[0013] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 An automated loading and unloading equipment for automotive parts includes a ceiling rail 1 and a base plate 7, as well as a suspension hook 2, a dual-station painting and material transfer mechanism 4 and a reversing transport mechanism 5. The upper end of the substrate 7 is equipped with a dual-station paint transfer mechanism 4 for moving the car chassis body 3 to perform painting operations. The dual-station painting material transfer mechanism 4 includes a ring-shaped ground rail conveyor 41, a placement seat 42, and a positioning and fixing component 43; the ring-shaped ground rail conveyor 41 is fixedly installed on the upper rear side of the base plate 7; a plurality of placement seats 42 are fixedly installed on the moving end of the ring-shaped ground rail conveyor 41; a positioning and fixing component 43 for limiting the placement seats 42 is installed on the front end shell of the ring-shaped ground rail conveyor 41. The left side of substrate 7 is set as the unloading station; the right side of substrate 7 is set as the loading station. The upper end of the substrate 7 is also equipped with a reversing transport mechanism 5 for moving the car chassis body 3 on the ceiling rail 1 to the placement seat 42 to facilitate painting operations. The reversing conveying mechanism 5 includes a gantry frame 51, an XYZ three-axis linear module 52, and a control component; the gantry frame 51 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 7; the two XYZ three-axis linear modules 52 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the gantry frame 51. The control components are installed on the Z-axis moving end of the XYZ three-axis linear module 52; A suspension hook 2 is fixedly installed on the moving end of the overhead track 1; The front left and right sides of the vehicle chassis body 3 are provided with clamping grooves 31 for use with the control components; In this invention, the car chassis body 3, which needs to be painted, is vertically hung on the suspension hook 2. The overhead rail 1 moves the car chassis body 3 to the loading station. Then, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 of the loading station moves the control component forward. The control component then clamps and fixes the car chassis body 3. The XYZ three-axis linear module 52 then drives the control component to move upward first to remove the car chassis body 3 from the suspension hook 2, and then moves backward. During the movement, the control component also controls the car chassis body 3 to rotate downward 90 degrees to a horizontal state, and the end of the car chassis body 3 that needs to be painted faces upward. Finally, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 drives the control component to move above the loading station placement seat 42 and places the car chassis body 3 on the placement seat 42; Subsequently, the positioning and fixing component 43 releases the lock on the loading station placement seat 42, and then the circular ground rail conveyor 41 drives the placement seat 42 to move towards the paint booth for painting operations. After the placement seat 42 moves the car floor body 3, which has completed the painting operation, to the unloading station, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 of the unloading station drives the control component to remove the car floor body 3 from the placement seat 42, then rotates the car floor body 3 back to its original position, and hangs the car floor body 3 on the suspension hook 2 of the unloading station. Finally, the overhead rail 1 moves the car floor body 3, which has completed the painting operation, to the next processing step.

[0014] Through the cooperation of the gantry 51, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 and the control components, the device can automatically load and unload the car floor body 3 that needs to be painted, and can make the side of the car floor body 3 that needs to be painted face upwards. After the painting operation is completed, the car floor body 3 is restored to the initial loading posture for unloading, which improves the overall automation level of the device. Through the cooperation of the circular ground rail conveyor 41, the placement seat 42 and the positioning and fixing component 43, the device can drive the automobile floor body 3 to move between different processes, and also ensure the complete exposure of the paint on the automobile floor body 3, reducing the extra workload of manually intervening in the painting operation of the automobile floor body 3.

