Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cylinder head processing technology, specifically relating to a cylinder head processing and transmission device with a flipping function. Background Technology
[0002] During the cylinder head manufacturing process, molding sand, chips, burrs, and other debris can be generated, potentially clogging the cylinder head. Additionally, oil, water, and other foreign matter from the machining process can also clog the cylinder head, affecting cylinder performance. To remove these foreign objects, cleaning is necessary during cylinder head manufacturing.
[0003] There are also some technical solutions for cylinder head cleaning in the existing technology, such as a Chinese patent with publication number CN106241339B, which discloses a cylinder head transport line that uses clamping grooves to hold the cylinder head and drive the cylinder head to move. During the moving and transporting process, the cylinder head is washed, and the cylinder heads on the transport line can be processed in batches.
[0004] However, in this patent, the cylinder head cannot rotate relative to the water pipe when it is clamped, and the part of the cylinder head that is washed is the part facing the water pipe, making it difficult to clean the entire cylinder head, which limits the cleaning effect of the cylinder head and results in the need for secondary cleaning of the cylinder head. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cylinder head processing and transfer device with a flipping function in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A cylinder head processing and conveying device with a flipping function is used for cleaning cylinder heads. It includes a base plate, on which two conveyors are fixedly mounted. Each of the two conveyors is fixedly mounted with a plurality of corresponding support blocks. The support blocks are provided with intersecting inclined surfaces No. 1 and No. 2.
[0008] Both of the support blocks have reciprocating motion components on their side walls at the first inclined surface;
[0009] When the support block moves above the conveyor, the first and second inclined surfaces form a downward indentation, and the cylinder head is placed horizontally on the two corresponding support blocks. When the support block moves, the reciprocating motion component drives the bottom of the cylinder head upward, causing the cylinder head to slide on the second inclined surface. Under the action of the reciprocating motion component, the cylinder head is flipped.
[0010] Preferably, the reciprocating motion assembly includes a wheel rotatably mounted on a support block, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the wheel at a non-central position, a crank rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, a guide rod rotatably connected to the crank, and the guide rod movably mounted on the support block.
[0011] The outer ring of the wheel contacts the upper surface of the base plate. As the support block moves, the wheel rotates under the action of friction, causing the crank to drive the guide rod to move up and down reciprocally. The highest point of the guide rod's movement trajectory is higher than the height of the first inclined surface of the support block.
[0012] Preferably, the upper surface of the base plate is provided with a groove along its length, a first gear is movably mounted at the groove, and a rack that meshes with the first gear is fixedly mounted on the base plate;
[0013] A connecting rod is concentrically fixed to the first gear, and a limiting frame is fixedly provided on the connecting rod;
[0014] A limiting member is rotatably sleeved on the connecting rod, and an elastic rope is provided between the limiting member and the base plate;
[0015] The conveyor includes a first section and a second section, wherein the height of the second section is lower than the height of the first section;
[0016] When the support block moves to the second section, its height decreases. After the cylinder head on the support block moves downward, it contacts the limiting frame. When the support block moves on the second section, it drives the limiting component to move, causing the first gear to move along the slide groove. The first gear rotates under the action of the rack, causing the limiting frame to rotate. The limiting frame drives the cylinder head to rotate. When the first gear rotates to the set maximum stroke position, the support block and the limiting component disengage. The elastic rope drives the first gear to move back.
[0017] Preferably, the limiting member includes a rotating ring, on which a baffle located on the moving trajectory of the support block and a slider located in the sliding groove are fixedly provided, and the elastic rope is fixedly provided on the slider.
[0018] Preferably, the end of the base plate is provided with an arc-shaped section. When the first gear moves to the arc-shaped section, it rotates, causing the cylinder head on the limit frame to disengage from the limit frame.
[0019] Preferably, the limiting frame is a semi-circular ring structure, and the inner ring of the limiting frame is embedded with a magnetic block for increasing the stability of the cylinder head.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0021] 1. This invention can continuously flip and rotate the cylinder head along its length and horizontally during the transmission process, which not only allows all surfaces of the cylinder head to be cleaned, improving the cleaning effect of the cylinder head, but also enhances the cleaning effect of the cleaning fluid on the cylinder head during the rotation process, further improving the cleaning efficiency of the cylinder head.
[0022] 2. This invention is fully automated, requiring no manual operation, thus reducing labor costs. It also features a high degree of interconnectivity, a low failure rate, and is durable. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present application will now be described in further detail. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a cylinder head processing and conveying device with a flipping function is used for cleaning cylinder heads. It includes a base plate 1, with a support base fixed to the bottom of the base plate 1. Two conveyors 2 are fixedly mounted on the base plate 1, positioned between the two conveyors 2. Several corresponding support blocks 3 are fixedly mounted on the conveyor belts of each of the two conveyors 2. Each support block 3 has an intersecting first inclined surface 4 and a second inclined surface 5. When the support block 3 is above the conveyor 2, the first inclined surface 4 and the second inclined surface 5 form a downward indentation.
[0031] Reciprocating motion components are provided on the side walls of the two support blocks 3 at the first inclined plane 4.
[0032] It should be noted that during cylinder head cleaning, a robotic arm or conveyor assembly is used to intermittently place the cylinder head horizontally onto the support blocks 3 at corresponding positions of the two conveyors 2, ensuring that the cylinder head remains perpendicular to the conveyors 2. Simultaneously, multiple nozzles are installed along the cylinder head's movement path, first spraying cleaning fluid and then clean water, achieving full coverage cleaning of all six sides of the moving cylinder head.
[0033] The support block 3 moves above the conveyor 2 along with the conveyor 2, and the corner of the cylinder head is located at the angle formed by the first inclined plane 4 and the second inclined plane 5. When the support block 3 moves, the reciprocating motion component drives the bottom of the cylinder head upward, causing the cylinder head to slide on the second inclined plane 5, and the cylinder head flips under the action of the reciprocating motion component.
[0034] The angle between inclined plane 4 and inclined plane 5 is a right angle or slightly larger than a right angle.
[0035] The cylinder head is flipped so that the other side is facing up, until all sides are cleaned.
[0036] The reciprocating motion component includes a wheel 6 rotatably mounted on a support block 3, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the wheel 6 at a non-central position, a crank 7 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and a guide rod 8 rotatably connected to the crank 7. A guide groove is provided on the side of the support block 3, and the guide rod 8 is movably mounted in the guide groove.
[0037] The principle of the reciprocating motion component is as follows: the outer ring of the wheel 6 contacts the upper surface of the base plate 1. When the wheel 6 moves with the support block 3, it rotates under the action of friction, which causes the crank 7 to drive the guide rod 8 to move up and down reciprocally. The high point of the guide rod 8's movement trajectory is higher than the height of the first inclined surface 4 of the support block 3.
[0038] In the above embodiment, a magnetic block can be provided at the end of the guide rod 8. When the magnetic block on the guide rod 8 attracts the cylinder head, it can attract the cylinder head, reducing the chance of slippage between the guide rod 8 and the cylinder head, and ensuring that the cylinder head can flip normally.
[0039] Meanwhile, rollers are also installed on the second inclined plane 5, so that the cylinder head can move easily on the second inclined plane 5, thereby ensuring the smooth flipping.
[0040] Furthermore, a groove 9 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1 along its length, and a first gear 10 is movably mounted in the groove 9 via a slider. A rack 11 that meshes with the first gear 10 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1.
[0041] A connecting rod 12 is concentrically fixedly connected to the first gear 10, and a limit frame 13 is fixedly provided on the connecting rod 12.
[0042] The limiting bracket 13 has a semi-circular ring structure with its opening facing upwards. The inner ring of the limiting bracket 13 is embedded with a magnetic block to increase the stability of the cylinder head. After the cylinder head falls into the limiting bracket 13, the magnetic block generates a magnetic attraction force on the cylinder head, so that the cylinder head can make good contact with the limiting bracket 13.
[0043] A limiting device is rotatably mounted on the connecting rod 12, and an elastic rope 14 is provided between the limiting device and the base plate 1.
[0044] The conveyor 2 includes a first section 15 and a second section 16, the height of the second section 16 being lower than the height of the first section 15. A buffer section is provided between the first section 15 and the second section 16.
[0045] It should be noted that when the support block 3 moves to the second section 16, its height decreases. After the cylinder head on the support block 3 moves downward, it contacts the limiting frame 13, and then the support block 3 disengages from the cylinder head. When the support block 3 moves on the second section 16, it drives the limiting component to move, causing the first gear 10 to move along the slide groove 9. The first gear 10 rotates under the action of the rack 11, causing the limiting frame 13 to rotate. The limiting frame 13 drives the cylinder head to rotate, allowing the cleaning fluid to create an impact inside the cylinder head, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning fluid. When the first gear 10 rotates to the set maximum stroke, the support block 3 rotates to below the conveyor 2 under the drive of the conveyor 2. The support block 3 disengages from the limiting component, and the elastic rope 14 drives the first gear 10 to move back, allowing the limiting frame 13 to be reused.
[0046] To prevent collisions between the support block 3 and the base plate 1, two notches are made in the base plate 1, ensuring that the support block 3 will not contact the base plate 1 when it moves under the conveyor 2. Simultaneously, two brackets are fixedly installed on the base plate 1 to contact the rotating wheel 6, ensuring that the rotating wheel 6 can rotate normally. The brackets extend to the buffer section.
[0047] The limiting component includes a rotating ring 17 rotatably sleeved on the connecting rod 12, a baffle 18 located on the moving trajectory of the support block 3 and a slider 19 located in the slide groove 9 fixed on the rotating ring 17, and an elastic rope 14 fixed on the slider 19. The slider 19 can limit the position of the rotating ring 17 and the baffle 18 to prevent the baffle 18 from rotating.
[0048] Furthermore, the end of the base plate 1 is provided with an arc-shaped section 20. When the first gear 10 moves to the arc-shaped section 20, it rotates, causing the cylinder head on the limit frame 13 to disengage from the limit frame 13. When the cylinder head falls, it can be transported away by another conveying mechanism, realizing full automation.
[0049] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
