DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a pneumatic rotary indexer includes a first flange 1, a second flange 4 and a rotating shaft 8. The first flange 1 and the second flange 4 are arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 8. A rotating disk 3 is arranged on the end surface of the second flange 4, and the rotating disk 3 is fixed to the rotating shaft 8 through a nut. The rotating disk 3 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 8. A fixed shell 2 is sleeved between the first flange 1 and the second flange 4. The fixed shell 2 is installed on the mounting platform, and the rotating disk 3 can be rotated by a certain angle. The first flange 1 is rotated to rotate the indexing structure 6, thereby driving the second flange 4 and the rotating disk 3 to rotate synchronously. A indexing structure 6 is arranged between the end surface of the first flange 1 and the end surface of the second flange 4 and inside the fixed shell 2. The indexing structure 6 includes a first fixed sleeve 61, and the first fixed sleeve 61 is manufactured integrally with the first flange 1. The rotation of the first flange 1 can drive the first fixed sleeve 61 to rotate, and the rotation of the first fixed sleeve 61 is not affected by the fixed shell 2, and a first dividing block 62 is provided on the outside of the cylindrical surface of the first fixed sleeve 61, and each side wall of the first dividing block 62 is provided with a first inclined surface 66. The first fixed sleeve 61 is rotated to adjust the position of the first dividing block 62. A second fixed sleeve 63 is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 8 and above the first dividing block 62. The lower end of the second fixed sleeve 63 is integrally manufactured with a second dividing block 65, and each side wall of the second dividing block 65 is provided with a second inclined surface 67. The position of the first dividing block 62 is matched with the position of the second dividing block 65. When the position of the second fixed sleeve 63 changes, it will affect the position of the second inclined surface 67 of the second dividing block 65, thereby changing the state of the second fixed sleeve 63.

[0036] See also Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the first dividing blocks 62 are arranged in a circular array on the cylindrical surface of the first fixed sleeve 61, and the second dividing blocks 65 are arranged in a circular array on the cylindrical surface of the second fixed sleeve 63. The number of the first dividing blocks 62 and the number of the second dividing blocks 65 are equal. When the relative position of the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 needs to be changed, the position of the second flange 4 can be adjusted by rotating the first flange 1. The outer diameter of the cylindrical surface of the first fixed sleeve 61 is matched with the inner diameter of the cylindrical surface of the second fixed sleeve 63, and the rotation diameter of the first dividing block 62 is matched with the rotation diameter of the second dividing block 65. The rotation of the first fixed sleeve 61 can drive the second fixed sleeve 63 to rotate, and the first dividing block 62 is in contact with the second dividing block 65, so that the rotation angle of the second fixed sleeve 63 can be adjusted.

The sealing ring 9 fits the interior of the fixed shell 2, and the interior of the fixed shell 2 is slidably connected to the sealing ring 9. The distance between the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 is constant. When the first fixed sleeve 61 and the second fixed sleeve 63 rotate relative to each other, the second fixed sleeve 63 will also rise and fall, thereby utilizing the sealing ring 9 for sealing.

[0038] See also Figure 3 As shown, the first inclined surface 66 of the first dividing block 62 is fitted with the second inclined surface 67 of the second dividing block 65, and the first inclined surface 66 is slidably connected to the second inclined surface 67. The first dividing block 62 and the second dividing block 65 rotate relative to each other. While the first inclined surface 66 and the second inclined surface 67 rotate relative to each other, the second fixed sleeve 63 can be lifted and lowered in the vertical direction, and the rotation directions of the first dividing block 62 and the second dividing block 65 are opposite. The interior of the second fixed sleeve 63 is slidably connected to the cylindrical surface of the rotating shaft 8. When the first flange 1 rotates in one direction, the first dividing block 62 and the second dividing block 65 can be used to rotate relative to each other, thereby turning the first dividing block 62 and the second dividing block 65 in opposite directions. The rotation angle of the second fixed sleeve 63 can be determined by the amount of sliding of the first dividing block 62 and the second dividing block 65, so that the rotation angle of the rotating disk 3 and the second flange 4 can be indexed.

[0039] See also Figure 5 As shown, the vertical side wall of the first dividing block 62 is fitted with the vertical side wall of the second dividing block 65, and the first dividing block 62 and the second dividing block 65 rotate synchronously, and the rotation direction of the first dividing block 62 and the second dividing block 65 is the same. When the first flange 1 is rotated, the side wall of the first dividing block 62 can drive the side wall of the second dividing block 65 to rotate, so that the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 rotate synchronously, and the second flange 4 and the rotating disk 3 are rotated in a certain direction.

