Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of component assembly, and in particular relates to a transfer and flipping mechanism for bolting an air intake grille and a bolting system. Background Art

[0002] In car design, the air intake grille is an important element that cannot be ignored. It is not only an important part of the front face of the car, but also undertakes many key functions. For example, the car engine needs a lot of air during operation to support the combustion of fuel and generate power. The air intake grille allows air to enter the engine compartment smoothly to ensure that the engine can run efficiently. The car air intake grille is usually composed of accessories such as a frame, blades, and a motor. At present, the most common assembly is to assemble the blades and connecting rods first, then assemble them with the motor, fix them with bolts, and finally assemble and fix them with the frame. Since the product needs to be bolted forward and backward, the method of manual flipping is not only time-consuming, but also labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following Figure 1-Figure 4 It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0019] The utility model proposes a transfer and flipping mechanism 1 for bolting an air intake grille and a bolting system. The transfer and flipping mechanism 1 for bolting an air intake grille comprises a driving component and a flipping component arranged on one side of the driving component. In this embodiment, the driving component is a six-axis robot 9, and the driving end of the six-axis robot 9 is connected to the flipping component, and the flipping of the product is realized by the flipping component.

[0020] The flip assembly includes a back plate 3 and one or more clamping assemblies arranged on one side of the back plate 3, and the clamping assembly includes a clamping claw cylinder 31 and a clamping plate 34 connected to the clamping claw cylinder 31. To improve efficiency, two clamping assemblies are provided. Since the air intake grille is a long strip product, the clamping assemblies are arranged diagonally on the back plate to avoid mutual interference. The driving end of the six-axis robot 9 is connected to the back plate 3.

[0021] The clamping plate 34 is provided with a positioning block for clamping the product and a sensor 33 for sensing whether the product is in place. When the clamping plate 34 clamps the product, the sensor 33 can sense whether the product is in place. After the product is in place, the clamping claw cylinder 31 works to clamp the product. The position of the sensor 33 is selected according to the structure of the specific product, and no absolute limitation is made here. In this embodiment, the sensing directions of the sensor 33 are relatively arranged in space.
