[0025] The utility model is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the utility model and are not used to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the utility model, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by this application.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the cylinder tile cover structure. In the figure, there are 5 tile covers 1 installed on the cylinder 2, and the tile covers 1 are installed on the cylinder 2 in sequence. The cylinder tile cover installation mechanism provided in this embodiment mainly grabs the tile cover 1 from the previous station and places it on the corresponding position of the cylinder 2, so that the tile cover 1 can be fixed by screws later.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the cylinder tile cover installation mechanism provided in this embodiment. This mechanism is mainly composed of three parts: a cylinder positioning assembly 3, a tile cover picking clamp assembly 4 and a tile cover installation clamp assembly 5. The cylinder positioning assembly 3 is mainly used to fix the cylinder 2 at the installation station. After the cylinder 2 is fixed, the tile cover 1 is grabbed by the tile cover picking clamp assembly 4 and sent to the tile cover installation clamp assembly 5. The tile cover 1 is installed on the cylinder 2 through the tile cover installation clamp assembly 5. In this embodiment, the tile cover picking clamp assembly 4 is located on one side of the cylinder positioning assembly 3, and the tile cover installation clamp assembly 5 is located on the upper part of the cylinder positioning assembly 3.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the tile cover picking jaw assembly 4 of this embodiment is mainly used to grab the tile cover 1 located on the workbench on one side of it, and it mainly includes a tile cover picking horizontal moving assembly 41, a tile cover picking lifting assembly 42, a swing table cylinder 43, a swinging air claw 44 and a tile cover picking single jaw 45.

[0029] In the above structure, the tile cover material taking horizontal moving assembly 41 is controlled by an electric cylinder, which can realize horizontal left and right movement, and can conveniently grab the tile cover 1 from the workbench through horizontal movement. The tile cover material taking lifting assembly 42 is mainly used to realize up and down movement, so as to send the tile cover 1 upward to the position of the tile cover installation clamping claw assembly 5. The swing table cylinder 43 can realize swinging, which can realize multi-angle control in cooperation with the tile cover material taking horizontal moving assembly 41 to facilitate the grabbing of the tile cover 1. The swinging air claw 44 mainly adopts a pneumatic structure to realize the grabbing and flipping of the tile cover 1.

[0030] Before installing the tile cover 1, it is generally necessary to press the pin sleeve first. When the pin sleeve is pressed, the position of the tile cover 1 is exactly opposite to the position when the tile cover 1 is installed on the cylinder body 2. Therefore, when the tile cover 1 is grabbed from the workbench and enters the installation position, it is necessary to perform a flipping action, and the flipping action is controlled by the above-mentioned swinging air claw 44. The tile cover material picking jaw assembly 4 of the above-mentioned structure moves as follows: first, the tile cover material picking horizontal moving assembly 41 is translated toward the position close to the workbench, the swing table cylinder 43 swings to make the tile cover material picking single jaw 45 enter the grabbing station, and the swinging air claw 44 moves to make the tile cover material picking single jaw 45 clamp the tile cover 1, and then the tile cover material picking horizontal moving assembly 41 moves toward the direction close to the tile cover installation jaw assembly 5, the swing table cylinder 43 resets, the tile cover material picking lifting assembly 42 moves upward, and the swinging air claw 44 moves to flip the tile cover 1. As the tile cover 1 moves upward, it enters the tile cover installation jaw assembly 5 and is fixed. Finally, the tile cover material picking jaw assembly 4 continues to grab the next tile cover 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the tile cover installation clamp assembly 5 is mainly used to press the tile cover 1 onto the cylinder body 2. Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The tile cover installation clamping jaw assembly 5 is connected to the tile cover installation lifting assembly 7 and the tile cover installation translation assembly 6.

[0032] The tile cover installation lifting assembly 7 is mainly used to control the descent of the tile cover 1 so that it is pressed downward onto the cylinder body 2, and the tile cover installation translation assembly 6 is mainly used to adjust the horizontal position. Figure 1 A total of five tile covers 1 are installed on the cylinder body 2 shown. The positions of the five tile covers 1 are adjusted by means of the tile cover installation translation assembly 6, and the five tile covers 1 are installed on the cylinder body 2 one by one.

[0033] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the tile cover installation translation assembly 6 mainly includes a tile cover installation slide plate 61 and a driving motor, the tile cover installation lifting assembly 7 is arranged on the tile cover installation slide plate 61, and the tile cover installation clamping assembly 5 is arranged under the installation slide plate 61 and connected to the tile cover installation lifting assembly 7.

[0034] In this embodiment, the tile cover installation clamping jaw assembly 5 mainly includes two tile cover installation clamping jaw rods 51 and two clamping jaw hanging plates 53. The tile cover installation clamping jaw rods 51 are outside and the clamping jaw hanging plates 53 are inside. The two clamping jaw hanging plates 53 are connected to the finger cylinder 52. The finger cylinder 52 controls the relative movement of the two clamping jaw hanging plates 53. When the tile cover 1 conveyed by the tile cover material taking clamping jaw assembly 4 moves upward, the two tile cover installation clamping jaw rods 51 are inserted into the two installation holes of the tile cover 1 for positioning, and then the finger cylinder 52 is actuated to move the two clamping jaw hanging plates 53 to the bottom of the tile cover 1 to prevent the tile cover 1 from falling. Figure 5 As shown, when the tile cover installation lifting assembly 7 moves downward to the installation position of the cylinder body 2, the finger cylinder 52 opens and the tile cover 1 is installed to the corresponding position of the cylinder body 2. The above structure has the advantages of simple design and flexible movement.

[0035] In a preferred solution provided in this embodiment, two sets of tile cover installation clamping assemblies 5 are arranged in parallel, and the two sets of tile cover installation clamping assemblies 5 have the same structure, but the spacing and size of the tile cover installation clamping rods 51 are different. The two sets of tile cover installation clamping assemblies 5 are respectively connected to independent tile cover installation lifting assemblies 7. Because the sizes of the tile covers 1 installed for different cylinder bodies 2 are slightly different, two sets of tile cover installation clamping assemblies 5 are designed so that the mechanism can realize the installation of two types of tile covers 1 of different sizes.
