[0002] As an important component of railway freight cars, the middle component of the lower cover plate of the bolster requires that after front-side welding, the workpiece needs to be flipped over and the root needs to be cleaned with a carbon arc gouging machine before reverse welding. During the processing of the middle component of the lower cover plate of the bolster, in order to reduce the labor intensity of the operator, a flipping tool is used for the flipping operation of the middle component of the lower cover plate of the bolster. In order to ensure the safety of the middle component of the lower cover plate of the bolster during the flipping process, the workpiece needs to be locked before flipping, then flipped, and then the back weld needs to be cleaned and welded. In the production process of the middle component of the lower cover plate of the bolster, the locking mechanism of the flip tire usually adopts a pneumatic locking mechanism, a hydraulic locking mechanism or a calliper locking mechanism. For this part, a pneumatic motor or a hydraulic locking mechanism is used to lock the workpiece. The flip tire has a complex structure, resulting in the designed flip tire occupying a large working area. The use of a calliper to lock the workpiece will affect the operator's welding operation and affect production efficiency. Summary of the invention:
