Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: A movable, interchangeable vehicle rotation device includes a mounting frame 1, a switching frame 2, a lower support plate 3, an upper support plate 4, support rollers 5, limiting rollers 6, a positioning assembly, and a rotation drive assembly. The mounting frame 1 is fixedly mounted on the output section of the rotation drive assembly at its center. At least two sets of parallel lower support plates 3 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the mounting frame 1. Support rollers 5, which cooperate with the upper support plates 4, are rotatably mounted on the lower support plates 3. The switching frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper support plate 4. A limiting block 7 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame 1. A limiting roller 6, which cooperates with the side of the upper support plate 4, is rotatably mounted on the limiting block 7. A positioning assembly is provided between the mounting frame 1 and the switching frame 2. Both the positioning assembly and the rotation drive assembly are electrically connected to a control center. A roller seat 43 is provided on the lower support plate 3. Roller grooves 44 are provided on both ends of the roller seat 43. The support rollers 5 are rotatably mounted in the roller grooves 44 and cooperate with the roller grooves 44. The mounting frame 1 has lower support plates 3 fixed at both ends. The lower support plates 3 are used to mount roller seats 43, which in turn mount support rollers 5. The upper support plate 4 is fixed to the switching frame 2 and can move on the support rollers 5, making it easier to move the switching frame 2 and reducing the difficulty of replacing it. Small fixtures on the switching frame 2 are used to fix automotive parts. The rotary drive assembly drives the mounting frame 1 to rotate 180 degrees. The mounting frame 1 can only rotate 180 degrees at a time and returns 180 degrees after processing. The positioning assembly precisely positions the end of the switching frame 2. With accurate positioning of the switching frame 2, the positioning of parts on the small fixtures on the switching frame 2 will also be more accurate. The limiting roller 6 cooperates with the side of the upper support plate 4 on one side of the switching frame 2, facilitating side positioning of the switching frame 2. The control center is existing technology. Under the control of the control center, the mounting frame 1 achieves intelligent rotation on the rotary drive assembly, and the positioning assembly automatically and accurately positions the switching frame 2 onto the mounting frame 1.

[0019] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly includes a positioning connector 8, a first contact block 9, a second contact block 10, and an adjusting plate 11. The positioning connector 8 is fixedly mounted on the end of the lower support plate 3. The first contact block 9 is fixedly mounted on the positioning connector 8 via the adjusting plate 11. The second contact block 10 is fixed to the end of the switching frame 2 via the adjusting plate 11, and the end of the second contact block 10 is arc-shaped and mates with the end of the first contact block 9. The positioning connector 8 is fixed to the support plate 3 and used to mount the first contact block 9. The adjusting plate 11, located between the first contact block 9 and the positioning connector 8, is used to adjust the horizontal distance between them. The adjusting plate 11, located between the switching frame 2 and the second contact block 10, is used to switch the horizontal distance between the end of the frame 2 and the second contact block 10. When the positions of the first contact block 9 and the second contact block 10 are matched, precise positioning of the switching frame 2 can be achieved.

[0020] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly further includes a detection bracket 12, a first detection sensor 13, a positioning drive 14, a positioning pin 15, a pin seat 16, and a positioning base 17. The detection bracket 12 is fixedly mounted on the positioning connecting seat 8. The first detection sensor 13 is fixedly mounted on the detection bracket 12 and engages with the end of the switching frame 2. The positioning drive 14 and the pin seat 16 are both fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1. The pin seat 16 has a sliding hole that engages with the positioning pin 15. The positioning base 17 is fixedly mounted on the switching frame 2 and has a positioning hole that engages with the end of the positioning base 17. The lower end of the positioning pin 15 is fixedly mounted on the output portion of the positioning drive 14. The detection bracket 12 is used to mount the first detection sensor 13, which is a distance detection sensor in the prior art. The first detection sensor 13 is electrically connected to the control center. The positioning drive 14 is a cylinder in the prior art. The positioning drive 14 is in sealed communication with the air source through a first solenoid valve, which is electrically connected to the control center. The positioning pin 15 is coaxially fixed on the output part of the positioning drive 14. When the first detection sensor 13 detects that the switching frame 2 has moved to the preset position, it transmits the signal to the first solenoid valve. The first solenoid valve controls the positioning drive 14 to drive the positioning pin 15 to be inserted into the positioning hole on the positioning seat 17. At this time, the switching frame 2 cannot move on the mounting frame 1. The pin seat 16 plays a stabilizing role for the positioning pin 15. The positioning drive 14 is tilted due to force, which causes the position of the switching frame 2 to be inaccurate.

