Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of differential manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a differential housing processing platform. Background Technology

[0002] The differential provides different driving forces to the left and right wheels of a car to achieve steering, playing a crucial role in the steering process. The machining of the differential housing has a significant impact on its performance. Traditional machining methods require manual transport of the differential housing to the machining facility, clamping it, and then machining it. After machining, the differential housing is then manually retrieved. This method is inefficient and prone to errors due to its numerous steps.

[0003] The applicant has improved the processing flow by using mechanical transfer instead of manual labor to transport the differential housing to the processing device and clamp it. The differential is then processed using the existing processing device, and after processing, it is transported to the recycling device. The applicant has not improved the processing device for the differential housing. The processing device for the differential housing can use existing technology, such as CN214290966U.

[0035] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1-15 As shown, this differential housing processing platform includes a support frame assembly 5. The support frame assembly 5 is equipped with a loading device 1 for conveying the differential housing, a transfer device 2 for transferring the differential housing, a processing device 3, and a recovery device 4 for recovering the differential housing. The loading device 1 is used to convey the differential housing to the transfer device 2. The transfer device 2 is equipped with a first clamping device for clamping the differential housing. The transfer device 2 is used to clamp the differential housing and pass it sequentially through the processing device 3 and the recovery device 4. The recovery device 4 is used to recover the differential housing located on the transfer device 2.

[0037] In further detail, the feeding device 1 includes a first support base plate A1, a first conveying device A2 for conveying the differential housing, a second conveying device A3 for conveying the differential housing, a first drive device A4, and a transmission device A5. The transmission device A5 connects the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3. The first drive device A4 drives the first conveying device A2 to move and drives the second conveying device A3 to move through the transmission device A5. The first support plate A10 is provided with a first tilting device A6 for driving the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3 to tilt. The first conveying device A2 includes a first connecting block A7 and a second clamping device A8 for clamping the differential housing. The first connecting block A7 is used by the first drive device A4 and the first tilting device A6. The second conveying device A3 includes a second connecting block A9 and a second clamping device A8 for clamping the differential housing. The second connecting block A9 is used to connect the transmission device A6. Device A5 and the first flipping device A6, the second clamping device A8 and the third clamping device A40 all include a first support plate A10. The first support plate A10 is connected to the first connecting block A7 or the second connecting block A9. The first support plate A10 is provided with a second driving device A11 and two first clamping members A12. The second driving device A11 is used to drive the two first clamping members A12 to move closer or further apart from each other. The first clamping members A12 are used to be inserted into the differential housing. The second driving device A11 includes a first driving motor A13, a first driving gear A14, a first driven gear A15, a first rack A16 and a second rack A17. The first driving motor A13 is used to drive the first driving gear A14 to rotate. The first driving gear A14 meshes with the first driven gear A15. The first rack A16 meshes with the first driving gear A14. The second rack A17 meshes with the first driven gear A15. The first rack A16 and the second rack A17 are both connected to the first clamping members A12.

[0038] The first driving device A4 drives the first connecting block A7 to move, thereby moving the second clamping device A8. The first flipping device A6 drives the first connecting block A7 to flip, thereby flipping the second clamping device A8. The transmission device A5 drives the first connecting block A7 to move, thereby moving the second connecting block A9, which in turn drives the third clamping device A40 to move. The flipping device drives the second connecting block A9 to flip, thereby flipping the third clamping device A40. In this application, when the second clamping device A8 and the third clamping device A40 are located at the loading station or the gripping station, the differential housing held by the second clamping device A8 and the third clamping device A40 is located outside the support base plate. This arrangement facilitates gripping the differential housing or facilitates... The differential housing is machined. When the differential housing needs to be clamped, the first drive motor A13 drives the drive gear to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear drives the driven gear to rotate and the first rack A16 to move. At the same time, the rotation of the driven gear drives the second rack A17 to move. The movements of the first rack A16 and the second rack A17 are opposite, causing the first clamping members A12 located on the first rack A16 and the second rack A17 to move closer or further apart. When the two first clamping members A12 move further apart, they will support the differential housing, thus clamping the differential housing. When it is necessary to release the clamp, the first drive motor A13 reverses, causing the two first clamping members A12 to move closer together.

