DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] The present embodiment provides a valve body transfer device, which can transfer the position of the valve body to expose the plane to be processed of the valve body. After the top surface of the valve body is processed, the valve body is clamped by the clamping jaw assembly 30, and the Z-axis module 20 drives the clamping jaw assembly 30 to rise, so that the bottom surface of the valve body is exposed, which facilitates the processing of the bottom surface of the valve body and improves the processing efficiency. There is no need to use a robot, which saves costs and reduces the occupied space.

[0023] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the valve body transfer device of this embodiment includes a mounting bracket 10, a Z-axis module 20 located on the mounting bracket 10, and a clamping jaw assembly 30 for clamping the valve body. The Z-axis module 20 is arranged along the height direction of the mounting bracket 10. The number of the clamping jaw assemblies 30 is at least two groups, one clamping jaw assembly 30 is fixed on the mounting bracket 10, and the other clamping jaw assembly 30 moves along the length direction of the Z-axis module 20.

[0024] In this embodiment, two groups of jaw assemblies 30 are arranged opposite to each other, and one jaw assembly 30 is located directly above the other jaw assembly 30. One jaw assembly 30 grabs the valve body from the other jaw assembly 30, thereby changing the exposed surface of the valve body, which is beneficial to the subsequent processing of the valve body.

[0025] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping jaw assembly 30 includes a mounting plate 31, a driving cylinder 32 located on the mounting plate 31, a rack group 33 driven by the driving cylinder 32, and a clamping block 34 for clamping the valve body. The rack group 33 includes a first rack 331 and a second rack 332 arranged in parallel. The first rack 331 and the second rack 332 move in opposite directions. There are two clamping blocks 34, which are respectively located on the first rack 331 and the second rack 332. The clamping blocks 34 A clamping groove 341 is provided on the valve body for clamping the valve body. The clamping groove 341 is a right-angle groove, which can stably and effectively clamp the valve body. The driving cylinder 32 is connected to the first rack 331 or the second rack 332. The driving cylinder 32 drives the first rack 331 or the second rack 332, and the first rack 331 and the second rack 332 move in opposite directions, so that the clamping block 34 moves toward each other or in opposite directions, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing operation of the valve body.

[0026] Specifically, a gear 40 is provided on the mounting plate 31, and the first rack 331 and the second rack 332 are both engaged with the gear 40. When the gear 40 rotates, the first rack 331 and the second rack 332 move in opposite directions. When the driving motor drives the first rack 331 to move, under the meshing action of the gear 40, the second rack 332 moves in opposite directions with the first rack 331. When the driving motor drives the second rack 332 to move, under the meshing action of the gear 40, the first rack 331 and the second rack 332 move in opposite directions.

[0027] In this embodiment, two linear rails 50 are arranged on the mounting plate 31, and the two linear rails 50 are arranged in parallel. A slider 51 is arranged on the linear rail 50 and moves along the length direction of the linear rail 50. The clamping block 34 is connected to the slider 51 through the connecting block 60. Under the cooperation of the linear rail 50 and the slider 51, the movement of the clamping block 34 is guided, so that the clamping block 34 can accurately clamp the valve body, thereby improving the clamping accuracy.

[0028] In actual use, the valve body transfer device of this embodiment is initially clamped by the clamping jaw assembly 30 on the mounting bracket 10. At this time, the top surface of the valve body is an exposed surface, and processing operations can be performed on the top surface of the valve body. Then, the clamping jaw assembly 30 on the Z-axis module 20 clamps the valve body and rises under the driving action of the Z-axis module 20. At this time, the bottom surface of the valve body is an exposed surface, so processing operations can be performed on the bottom surface of the valve body, thereby improving processing efficiency, eliminating the need for a robot, saving costs and reducing occupied space.

[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
