Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of hydraulic cylinder assembly flipping fixtures, specifically relating to a universal fixture for realizing the horizontal docking and flipping of hydraulic cylinder assembly parts. Background Technology
[0002] As the core actuator of a hydraulic system, hydraulic cylinders require precise fixing and horizontal alignment during assembly. After alignment, they need frequent rotation to accommodate other components during assembly, lubrication checks, and other operational needs. For example, various actuators, dampers, and buffers all require precise alignment and rotation checks to ensure proper assembly. The accuracy of this assembly directly impacts the overall performance of the product.
[0003] The existing hydraulic cylinder parts docking and flipping mechanisms have the following technical defects: 1. Poor adaptability: Most mechanisms are specially designed with fixed structures and dimensions, which can only be used for parts of a single specification. They cannot meet the assembly requirements of parts such as cylinders and piston rods with different diameters and lengths. The mechanisms have low versatility and high cost. Second, the low docking accuracy and lack of coaxial guidance make it easy for parts to shift or tilt during docking, resulting in excessive coaxiality deviation and affecting the sealing performance of the hydraulic cylinder. Third, the flipping function is limited, the flipping angle adjustment range is narrow, and most can only achieve 180° one-way flipping, which cannot meet the needs of all-round assembly of parts. In addition, there is no locking mechanism during the flipping process, resulting in insufficient safety. Summary of the Invention

Through modular design, adaptive support, precise docking, and flipping, it breaks through the adaptability and precision of existing mechanisms and meets the assembly needs of various types of hydraulic cylinders.
[0005] This invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions: A universal tooling for horizontal docking and flipping of parts used in hydraulic cylinder assembly includes a fixed base, a horizontal docking assembly, a clamping and positioning assembly, and a flipping assembly.

The top of the second replacement fixing plate is slidably connected to the second clamping and positioning mechanism through the second linear slide rail. The second clamping and positioning mechanism is used to firmly clamp and position the parts to be docked.
[0009] To better realize the present invention, the clamping and positioning fixing assembly further includes a supporting V-block, a first clamping and positioning mechanism and a first replacement fixing plate.

[0015] The flipping component 4 is provided with a horizontal docking component 2 in the middle and a clamping and positioning fixing component 3 at the end of the flipping component 4. The clamping and positioning fixing component 3 is used to clamp and fix the docking parts, and the horizontal docking component 2 is used to fix the parts to be docked and drive the parts to be docked to move so as to dock with the docking parts fixed on the clamping and positioning fixing component 3.

Preferably, both ends of the first replaceable fixing plate are slidably connected to the first clamping and positioning mechanism 8 via a first linear slide rail 7. Specifically, the supporting V-block 5, the first linear slide rail 7, and the first clamping and positioning mechanism 8 are first fixed on the first replaceable fixing plate 6 to form an adjustable clamping and positioning fixing assembly 3. The first clamping and positioning mechanism 8 moves via the high-precision first linear slide rail 7. The supporting V-block 5 and the first clamping and positioning mechanism 8 work together to firmly clamp and position parts, such as outer cylinders and end caps. like Figures 7-9 As shown, the horizontal docking assembly 2 includes a second linear slide rail 9, a second clamping and positioning mechanism 10, and a second replaceable fixing plate. The top of the second replaceable fixing plate is slidably connected to the second clamping and positioning mechanism 10 via the second linear slide rail 9.

Preferably, the flipping bracket 12 has a T-shaped structure, with a horizontal docking component 2 on the main shaft and a clamping and positioning fixing component 3 on the vertical axis. Specifically, the follower rotation mechanism 13, the servo motor 14, and the transmission mechanism 15 are mounted on the flipping bracket 12 along the same axis to form the flipping assembly 4. The servo motor 14 drives the flipping bracket 12 to achieve a 0-360° flipping. The flipping angular velocity is adjusted by the servo motor 14, and the reverse mounting positioning accuracy is ensured by the servo motor 14. At the same time, a double locking function can be achieved through a manual locking mechanism 16 to ensure safety. like Figures 1-3As shown, the horizontal docking assembly 2 and the adjustable clamping and positioning fixing assembly 3 are fixed to the flipping assembly 4, and the flipping assembly 4 is fixed to the base 1. The docking parts are placed on the adjustable clamping and positioning fixing assembly 3, and the parts are kept stationary by the first clamping and positioning mechanism 8 and the support V-block 5; the parts to be docked are placed on the horizontal docking assembly 2, and the parts to be docked are kept stationary by the second clamping and positioning mechanism 10; docking is achieved by moving the horizontal docking assembly 2, so that the parts to be docked that are fixed on it move towards the parts fixed on the adjustable clamping and positioning fixing assembly 3; after docking, the flipping assembly 4 is flipped by the servo motor 14, and the double locking function at any angle is achieved by the manual locking mechanism 16.