[0039] In further detail, the first driving device A4 includes a second driving motor A18, a lead screw A36, and a first guide rod A37. A first connecting block A7 is threadedly connected to the lead screw A36. The second driving motor A18 drives the lead screw A36 to rotate, causing the first connecting block A7 to move. The first connecting block A7 is slidably connected to the first guide rod A37, which guides the movement of the first connecting block A7. The transmission device A5 includes a third rack A20, a transmission gear A19, a fourth rack A21, a second guide rod A22, and a limiting guide rail A23. The third rack A20 is connected to the first connecting block A7, and the fourth rack A21 is connected to the second connecting block A9. The transmission gear A19 meshes with the third rack A20 and the fourth rack A21. The second connecting block A9 is slidably connected to the second guide rod A22. The connecting block A9 is provided with a connecting slider A38 that is slidably connected to the limiting guide rail A23. The first connecting block A7 and the second connecting block A9 both include a supporting slider A39, a mounting plate A24, and a connecting protrusion A25. The mounting plate A24 is mounted on the supporting slider A39. The connecting protrusion A25 is provided with a plurality of first connecting posts A26. The mounting plate A24 is provided with a plurality of guide holes A27 for the first connecting posts A26 to pass through. The connecting protrusion A25 is slidably connected to the mounting plate A24 through the first connecting posts 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. The other end of the connecting device is connected to the first flipping device A6.

[0040] The second drive motor A18 drives the lead screw A36 to rotate, thereby moving the first connecting block A7. Simultaneously, the first guide rod A37 acts as a guide, ensuring the smooth movement of the first connecting block A7. This, in turn, allows the first conveying device A2 to smoothly move the differential housing. The movement of the first connecting block A7 moves the third rack A20, which in turn drives the transmission gear A19 to rotate, thereby moving the fourth rack A21. The movement of the fourth rack A21 then moves the second connecting block A9. The second guide rod A22 and the limiting guide rail A23 ensure the stable movement of the second connecting block A9. To 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 post 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 the role of driving the connecting shaft A29 to move, and the first flipping device A6 plays the role of rotating the connecting shaft A29, thereby achieving the function of flipping during the movement of the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3.

[0041] To elaborate further, the first flipping device A6 includes a cam groove A31 disposed on the first support base plate A1 and a mounting block A32 for connecting the connecting shaft A29. The mounting block A32 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft A29. The mounting block A32 is provided with a movable slider A33, which is located in the cam groove A31. The movable slider A33 can slide in the cam groove A31 to drive the mounting block A32 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft A29 to rotate. The cam groove A31 includes a flipping section A34 and translation sections A35 disposed at both ends of the flipping section A34. The flipping section A34 is V-shaped.

[0042] The movable slider A33 can slide within the cam groove A31, causing the mounting block A32 to rotate, thereby rotating the connecting shaft A29. There are two cam grooves A31, used for flipping the first conveyor A2 and the second conveyor A3 respectively. The movement of the movable slider A33 within the cam groove A31 causes the mounting block A32 to rotate, which in turn rotates the connecting shaft A29, thus rotating either the first conveyor A2 or the second conveyor A3. When the movable slider A33 is in the translation section A35, it does not cause the mounting block A32 to rotate. When the movable slider A33 enters the flipping section A34, the increased distance between the movable slider A33 and the mounting plate A24 causes the mounting block A32 to rotate. When the movable block moves to the lowest end of the V-shape, as shown in the attached instruction manual... Figure 5 As shown, mounting block A32 is in a state perpendicular to mounting plate A24. At this time, the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3 are flipped. When the moving slider A33 continues to slide forward, mounting block A32 will continue to flip under the action of inertia until the moving slider A33 moves to the new translation segment A35, completing the flipping of the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3.

[0043] One end of the first support base plate A1 is the loading station for the differential housing, and the other end is the gripping station for the transfer device 2. In this scheme, the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3 alternately transport the differential housing. That is, when the first conveying device A2 is at the loading station, the second conveying device A3 is at the gripping station. The first conveying device A2 first grips the first differential housing from the loading station. After gripping, the first driving device A4 drives the first differential housing to move, so that the first conveying device A2 moves to the gripping station for the transfer device 2 to hold. At the same time, under the action of the transmission device A5, the second conveying device A3 moves to the loading station to wait for the new differential housing to be loaded. During the movement of the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3, the first flipping device A6 flips the first conveying device A2 and the second conveying device A3 by 180 degrees, which makes it convenient for the workers to install the differential housing on the first conveying device A2 or the second conveying device A3. Similarly, it also makes it convenient for the differential housing located at the gripping station to be transferred by the transfer device 2.

