For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic flipping clamping device for a shower faucet, comprising a mounting base plate 1, a sliding mounting platform 2, a fixing seat 3, a clamping mechanism 4, a flipping driving mechanism 5, a translation driving mechanism 6, a ejector driving mechanism 7 and a positioning mechanism 8;

[0042] The fixing seat 3 and the translation driving mechanism 6 are respectively installed on both sides of the installation base plate 1, the positioning mechanism 8 is installed on the fixing seat 3, the positioning mechanism 8 is used to fix the position of the shower faucet 10, the sliding mounting platform 2 is installed on the translation driving mechanism 6, the translation driving mechanism 6 is used to drive the sliding mounting platform 2 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, so that the sliding mounting platform 2 is close to or away from the positioning mechanism 8, the flipping driving mechanism 5 and the ejector driving mechanism 7 are respectively installed on both sides of the sliding mounting platform 2, and the flipping driving mechanism 5 and the positioning mechanism 8 are arranged opposite to each other;

[0043] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a clamping body 41 and a ejector pin 42. The installation position of the clamping body 41 matches the installation position of the positioning mechanism 8. The clamping body 41 is connected to the flipping drive mechanism 5. The flipping drive mechanism 5 is used to drive the clamping body 410 to flip.

[0044] The clamping body 41 is provided with a clamping head 411 at one end away from the flip driving mechanism 5, and the size of the clamping head 411 matches the size of the regulating valve installation hole of the shower faucet, so that the clamping head 411 can be inserted into the regulating valve installation hole of the shower faucet;

[0045] The ejector pin 42 is installed inside the clamping body 41, and the ejector pin 42 is connected to the ejector pin driving mechanism 7. The ejector pin driving mechanism 7 is used to drive the ejector pin 42 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, so that the clamping head 411 expands radially or restores its original state, thereby clamping or releasing the shower faucet.

[0046] It is worth noting that the automatic flipping and clamping device for shower faucet in this embodiment includes a mounting base plate 1, a sliding mounting platform 2, a fixing seat 3, a clamping mechanism 4, a flipping driving mechanism 5, a translation driving mechanism 6, a pin driving mechanism 7 and a positioning mechanism 8. The flipping driving mechanism 5, the translation driving mechanism 6 and the pin driving mechanism 7 provide power to realize the action of quickly clamping and flipping the shower faucet 10. The specific working process is as follows: the shower faucet 10 is held and placed in the positioning mechanism 8, and the position of the shower faucet 10 is fixed by the positioning mechanism 8. Then the translation driving mechanism 6 is started, and the sliding mounting platform 2 is driven by the translation driving mechanism 6 to make a horizontal movement close to the positioning mechanism 8, so that the clamping head 411 is inserted into the regulating valve mounting hole of the shower faucet 10. At this time, the pin driving mechanism 7 is started to extend the pin forward, so that the clamping head 411 expands radially, and then the clamping head 411 clamps the shower faucet 10, so as to realize the quick clamping of the shower faucet 10. Then the peeling device is started to peel the first side of the shower faucet. After the first side is milled, the reverse side is automatically turned over: first, the translation drive mechanism 6 is started, driving the sliding mounting platform 2, the clamping mechanism 4, the flipping drive mechanism 5, the ejector drive mechanism 7 and the shower faucet 10 to move horizontally away from the positioning mechanism 8, so that the shower faucet 10 is separated from the positioning mechanism 8. Then the flipping drive mechanism 5 is started, and the clamping mechanism 4 is driven to flip 180° through the flipping drive mechanism 5, and then the shower faucet 10 is flipped 180°, so as to achieve the automatic flipping effect. Then, the translation drive mechanism 6 drives the sliding mounting platform 2, the clamping mechanism 4, the flipping drive mechanism 5, the ejector drive mechanism 7 and the shower faucet 10 to move horizontally close to the positioning mechanism 8, so that the turned shower faucet 10 is placed on the positioning mechanism 8 again, and is fixed again. Continue to start the peeling device to peel the other side of the shower faucet 10. After the peeling is completed, the translation drive mechanism 6 is operated to drive the shower faucet 10 to retract, that is, the shower faucet 10 is separated from the positioning mechanism 8 again, and then under the driving action of the ejector drive mechanism 7, the ejector 42 retracts to restore the clamping head 411 to its original state. At this time, the clamping head 411 releases the shower faucet 10, and the shower faucet 10 can be manually taken out.

