw modules 33 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lifting slider 32. Both transverse screw modules 33 are provided with T-shaped clamping plates 34. Position sensors 35 are provided at both ends of the longitudinal screw module 31 and the transverse screw module 33 to prevent hard collisions. The motor in the longitudinal screw module 31 drives the rotation of the longitudinal screw to make the lifting slider 32 mounted on the longitudinal screw rise and fall along the guide rails on both sides of the lifting base 14, and the rotation of the motor in the transverse screw module 33 can drive the T-shaped clamping plate 34 on the transverse screw to move closer or further away.

[0026] like Figure 4 The flipping mechanism 4 includes a flexible clamp 41 and a reduction motor 43 installed on the outside of the T-shaped clamping plate 34 through a motor bracket 42. The flexible clamp 41 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the T-shaped clamping plate 34 through a bearing 45, and the rotating shaft of the flexible clamp 41 is connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 43 through a coupling 44.

[0027] The flexible clamp 41 includes a clamp base plate 411 connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 2 43. A plurality of slots are provided on the side of the clamp base plate 411 away from the reduction motor 2 43. A support column 413 is connected to the slot through a reset spring 412. The flexible clamp 41 can be replaced according to the size of the workpiece to ensure clamping reliability.

[0028] like Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 5 includes a horizontal slide 51 and a translation drive assembly 52. ​​An electric hoist 53 is installed in the middle of the horizontal slide 51. The two ends of the bottom of the horizontal slide 51 are connected to the rectangular guide rail 15 through two sets of V-shaped rollers 54. The V-shaped rollers 54 can support the horizontal slide 51 while ensuring that the horizontal slide 51 runs more smoothly along the rectangular guide rail 15. The translation drive assembly 52 includes a straight rack 521 located on the inner side of one of the rectangular guide rails 15, a reduction motor 3 522 installed at one end of the horizontal slide 51, and a driving gear 523 connected to the output end of the reduction motor 3 522. The driving gear 523 is engaged with the straight rack 521. The rotation of the reduction motor 3 522 can drive the driving gear 523 to rotate, thereby driving the horizontal slide 51 to move along the rectangular guide rail 15 through the cooperation of the driving gear 523 and the straight rack 521.

[0029] When it is necessary to disassemble complex automobile parts, the staff lifts the workpiece onto the rotary workbench 2 through the lifting mechanism 5. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the workpiece, the reduction motor 22 is started, and the small bevel gear 21 rotates accordingly. Under the action of the large bevel gear 23, the workpiece rotates on the circular worktable surface 24; when the position of the workpiece is adjusted to a suitable angle, the reduction motor 22 is turned off, and the longitudinal screw module 31 and the transverse screw module 33 are started to clamp and adjust the height of the workpiece; during the clamping process, the support column 413 on the flexible clamp 41 will be compressed to a hard contact state after contacting the workpiece, so that the workpiece is clamped and constrained by the support column 413 of the flexible clamp 41. At this time, the workpiece can be turned over by starting the reduction motor 2 43, so that different surfaces of the workpiece can be disassembled; when the waste oil and waste liquid in the workpiece need to be discharged, they can be collected through the oil collection box 25 under the rotary workbench 2.

[0030] Example 2, based on Example 1, Figure 6 、 7and 8. A buffer deceleration device 6 is provided on the side of the horizontal slide 51 away from the straight rack 521. The buffer deceleration device 6 includes a deceleration bracket 61 and a brake guide rail 62 fixed to the inner side of another rectangular guide rail 15. Triangular guide blocks are provided at both ends of the brake guide rail 62. The deceleration bracket 61 is fixed to the side of the bottom surface of the horizontal slide 51 away from the straight rack 521. A brake slider 63 is installed on the inner side of the deceleration bracket 61 through a guide rod. The guide rod is located on the outer side of the deceleration bracket 61 and is provided with a compression spring 64 and a limit head for limiting the compression spring 64. Cam rockers 65 are hinged on both sides of the deceleration bracket 61. One end of the cam rocker 65 rests on the limit plate on the side of the brake slider 63 away from the deceleration bracket 61; a slide rod 66 is installed between the two ends of the inner cavity of the brake slider 63 away from the deceleration bracket 61. A sleeve 67 is sleeved on the slide rod 66, and a brake slider 68 is fixed on the sleeve 67. Buffer springs 69 are provided between the sleeve 67 and both ends of the slide rod 66.

[0031] When the lifting mechanism 5 is in the process of lifting the workpiece, when the lifting mechanism 5 moves to the front and rear ends, the end of the cam rocker 65 is acted upon by the triangular guide block of the brake guide rail 62, causing the cam rocker 65 to rotate around the hinge on the deceleration bracket 61; in this way, under the pushing action of the cam rocker 65, the brake slider 63 presses the brake slider 68 toward the brake guide rail 62 and brakes it, and the lifting mechanism 5 continues to move forward due to inertia. At this time, the brake slider 63 compresses the buffer spring 69 to slow down to a stop. In order to prevent the lifting mechanism 5 from getting stuck at both ends, the brake slider 63 and the brake slider 68 are separated; when the lifting mechanism 5 is ready to move in the opposite direction, the brake slider 68 still cannot separate from the brake guide rail 62 due to the action of the cam rocker 65. The brake slider 63 can only slide relative to the slide rod 66 and the sleeve 67 under the action of the buffer spring 69 until the brake slider 63 moves away from the brake guide rail 62 under the action of the compression spring 64, and the lifting mechanism 5 moves normally.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements that are inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0033] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