[0044] To elaborate further, the transfer device 2 includes a support base B1 and a housing B2 disposed on the support base B1. The housing B2 is rotatably connected to the support base B1. A first clamping device B3 is disposed at both ends of the housing B2. The support base B1 is provided with a second flipping device B4 for flipping the housing B2. A first support block B5 and a second support block B6 are disposed on the support base B1. The first support block B5 is provided with a first rotating shaft B7. The second support block B6 is rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft B8. The first rotating shaft B7 is used to connect the second flipping device B4, and the second rotating shaft B8 is used to connect the housing B2. The arrangement of the first rotating shaft B7 and the second rotating shaft B8 is to ensure that the housing B2 will not be displaced when it rotates, thus ensuring that the housing B2 flips smoothly.

[0045] The support frame assembly 5 is equipped with a drive telescopic rod 6. The transfer device 2 is slidably connected to the support frame assembly 5. The drive telescopic rod 6 is used to drive the transfer device 2 to slide, so that the transfer device 2 is close to the feeding device 1, the processing device 3, or the recycling device 4.

[0046] In further detail, the second flipping device B4 includes a third drive motor B9, a second driving gear B10, a second driven gear B11, and a belt B12. The second driving gear B10 is mounted on the output shaft of the third drive motor B9, and the second driven gear B11 is mounted on the first rotating shaft B7. The second driving gear B10 and the second driven gear B11 are connected by the belt B12. Two second connecting posts B13 are provided on the second driven gear B11, and the second connecting posts B13 are connected to the housing B2. The first clamping device B3 includes a third drive device B14 and multiple second clamping members B15. The third drive device B14 is used to drive the multiple second clamping members B15 to move closer or further apart. The third drive device B14 includes a fourth drive motor B16, a support ring B17, a third driving gear B18, multiple third driven gears B19, and a second connecting post B12. A rod B20 and multiple third connecting rods B21 are provided. A third driving tooth B18 is located on the output shaft of a fourth drive motor B16. A circular rack B22 is provided on the inner side of a supporting ring B17. The third driving tooth B18 meshes with the circular rack B22 and the second connecting rod B20. A third driven tooth B19 meshes with the circular rack B22 and the third connecting rod B21. The second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 are slidably connected to the housing B2. The fourth drive motor B16 is used to drive the supporting ring B17 to rotate through the third driving tooth B18. The rotation of the supporting ring B17 drives the third driven tooth B19 to rotate. The rotation of the third driving tooth B18 drives the second connecting rod B20 to slide. The rotation of the third driven tooth B19 drives the third connecting rod B21 to slide. Both the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 are connected to a second clamping member B15.

[0047] The third drive motor B9 drives the second drive gear B10 to rotate. The second drive gear B10 drives the second driven gear B11 to rotate via the belt B12. The rotation of the second driven gear B11 drives the housing B2 to rotate. Two second connecting posts B13 are provided to increase the stability of the housing B2 during rotation. When multiple second clamping members B15 approach each other, they can clamp the differential housing. When multiple second clamping members B15 move away from each other, they release the differential housing. The support ring B17 is slidably connected to the housing B2. The fourth drive motor B16 drives the third drive gear B18 to rotate. The third drive gear B18 drives the support ring B17 to rotate and the second connecting rod B20 to slide. The support ring B17 drives the third driven gear B19 to rotate. The rotation of the third driven gear B19 drives the third connecting rod B21 to slide. The support ring B17 allows the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 to move simultaneously, ensuring stable clamping of the differential housing.

[0048] In this embodiment, the processing device 3 is located above the second flipping device B4. The two sides of the second flipping device B4 are respectively connected to the feeding device 1 and the recycling device 4, so that when the second flipping device B4 flips the differential housing, the differential housing will first pass through the processing device 3 above, and then go to the recycling device 4.

[0049] To elaborate further, the housing B2 contains multiple slide rails B23. The bottom of both the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 is provided with a first slider B24. The second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 move along the length of the first slide rails B23 via the first sliders B24. The second clamping member B15 includes a connecting bracket B26 and elastic clamps B25 disposed 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 clamps B25 include a clamp fixing frame B27, a spring B28, and a movable clamping block B29. The fixed frame B27 is connected to the connecting bracket B26. One end of the spring B28 is connected to the clamp fixed frame B27, and the other end of the spring B28 is connected to the movable clamping block B29. The clamp fixed frame B27 is provided with a clearance groove B30. A fourth connecting rod B31 is provided in the clearance groove B30. The spring B28 is sleeved on the fourth connecting rod B31. The movable clamping block B29 is provided with a clearance channel B32 for the fourth connecting rod B31 to pass through. A limiting block B33 is provided in the clearance groove B30 for limiting the movable clamping block B29. Clearance grooves are provided on both sides of the movable clamping block B29 for the limiting block B33 to slide.