[0040] It should be noted that the fixed housing 2 is installed on the mounting platform, and the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting platform, so that when the first flange 1 is rotated, the first fixed sleeve 61 can be driven to rotate, and when the vertical side wall of the first indexing block 62 is against the vertical side wall of the second indexing block 65, the first flange 1 drives the first indexing block 62 to rotate counterclockwise, and the first indexing block 62 and the first inclined surface 66 can rotate synchronously, so that the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 both rotate counterclockwise; when the first inclined surface 66 of the first indexing block 62 and the second inclined surface 66 of the second indexing block 65 When the first flange 1 is in contact with the first dividing block 65, the first flange 1 drives the first dividing block 62 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the first inclined surface 66 and the second inclined surface 67 slide relative to each other, and the rotation direction of the second flange 4 is opposite to that of the first flange 1, and at the same time, the second fixed sleeve 63 rises and falls along the axial direction, so that after the first flange 1 rotates a certain angle, the first dividing block 62 is disengaged from the second dividing block 65, and the first flange 1 drives the first dividing block 62 to continue to rotate. The second telescopic spring 73 of the synchronous structure 7 can push the second fixed sleeve 63 downward again, and the second dividing block 65 can be rotated a certain angle relative to the first dividing block 62 again.

[0041] See also Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a synchronization structure 7 is arranged between the interior of the second fixing sleeve 63 and the end surface of the second flange 4, and the synchronization structure 7 includes two first reserved holes 71, and the two first reserved holes 71 are both opened at the top of the second fixing sleeve 63, and the interiors of the two first reserved holes 71 are both provided with a fixed shaft 72 and a second telescopic spring 73, and the fixed shaft 72 is located above the second telescopic spring 73, and the fixed shaft 72 is located in the first reserved hole 71 and is slidably connected, so that the fixed shaft 72 is lifted and lowered along the vertical direction, and a fixed tip 74 is arranged at the end of the fixed shaft 72, and two second reserved holes 75 are arranged on the end surface of the second flange 4 and located near the second fixing sleeve 63, so that the lifting and lowering The fixed tip 74 can always be in contact with the second reserved hole 75, so that the second flange 4 is driven to rotate when the second fixed sleeve 63 rotates. A guide groove 76 is provided inside the second fixed sleeve 63, and a guide block 77 is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 8 and inside the second fixed sleeve 63. The guide block 77 rotates synchronously with the second fixed sleeve 63, and the guide block 77 is slidably connected with the inside of the guide groove 76. Since the shapes of the guide block 77 and the guide groove 76 are not rotating bodies, the rotation of the second fixed sleeve 63 drives the guide block 77 to rotate, thereby rotating the rotating shaft 8, and the second fixed sleeve 63 can also drive the second flange 4 and the rotating disk 3 to rotate synchronously.

[0042] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the total length of the fixed shaft 72 and the fixed tip 74 is greater than the length of the first dividing block 62, the length of the second telescopic spring 73 in the extended state is greater than the length of the first dividing block 62, the second reserved holes 75 are arranged in a ring array on the end face of the rotating shaft 8, and the busbar of the fixed tip 74 is adapted to the busbar of the second reserved holes 75, the two fixed tips 74 are matched with two of the second reserved holes 75, and when the first dividing block 62 of the first dividing block 62 and the second inclined surfaces 67 of the second dividing block 65 slide relative to each other, the second fixed sleeve 63 can be lifted and lowered in the vertical direction, and the fixed shaft 72 moves relative to the first reserved hole 71, and the second fixed sleeve 63 and the second flange 4 rotate together regardless of whether the second fixed sleeve 63 rotates.

A fixing plate 58 is welded to the outer wall of the fixed housing 2. An arc rod 59 is welded to the side wall of the fixing plate 58. The arc rod 59 runs through the interior of the ratchet 511. The ratchet 511 is slidably connected relative to the arc rod 59, and the outer sleeve of the arc rod 59 is provided with a first telescopic spring 510, which can push the pawl 511 to move, and a fixing pin is welded on the edge of the fixing plate 58, and a pawl 511 is provided on the outer sleeve of the fixing pin, and the pawl 511 is engaged with the ratchet 51 rotating counterclockwise, and the ratchet 51 and the pawl 511 are used to limit the counterclockwise rotation of the second fixed sleeve 63, and the ratchet 51 and the pawl 511 are engaged when the second fixed sleeve 63 and the ratchet 51 rotate counterclockwise.