[0047] The automatic flipping clamping device for shower faucets provided in this embodiment can achieve the effect of automatic clamping without manual clamping, and after the peeling of one side of the faucet is completed during the production process, the automatic flipping effect of the shower faucet can be achieved through the functions of the flipping drive mechanism 5, the translation drive mechanism 6 and the ejector drive mechanism 7, so that the other side can continue to be processed without manual flipping, which can significantly improve the clamping and disassembly speed, thereby improving the overall peeling processing efficiency. Since the size and spacing of the water inlet and the regulating valve installation hole of the shower faucet have fixed standards, the automatic flipping clamping device for shower faucets provided in this embodiment can be applied to shower faucets of different models, and has better adaptability.

[0048] In one embodiment, the ejector pin 42 includes a connecting rod 421 and a deformation driving portion 422, one side of the connecting rod 421 is connected to the deformation driving portion 422, and the other side of the connecting rod 421 is connected to the ejector driving mechanism 7, and the diameter of the deformation driving portion 422 gradually decreases in a direction away from the connecting rod 421;

[0049] Along the moving direction of the ejector pin, the clamping head 411 includes a plurality of separated deformation parts 4111, and the gap between two adjacent deformation parts 4111 forms a deformation space 4112;

[0050] The clamping body 41 is provided with an ejector moving channel 414 inside, and the ejector 42 reciprocates in the ejector moving channel 414, so that the deformation portion is deformed or restored to its original state, the deformation space 4112 becomes larger or restored to its original state, and then the clamping head 411 is radially expanded or restored to its original state, so that the clamping head clamps or releases the shower faucet 10.

[0051] It should be noted that, under the driving action of the ejector drive mechanism 7, the axial movement of the ejector 42 can be converted into the radial movement of the deformation part 4111, so that the deformation part 4111 is deformed, and the shower faucet 10 is clamped or loosened. Specifically, when the deformation part 4111 expands outward under the action of the ejector 42, the deformation part 4111 fits tightly against the inner surface of the regulating valve mounting hole of the shower faucet 10, thereby clamping the shower faucet 10. When the deformation part 4111 returns to its original state under the action of the ejector 42, the clamping force between the deformation part 4111 and the shower faucet 10 disappears, so that the shower faucet 10 is loosened. The clamping mechanism 4 of this embodiment can achieve the function of clamping or loosening the shower faucet 10. Furthermore, since the clamping mechanism 4, when in use, clamps the shower faucet by expanding the clamping head 411 in the regulating valve mounting hole of the shower faucet, the clamping mechanism of this embodiment not only has a large clamping force and can effectively clamp the shower faucet, but also does not cause wear to the outer surface of the shower faucet during clamping. Furthermore, the technical solution can control the deformation size of the clamping head 411 by controlling the travel of the ejector pin 42 in the ejector pin moving channel 414, so that the clamping mechanism 4 can be adapted to workpieces with small size deviations and can firmly clamp the workpieces.

[0052] In one embodiment, the clamping body 41 further includes a clamping connection portion 413, the clamping connection portion 413 is connected to the clamping head 411, and a side of the clamping connection portion 413 away from the clamping head 411 is connected to the flip driving mechanism 5;

[0053] The clamping connection portion 413 is provided with a first channel 4141 for the ejector pin 42 to move therein, and the clamping head is provided with a second channel 4142, a gradual channel 4143 and a third channel 4144 for the ejector pin 42 to move therein, the diameter of the first channel 4141 is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 421, the diameter of the second channel 4142 matches the diameter of the connecting rod 421, the diameter of the third channel 4144 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting rod 421, and the diameter of the gradual channel 4143 gradually decreases in a direction close to the third channel 4144;

[0054] The first channel 4141 , the second channel 4142 , the gradual channel 4143 and the third channel 4144 are connected in sequence to form the ejector moving channel 414 .