[0050] By setting the slide rail B23, the sliding stability of the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21 is ensured, while also guaranteeing the direction of movement of the second connecting rod B20 and the third connecting rod B21. The spring B28 allows the elastic collet B25 to have a certain degree of automatic adjustment. When the elastic collet B25 approaches the differential housing under the action of the third drive device B14, it first compresses the spring B28, causing the movable clamping block B29 to retract inward. This ensures that when the third drive device B14 stops working, the elastic collet B25 can still hold the differential housing, preventing damage to the differential housing.

[0051] In the initial state, the first clamping device B3 approaches the feeding device 1 and clamps the differential housing on the feeding 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. The processing device 3 processes the differential housing on the first clamping device B3. After processing, the second flipping device B4 continues to flip the housing B2, so that the first clamping device B3 moves to the recycling device 4. The first clamping device B3 releases the differential housing, and the differential housing enters the recycling device 4 for recycling, completing one cycle of transporting, processing and recycling of the differential housing.

[0052] To elaborate further, the recovery device 4 includes a second support base plate C1 and a support frame C2. The base plate is rotatably connected to the support frame C2. Multiple storage racks C3 for recovering the differential housing are provided above the support frame C2. The base plate is provided with a fourth drive device C4 for driving the support frame C2 to rotate and a limiting device C5 for limiting the rotation of the support frame C2. The fourth drive device C4 is connected to the support frame C2. When the fourth drive device C4 drives the support frame C2 to rotate, the limiting device C5 releases the restriction on the support frame C2.

[0053] The support frame C2 is equipped with a loading station. The storage rack C3 located in the loading station is used to retrieve the processed differential housing. When the storage rack C3 in the loading station retrieves a differential housing, the fourth drive device C4 drives the support frame C2 to rotate. At the same time, the limiting device C5 releases the restriction on the support frame C2, allowing the support frame C2 to rotate and allowing the new storage rack C3 to enter the loading station to 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 be accurately placed on the storage rack C3.

[0054] To elaborate further, the fourth drive device C4 includes a fifth drive motor C6, a drive lever C7, and a driven plate C8. The fifth drive motor C6 is mounted on the base plate, the drive lever C7 is mounted on the output shaft of the fifth drive motor C6, and the driven plate C8 is mounted on the support frame C2. The fifth drive motor C6 drives the drive lever C7 to rotate, and the drive lever C7 rotates to drive the driven plate C8 to rotate. The drive lever C7 is provided with an insert C9, and the driven plate C8 is provided with multiple sliding grooves C10. The insert C9 can be inserted into the sliding grooves C10, and the insert C9 can slide along the length of the sliding grooves C10.

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

[0056] In further detail, the limiting device C5 includes a limiting disc C11, which has a clearance notch C12. A limiting arc notch C13 is provided between the two sliding grooves C10 for the limiting disc C11 to be engaged. The limiting disc C11 is mounted on the output shaft of the fifth drive motor C6. 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. The second support plate C15 is located at the end of the support rod C14 away from the base plate. The limiting disc C11 has multiple first weight-reducing grooves C16. The second support plate C15 has multiple second weight-reducing grooves C17. The driven piece C8 is connected to the second support plate C15 through multiple third connecting posts C18. The storage rack C3 is connected to the second support plate C15 through multiple fourth connecting posts C19. The multiple storage racks C3 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the second support plate C15.

[0057] When the clearance notch rotates to the driven plate, the drive lever also moves to the driven plate. When the drive lever drives the driven plate to rotate, the driven plate is located at the clearance notch, and the limiting disc does not limit the driven plate. When the clearance notch leaves the limiting arc notch, the arc part of the limiting disc will engage with the limiting arc notch, thus restricting the rotation of the driven disc. The driven disc does not affect the rotation of the limiting disc. The second support plate serves to support the storage rack. It is equipped with a first weight reduction groove and a second weight reduction groove to reduce the driving force required by the fifth drive motor. At the same time, the third and fourth connecting columns are provided to ensure the stability of the support plate and support frame during rotation.