[0015] Example 2: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning and fixing assembly 43 includes an L-shaped fixing plate 431, a clamping push cylinder 432, a push plate 433, a drive rack 434, a driven gear 435, and a limiting plate 436; the L-shaped fixing plate 431 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the front end of the outer shell of the annular ground rail conveyor 41. The clamping push cylinder 432 is fixedly installed at the front end of the L-shaped fixing plate 431; The output end of the clamping push cylinder 432 is fixedly connected to the push plate 433; drive racks 434 are fixedly installed on both the left and right ends of the push plate 433. Driven gears 435 are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the upper end of the L-shaped fixing plate 431; The drive rack 434 is meshed with the two driven gears 435 on the left and right sides; The driven gear 435 is also fixedly connected to the limiting plate 436; The control components include a U-shaped limiting plate 53, a reversing push cylinder 54, a flipping plate 55, a double-headed synchronous push cylinder 56, and a clamping plate 57; the U-shaped limiting plate 53 is fixedly connected to the Z-axis moving end of the XYZ three-axis linear module 52. The reversing push cylinder 54 is hinged to the inner wall of the U-shaped limiting plate 53; The left and right ends of the flip plate 55 are rotatably installed on the lower side of the left and right inner walls of the U-shaped limiting plate 53; The output end of the reversing push cylinder 54 is hinged to the rear side of the tilting plate 55; A double-headed synchronous push cylinder 56 is fixedly installed at the front end of the flip plate 55; the output ends on the left and right sides of the double-headed synchronous push cylinder 56 are fixedly connected to the clamping plate 57. In this invention, the car floor body 3, which needs to be painted, is vertically hung on the suspension hook 2. The overhead rail 1 moves the car floor body 3 to the loading station. Then, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 of the loading station moves the U-shaped limiting plate 53 forward. Then, the double-headed synchronous push cylinder 56 moves the two left and right clamping plates 57 towards each other. During the movement, the clamping plates 57 will engage with the clamping groove 31, thereby completing the fixation of the car floor body 3. Subsequently, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 controls the U-shaped limiting plate 53 to move upward first, removing the car floor body 3 from the suspension hook 2. Then, it controls the car floor body 3 to move backward. During the movement, the reversing push cylinder 54 pulls the flip plate 55 to rotate 90 degrees upward around the U-shaped limiting plate 53, so that the car floor body 3 rotates downward to a horizontal state; and the end of the car floor body 3 that needs to be painted faces upward. Finally, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 moves the car chassis body 3 to above the loading station placement seat 42, and then the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 moves the car chassis body 3 downward to place the car chassis body 3 on the placement seat 42. Then, the clamping cylinder 432 pushes the push plate 433 to move backward. During the movement, the drive rack 434 drives the driven gear 435 to rotate, so that the limit plate 436 rotates synchronously with the driven gear 435. At this time, the limit plates 436 on the left and right sides rotate in opposite directions and separate from the placement seat 42. Then, the ring rail conveyor 41 drives the placement seat 42 to move towards the paint booth for painting. After the placement seat 42 moves the car floor body 3, which has completed the painting operation, to the unloading station, the placement seat 42 at the unloading station moves the clamping plate 57 to remove the car floor body 3 from the placement seat 42. Then, the car floor body 3 is rotated back to its original position and hung on the suspension hook 2 at the unloading station. Finally, the overhead rail 1 moves the car floor body 3, which has completed the painting operation, to the next processing step.

[0016] Example 3: In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a material distribution mechanism 6 for detecting the car floor body 3 after the painting operation is completed is also installed on the upper left side of the substrate 7.

The support plate 64 is fixedly installed at the front end of the rotating disk 63; the CCD 65 is fixedly installed on the support plate 64. The material distribution linear conveyor 66 is fixedly installed on the upper left side of the base plate 7; In this invention, after the placement seat 42 moves the car floor body 3, which has completed the painting operation, to the unloading station, the material distribution motor 62 drives the rotating disk 63 to rotate forward to perform visual inspection on the car floor body 3, which has completed the painting operation, to determine whether the painting of the car floor body 3 is uniform and meets the production requirements; if the inspection fails, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 of the unloading station takes out the car floor body 3 and places it on the material distribution linear conveyor 66, and then the material distribution linear conveyor 66 drives the car floor body 3 that fails the inspection to be reworked; If the inspection is qualified, the XYZ three-axis linear module 52 of the unloading station drives the clamping plate 57 to take the car floor body 3 out of the placement seat 42, then rotates the car floor body 3 back to its original position, and hangs the car floor body 3 on the suspension hook 2 of the unloading station. Finally, the ceiling rail 1 drives the car floor body 3, which has completed the painting operation, to move to the next processing step. With the cooperation of CCD65 and linear conveyor 66, the device can perform visual inspection on the car floor body 3 after the painting operation is completed, and separate the unqualified car floor body 3, thereby ensuring the quality of the car floor body 3 output.
