[0058] A clamping and flipping assembly 58 is fixed below each driving frame 53; the two clamping and flipping assemblies 58 are symmetrically arranged.

[0059] To be more specific, a hanging frame 55 is fixed in the middle position of the top of the main beam 51, and a gas control cabinet 56 is fixed on one side of the hanging frame 55; square channel steels 510 are fixed at both ends of the main beam 51, DC drive motors are respectively fixed inside the two ends of the square channel steels 510, and a drive wheel 59 is installed on the output shaft of the DC drive motor; the drive wheel 59 is installed in the guide groove on the inner side of the guide rail 6; a U-shaped frame 57 is fixed at the bottom of the main beam 51, and a rotating holding member 15 or a clamping mechanism 16 is installed on the U-shaped frame 57.

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, when the engine cylinder head transfer gripper 1 5 or the engine cylinder head transfer gripper 2 7 moves, the DC drive motor drives the external drive wheel 59 to slide to the left along the guide groove on the inner side of the guide rail 6, and when sliding to the feeding conveyor 1, the engine cylinder head is clamped; when clamping, the cylinder rods of the two pushing cylinders 54 are pushed out, so that the drive frame 53 slides outward along the slide rail 52 through the slide seat 50, and then the two clamping and flipping assemblies 58 are respectively placed on both sides of the engine cylinder head, and then the cylinder rods of the two pushing cylinders 54 are retracted, so that the drive frame 53 slides inward along the slide rail 52 through the slide seat 50, and the two clamping and flipping assemblies 58 realize the clamping of the engine cylinder head;

[0061] After the clamping is completed, the DC drive motor drives the external drive wheel 59 to slide to the right along the guide groove on the inner side of the guide rail 6 until the engine cylinder head is placed on the top of the cylinder head holder 3; the rotating mechanism 4 drives the cylinder head holder 3 to rotate, and multiple CCD cameras are arranged at the four corners on the inner side of the first frame body 2, and the engine cylinder head is inspected for defects using the CCD cameras; the engine cylinder heads with defects such as cracks, sand holes, and air holes are removed and transmitted out through the side conveyor 12.

[0062] Please see attached Figure 6 In this embodiment, the rotating holding member 15 includes a first holding cylinder 151, which is fixed on the U-shaped frame 57, and its cylinder rod passes through the bottom of the U-shaped frame 57 and is equipped with a seat bearing 152; the seat bearing 152 is fixed on the pressure plate 153.

[0063] By adopting the above technical solution, after the cylinder rod of the first holding cylinder 151 is extended, the engine cylinder head is pressed against the cylinder head fixing seat 3 by the pressure plate 153, which can ensure the stability of the engine cylinder head when the rotating mechanism 4 drives the cylinder head fixing seat 3 to rotate; the setting of the seat bearing 152 can ensure that the pressure plate 153 presses the engine cylinder head and can rotate at the same time.

[0064] Please see attached Fig.12 In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 16 includes a second clamping cylinder 161, which is fixed on the U-shaped frame 57, and its cylinder rod passes through the bottom of the U-shaped frame 57 and is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 163; two guide rods are also fixed on the clamping plate 163, and the guide rods are slidably connected in the guide sleeve 162; the guide sleeve 162 is embedded and fixed with the U-shaped frame 57; the tops of the two guide rods are commonly connected with a connecting frame 164.

[0065] By adopting the above technical solution, when the air tightness test of the engine cylinder head is carried out, the second holding cylinder 161 pushes the holding plate 163 to hold the engine cylinder head. After pressing, compressed gas is introduced into the cylinder head through the ventilation pipe 11. After a certain amount of gas is introduced, the valve is kept closed and left to stand for a period of time, and the sealing of the cylinder head is tested by a pressure gauge.

[0066] Please see attached Figure 8-10In this embodiment, the clamping and flipping assembly 58 includes a connecting seat 581 fixedly mounted on the driving frame 53, and an outer cylinder 582 is fixed at the bottom of the connecting seat 581; a driving cylinder 5813 is arranged on the outer side of the outer cylinder 582, and the cylinder rod end of the driving cylinder 5813 is connected to an L-shaped connecting seat 5810; a toggle shaft 5812 is movably arranged on the inner side of the L-shaped connecting seat 5810, and the toggle shaft 5812 passes through the inside of the n-shaped frame 584 through an arc groove 5811 and is fixed to a driving gear 585; the driving gear 585 is meshed and connected with a meshing gear 586; the meshing gear 586 is mounted on the driving shaft 587 in coordination;

[0067] The driving shaft 587 is connected to the n-shaped frame 584 through a bearing, and a turning block 588 is welded to the inner end of the driving shaft 587; an insert shaft 589 is provided on the inner side of the turning block 588.

[0068] By adopting the above technical solution, when the engine cylinder head is clamped and lifted, the engine cylinder head will be driven to move up and down, and the up and down movement structure is completed by the cooperation of the outer cylinder 582 and the inner cylinder 583; when the cylinder rod of the telescopic cylinder 5815 is contracted, the cylinder seat 5814 will drive the driving cylinder 5813 to slide downward along the slide groove 5816, and under the self-gravity of the n-shaped frame 584 and the counterweight of the engine cylinder head, the inner cylinder 583 extends out from the outer cylinder 582, thereby realizing the relative elongation of the outer cylinder 582 and the inner cylinder 583, so as to facilitate the clamping of the engine cylinder head.

[0069] Please refer to the attached Figure 5-10 In this embodiment, the arc groove 5811 horizontally penetrates the n-shaped frame 584; the upper end of the n-shaped frame 584 is fixed with an inner cylinder 583, and the upper end of the inner cylinder 583 is slidably connected in the outer cylinder 582; the upper end of the outer cylinder 582 is horizontally penetrated with a slide groove 5816; the upper end of the driving cylinder 5813 is movably connected with a cylinder seat 5814 through a rotating shaft; the cylinder seat 5814 horizontally penetrates the slide groove 5816 and is slidably connected to the slide groove 5816;

Since the plug shaft 589 is eccentrically fixed to the driving gear 585, it can drive the driving gear 585 to rotate. At the same time, the driving gear 585 drives the meshing gear 586 installed on the driving shaft 587 to rotate, so that the flip block 588 clamped on the engine cylinder head drives the engine cylinder head to flip at a certain angle, thereby deflecting the bottom of the engine cylinder head to the outside, so that the quality inspector can mark the defective position at the bottom of the engine cylinder head.

[0072] As another explanation of this embodiment, when the cylinder rod of the telescopic cylinder 5815 is extended, the cylinder seat 5814 will drive the driving cylinder 5813 to move upward. Due to the gravity of the engine cylinder head, the driving shaft 5812 will automatically deflect, causing the engine cylinder head to deflect to a certain extent. At this time, the driving cylinder 5813 can use the telescopic cylinder rod to deflect the angle of the engine cylinder head to compensate for the angle.
