The mounting plate A24 is installed on the supporting slider A39. The connecting protrusion A25 is provided with multiple first connecting columns A26. The mounting plate A24 is provided with multiple guide holes A27 for the first connecting columns A26 to pass through. The connecting protrusion A25 is slidingly connected to the mounting plate A24 through the first connecting column A26. The connecting protrusion A25 is provided with a mounting hole A28. The mounting hole A28 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft A29. One end of the connecting shaft A29 is provided with a first connecting rod A30 for connecting the second clamping device A8 or the third clamping device A40, and the other end of the connecting device is connected to the first flipping device A6.

[0040] The second drive motor A18 drives the screw rod A36 to rotate and drive the first connecting block A7 to move. At the same time, a first polished rod A37 is provided to play a guiding role, so that the first connecting block A7 can move smoothly, so that the first conveying device A2 can smoothly drive the differential housing to move; the movement of the first connecting block A7 drives the third rack A20 to move, and the movement of the third rack A20 drives the transmission gear A19 to rotate, thereby driving the fourth rack A21 to move, and the movement of the fourth rack A21 drives the second connecting block A9 to move. By providing the second polished rod A22 and the limiting guide rail A23, the second connecting block A9 can be ensured to move stably, thereby Ensure that the second conveying device A3 can smoothly drive the differential housing to move; due to the setting of the first flipping device A6, the distance between the connecting protrusion A25 and the mounting plate A24 needs to change during the flipping process. Through the setting of the guide hole A27 and the first connecting column A26, the first flipping device A6 can stably flip the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3; the connecting protrusion A25 plays a role in driving the connection shaft A29 to move, and the first flipping device A6 plays a role in rotating the connection shaft A29, thereby achieving the function of flipping the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3 during movement.

[0041] To further explain, the first flipping device A6 includes a cam groove A31 provided on the first supporting base plate A1 and a mounting block A32 for connecting the connecting shaft A29.

The third driving tooth B18 will drive the support ring B17 to rotate and the second connecting rod B20 to slide. The support ring B17 drives the third driven tooth B19 to rotate. The rotation of the third driven tooth B19 drives the third connecting rod B21 to slide. The second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 are moved simultaneously through the support ring B17 to ensure that the differential housing can be stably clamped.

[0048] In this embodiment, the processing device 3 is arranged above the second flipping device B4, and the two sides of the second flipping device B4 are respectively connected to the loading device 1 and the recovery device 4, so that when the second flipping device B4 flips the differential case, the differential case will first pass through the processing device 3 above and then to the recovery device 4.

[0049] To be more specific, a plurality of slide rails B23 are provided in the housing B2, and a first slider B24 is provided at the bottom of the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21. The second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 move along the length direction of the first slide rail B23 through the first slider B24. The second clamping member B15 includes a connecting bracket B26 and an elastic clamp B25 provided on both sides of the connecting bracket B26. The connecting bracket B26 is used to connect the second connecting rod B20 or the third connecting rod B21. The elastic clamp B25 includes a clamp fixing frame B27, a spring B28 and a movable clamp block B29. The clamp The fixing frame B27 is connected to the connecting bracket B26, one end of the spring B28 is connected to the clamp fixing frame B27, and the other end of the spring B28 is connected to the movable clamping block B29. The clamp fixing frame B27 is provided with a makeshift groove B30, and a fourth connecting rod B31 is provided in the makeshift groove B30. The spring B28 is sleeved on the fourth connecting rod B31, and the movable clamping block B29 is provided with a makeshift channel B32 for the fourth connecting rod B31 to pass through. A limit block B33 for limiting the movable clamping block B29 is provided in the makeshift groove B30, and makeshift slide grooves for the limit block B33 to slide are provided on both sides of the movable clamping block B29.

[0050] By setting the slide rail B23, the sliding stability of the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 is ensured, and the direction of movement of the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 is ensured. By setting the spring B28, the elastic clamp B25 can have a certain degree of automatic adjustment. When the elastic clamp B25 approaches the differential housing under the action of the third drive device B14, it will first squeeze the spring B28, and the movable clamp B29 will retract inward, so that when the third drive device B14 stops working, the elastic clamp B25 can still clamp the differential housing and prevent damage to the differential housing.

[0051] In the initial state, the first clamping device B3 is close to the loading device 1 and clamps the differential housing on the loading device 1. After clamping, the second flipping device B4 drives the housing B2 to flip, so that the first clamping device B3 moves to the processing device 3, and the processing device 3 processes the differential housing on the first clamping device B3. After the processing is completed, the second flipping device B4 continues to flip the housing B2, so that the first clamping device B3 moves to the recovery device 4. The first clamping device B3 releases the differential housing, and the differential housing enters the recovery device 4 for recovery, completing the transportation, processing and recovery of the differential housing.