[0055] It is worth noting that, through the structural arrangement of the first channel 4141, the second channel 4142, the gradual channel 4143 and the third channel 4144, and through the structural coordination between each channel and the ejector 42, the deformation portion 4111 can be gradually deformed under the driving action of the ejector drive mechanism 7, so that the deformation space 4112 is gradually enlarged, and then the clamping head 411 gradually expands outward to clamp the shower faucet. In addition, since the deformation portion 4111 is gradually deformed, the damage to the deformation portion 4111 can be reduced, and the damage to the shower faucet can be avoided.

[0056] More preferably, the deformation driving portion 422 is in a conical or truncated cone shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0057] In one embodiment, the clamping connection portion 413 is provided with a plurality of stress release holes 4131, the stress release holes 4131 are connected to the first channel 4141, and the deformation space 4112 is connected to the stress release holes 4131 in a one-to-one correspondence. By providing the stress release holes 4131, the deformation portion 4111 has better elastic deformation ability, can better deform and restore to its original state, and avoids the ejector pin 42 from damaging the deformation portion 4111 during movement, which makes it difficult to restore to its original state later.

[0058] In one embodiment, the end of each of the deformation portions 4111 is inclined toward the center of the clamping head, so that the end of the clamping head 411 forms a first guide portion (not shown in the figure), and the diameter of the first guide portion gradually decreases in the direction away from the clamping connection portion 413. By providing the first guide portion at the end of the clamping head 411, a guiding function is played, so that the process of inserting the clamping head 411 into the regulating valve installation hole of the shower faucet is smoother, the resistance during insertion is reduced, the clamping efficiency is further improved, and the clamping head 411 is prevented from colliding with and scratching the shower faucet during insertion.

[0059] In one embodiment, the flip driving mechanism 5 includes a flip driving part 51 and a rotating part 52, wherein the flip driving part 51 is mounted on the sliding mounting platform 2, and the flip driving part 51 is used to drive the rotating part 52 to rotate;

[0060] A connecting plate 412 is provided on the side of the clamping connecting portion 413 away from the clamping head 411, and the connecting plate 412 is connected to the rotating portion 52; therefore, under the driving action of the flipping driving portion 51, the rotating portion 52 can rotate 180°, so that the clamping body 41 rotates 180°, and then drives the shower faucet to flip 180°, achieving a flipping effect.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, the flip driving mechanism 5 may be a rotary cylinder, but is not limited thereto.

The spacing between the two positioning shafts 82 matches the spacing between the two water inlets of the shower faucet, so that the shower faucet can be firmly and accurately fixed.

[0063] In one embodiment, a positioning head 821 is provided on the side of the positioning shaft 82 facing the clamping body 41, and the positioning head 821 includes a second guide portion 8211 and a limit portion 8212. The second guide portion 8211 is located on the side close to the clamping body 41, and the size of the limit portion 8212 is adapted to the size of the water inlet of the shower faucet. The positioning head 821 of this embodiment can quickly determine the position of the shower faucet, and after the shower faucet is turned over, it is convenient to quickly insert the positioning head into the water inlet of the shower faucet, thereby fixing the shower faucet and continuing to process the other side of the shower faucet.

That is, in this embodiment, the mounting plate 81 is mounted on the fixing seat 3 through the horizontal adjustment component 83, and the horizontal position of the mounting plate 81 can be fine-tuned through the horizontal adjustment component 83, so that after the positioning mechanism 8 fixes the shower faucet, the horizontal position of the shower faucet can be fine-tuned, so that the horizontal position of the regulating valve mounting hole in the shower faucet matches the horizontal position of the clamping head 411.

[0065] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 8 includes two adjustment screws, which are respectively connected to two sides of the mounting plate 81.

Through the cooperation of the support plate 841 and the support rod 842, the shower faucet can be supported to prevent the shower faucet from falling after the clamping head 411 is loosened, and to avoid the surface of the shower faucet being worn when it falls. In addition, since the support rod 842 is threadedly connected to the support plate 841, the support rod 842 can be adjusted in the vertical direction, so as to better support the shower faucet and adapt to a variety of different models of shower faucets.