[0021] In some embodiments, the rotary drive assembly includes a base 18, a rotating seat 19, a reducer 20, a rotary drive component 21, a position plate 22, a limiting strip 23, and a side adjustment block 24. A mounting bracket 1 is fixedly mounted on the rotating seat 19, which is rotatably mounted on the base 18. The rotary drive component 21 is fixedly mounted on the base 18 via the reducer 20 and is used to drive the rotating seat 19 to rotate. The base 18 is mounted on the position plate 22, and a limiting strip 23 that mates with the side of the base 18 is fixedly mounted on the position plate 22. A side adjustment block 24 is fixedly mounted on the position plate 22, and a first adjusting bolt 25 that mates with the base 18 is threaded onto the side adjustment block 24. A second adjusting bolt 26 that mates with the position plate 22 is threaded onto the base 18. The rotary drive component 21 is a motor (as in the prior art) and is electrically connected to a control center. The rotating seat 19 and the reducer 20 are connected via a gear transmission component (as in the prior art). Therefore, the rotary drive component 21 drives the rotating seat 19 to rotate on the base 18 via the reducer 20. Position plate 22 is fixed to the ground to support base 18. Base 18 has a square cross-section. Position plate 22 is provided with four sets of limiting strips 23 that respectively cooperate with the four sides of base 18. Side adjustment block 24 is fixed on position plate 22 to install first adjusting bolt 25. The end of first adjusting bolt 25 abuts against the side of base 18 to fine adjust the position of base 18. Second adjusting bolt 26 is provided on base 18 with its end abutting against position plate 22, so as to adjust whether switching frame 2 is in a horizontal state.

[0022] In some embodiments, the rotary drive assembly further includes a locking seat 27, a locking pin 28, a locking drive component 29, a locking plate 30, a detection ear 31, and a second detection sensor 32. The locking seat 27 is fixedly mounted on the position plate 22, the locking drive component 29 is fixedly mounted on the locking seat 27, the locking pin 28 is fixedly mounted on the output portion of the locking drive component 29, the locking plate 30 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and has a locking hole 33 that mates with the locking pin 28, a detection ear 31 is fixedly mounted on the locking plate 30, and a second detection sensor 32 that mates with the detection ear 31 is mounted on the locking seat 27. The locking drive component 29 is a cylinder as described in the prior art, and it is in sealed communication with a gas source via a second solenoid valve. Both the second solenoid valve and the second detection sensor 32 are electrically connected to the control center. The second detection sensor 32 is a metal detection sensor in the prior art. After detecting the detection ear 31 made of metal material, the second detection sensor 32 transmits a limit signal to the control center. The control center controls the locking drive 29 to work through the second solenoid valve and pushes the locking pin 28 into the locking hole 33 on the locking plate 30. The locking plate 30 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1. The locking drive 29 is fixed to the position plate 22 through the locking seat 27, thereby restricting the rotation of the mounting bracket 1. The upper part of the locking seat 27 is provided with a through hole. The lower end of the locking pin 28 passes through the through hole and is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the locking drive 29.

[0023] In some embodiments, auxiliary support blocks 34 are fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting frame 1. The auxiliary support blocks 34 cooperate with auxiliary wheels 35, and the auxiliary wheels 35 are rotatably mounted on auxiliary seats 36. The auxiliary seats 36 are fixedly mounted on auxiliary bases 46 via auxiliary plates 37. Each end of the mounting frame 1 is equipped with a switching frame 2. After multiple small tooling fixtures are installed on the switching frame 2, its overall weight is relatively large, causing the mounting frame 1 to bend. This results in inaccurate positioning of automotive parts on the switching frame 2. The auxiliary support blocks 34 are fixed to the mounting frame 1 to cooperate with the auxiliary wheels 35. The auxiliary seats 36 are used to mount the auxiliary wheels 35. The auxiliary plates 37 are positioned between the auxiliary seats 36 and the auxiliary bases 46 to adjust the height of the auxiliary wheels 35. The auxiliary bases 46 are fixed to the ground in the manufacturing plant.

[0024] In some embodiments, a travel seat 38 is fixedly mounted on the auxiliary plate 37, a travel switch 39 is mounted on the travel seat 38, a travel plate 40 is fixedly mounted on the travel switch 39, a travel wheel 41 is rotatably mounted on the travel plate 40, and a travel block 42 that cooperates with the travel wheel 41 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1. The travel seat 38 is used to mount the prior art travel switch 39, and the travel switch 39 is electrically connected to the control center. The travel wheel 41 is mounted on the travel switch 39 via the travel plate 40. During the rotation of the mounting frame 1, it drives the travel block 42 to rotate as well. After the travel block 42 contacts the travel wheel 41, the travel switch 39 cuts off the power supply connected to the rotary drive component 21 through the control center, thus preventing the mounting frame 1 from continuing to rotate.

[0025] In some embodiments, a partition protective net 45 is fixedly installed on the middle part of the mounting frame 1. A switching frame 2 is installed at both ends of the mounting frame 1. Parts on one switching frame 2 are processed, while parts on the other switching frame 2 are disassembled after processing and installed without processing. The partition protective net 45 is installed to prevent accidents on the processing side from injuring workers on the loading and unloading sides.