[0052] To be more specific, the recovery device 4 includes a second supporting base plate C1 and a support frame C2, the base plate is rotatably connected to the support frame C2, and a plurality of storage racks C3 for recovering the differential housing are arranged above the support frame C2. A fourth driving device C4 for driving the support frame C2 to rotate and a limiting device C5 for limiting the rotation of the support frame C2 are arranged on the base plate. The fourth driving device C4 is connected to the support frame C2. When the fourth driving device C4 drives the support frame C2 to rotate, the limiting device C5 releases the restriction on the support frame C2.

[0053] A loading station is provided on the support frame C2, and the storage rack C3 located in the loading station is used to recover the processed differential housing. When the storage rack C3 located in the loading station recovers a differential housing, the fourth drive device C4 drives the support frame C2 to rotate, and at the same time the limiting device C5 releases the restriction on the support frame C2, so that the support frame C2 can rotate, and allows the new storage rack C3 to enter the loading station and wait for loading. At this time, the limiting device C5 re-limits the support frame C2 to prevent the support frame C2 from rotating, so that the differential housing cannot accurately enter the storage rack C3.

[0054] To further explain, the fourth driving device C4 includes a fifth driving motor C6, a driving lever C7 and a driven plate C8. The fifth driving motor C6 is arranged on the base plate, the driving lever C7 is arranged on the output shaft of the fifth driving motor C6, and the driven plate C8 is arranged on the support frame C2. The fifth driving motor C6 is used to drive the driving lever C7 to rotate, and the driving lever C7 is used to rotate and drive the driven plate C8 to rotate. The driving lever C7 is provided with an insert block C9, and the driven plate C8 is provided with a plurality of slide grooves C10. The insert block C9 can be inserted into the slide groove C10, and the insert block C9 can slide along the length direction of the slide groove C10.

[0055] The fifth driving motor C6 will drive the driving lever C7 to rotate periodically. When the driving lever C7 hits the driven plate C8, it will drive the driven plate C8 to rotate, thereby driving the support frame C2 to rotate. After rotating to a certain angle, the driving lever C7 will leave the driven plate C8, causing the driven plate C8 to stop rotating. At the same time, the limiting device C5 will re-limit the driven plate C8 to prevent the support rod C14 from rotating. In this embodiment, there are three slide grooves C10 and three storage racks C3. Each slide groove C10 corresponds to a storage rack C3. The slide groove C10 is used for inserting the plug C9. At the same time, since the rotation of the driving lever C7 will drive the plug C9 to make a circular motion, the plug C9 will drive the driven plate C8 to rotate. The driving lever C7 rotates one circle, which will drive the driven plate C8 to rotate, so that the new slide groove C10 moves to the position where the plug C9 is to enter.

[0056] To further elaborate, the limiting device C5 includes a limiting disc C11, which is provided with a clearance notch C12, and a limiting arc notch C13 for the limiting disc C11 to be engaged is provided between the two slide grooves C10. The limiting disc C11 is arranged on the output shaft of the fifth drive motor C6, and the support frame C2 includes a support rod C14 and a second support plate C15. The support rod C14 is rotatably connected to the base plate, and the second support plate C15 is arranged at the end of the support rod C14 away from the base plate. The limiting disc C11 is provided with a plurality of first weight-reducing grooves C16, and the second support plate C15 is provided with a plurality of second weight-reducing grooves C17. The driven plate C8 is connected to the second support plate C15 through a plurality of third connecting columns C18, and the storage rack C3 is connected to the second support plate C15 through a plurality of fourth connecting columns C19. The plurality of storage racks C3 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the second support plate C15.

[0057] When the clearance gap rotates to the driven plate, the driving lever will also move to the driven plate, so that when the driving lever drives the driven plate to rotate, the driven plate is located at the clearance gap, and the limiting disc will not limit the driven plate. When the clearance gap leaves the limiting arc gap, the arc portion of the limiting disc will be stuck in the limiting arc gap, so that the driven plate is restricted from rotating, and the driven plate will not affect the rotation of the limiting disc; the second support plate plays the role of supporting the storage rack; a first weight-reducing groove and a second weight-reducing groove are provided to reduce the driving force required for the fifth drive motor to work; at the same time, the third connecting column and the fourth connecting column are provided to ensure the stability of the support plate and the support frame during rotation.
