Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts processing, in particular to an automobile parts turning tool. Background Art

[0002] During the production and processing of automotive parts, they need to be processed, assembled or tested at different angles. Some processing processes require operations on multiple sides of the parts, and the flip tooling can ensure that the parts can be operated at the correct angle and position during the processing, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the processing.

[0003] Traditional auto parts flipping tooling relies on simple mechanical devices or manual operations and cannot provide precise clamping and flipping control. This means that during the flipping process, the angle and position of the parts cannot be accurately controlled, which will easily lead to inaccurate flipping angles and dimensional deviations or shape distortions in the processed parts. In addition, the lack of precise control will increase the time cost of debugging and correction, and reduce production efficiency. Moreover, traditional tooling usually flips along a fixed trajectory. This state reduction limits the tooling to parts of specific shapes and sizes and cannot flexibly adapt to different processing requirements. Therefore, when encountering parts with complex shapes or irregular sizes, traditional tooling cannot provide appropriate clamping and flipping support, resulting in reduced processing efficiency and even requiring additional tooling customization or adjustment, increasing production and time costs.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present invention should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the automobile parts turning tool comprises: a fixing seat 1, a first fixing plate 2 and a second fixing plate 3 are fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the fixing seat 1, a through hole 4 is penetrated in the middle of the second fixing plate 3, and a slide groove 5 is also opened on the second fixing plate 3; a turning assembly, which is rotatably installed in the through hole 4, and the turning assembly is used to turn over the clamped automobile parts; a clamping assembly, which is arranged at one end of the turning assembly, and the clamping assembly is used to clamp the automobile parts;

[0032] First, the fixing seat 1 is firmly installed on a workbench or other support, and the automobile parts to be processed are placed in the clamping assembly to ensure that the clamping assembly can firmly clamp the parts to prevent them from loosening or falling off during the flipping process. The position of the clamping assembly can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the position and direction of the parts meet the requirements after flipping. At this time, the flipping assembly is operated to flip and drive the clamping assembly to flip and move. Once the parts reach the required position or angle, the flipping operation is stopped to ensure that the parts and tooling are firmly fixed in place. Finally, further operations are performed as needed, such as inspection, repair, assembly, etc.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the flip assembly includes a positioning plate 10 rotatably mounted on one side of the through hole 4, and a rotating rod 13 slidably mounted inside the slide groove 5. A positioning groove 11 is opened on one side of the positioning plate 10, and a sliding block 14 is arranged at the bottom of the rotating rod 13 to adapt to the slide groove 5, and the sliding block 14 is arranged through the positioning groove 11. The first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 15 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the rotating rod 13, respectively. The clamping assembly includes a connecting plate 16 fixedly mounted on the other end of the second sleeve 15, a mounting plate 17 fixedly mounted on the other end of the connecting plate 16, and two clamping blocks 19 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 17. The two clamping blocks 19 are arranged opposite to each other, and the through hole 4 is opened through the first fixed plate 2 , and a rotating motor 9 is fixedly installed on the other side of the first fixed plate 2, the output end of the rotating motor 9 is set through the through hole 4, one end of the positioning plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor 9, the slide 5 is opened in a "C" shape, and the opening length of the positioning groove 11 is adapted to the opening angle of the slide 5, wherein the first fixed plate 2 is set in a right-angle trapezoidal shape, and the second fixed plate 3 is provided with a trapezoidal opening 6 at the trapezoidal inclined surface position close to the first fixed plate 2, and a rotating bearing 7 is penetrated on one side of the first fixed plate 2, the rotating bearing 7 is rotatably installed and located inside the trapezoidal opening 6, and a limit block 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating bearing 7, and the limit block 8 is set in a "U" shape and wrapped around the rotating rod 13;

[0034] When the flipping assembly is flipping, first clamp the automobile parts to be processed between the clamping blocks 19 to ensure that the parts are firmly clamped, and then start the rotating motor 9, which will transmit power to one end of the positioning plate 10 through its output end. The coordinated use of the positioning plate 10 and the rotating rod 13 allows one end of the rotating rod 13 to move inside the slide groove 5 through the rotating block at the bottom. The design of the positioning groove 11 ensures the correct position and direction of the rotating rod 13, and guides the rotating rod 13 to be positioned through the positioning groove 11 while sliding along the slide groove 5. At this time, the sliding block 14 will slide inside the slide groove 5, thereby controlling the rotation direction and speed of the rotating rod 13. When the parts are flipped to the required position, stop the rotating motor 9. The positioning plate 10 and the rotating rod 13 will stop moving, and the clamping block 19 will also be firmly maintained in the required position. By limiting the movement of the rotating rod 13 in the C-shaped slide groove 5, the flipping angle can be accurately controlled, and the rotating rod 13 can be driven to have no clear movement trajectory when flipping, presenting an irregular arc flipping state, ensuring that the parts are flipped within the required angle range, not limited to a fixed trajectory, and can be freely adjusted and changed according to specific needs to meet the special processing requirements of different parts. For some parts with complex shapes or requiring special processing angles, this irregular arc flipping state can better adapt to their shape and processing requirements, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, one end of the two clamping blocks 19 is provided with a gear 20, and the two gears 20 are meshed with each other, and the teeth on the two gears 20 are arranged in a semicircular shape, and a positioning rod 21 is rotatably installed in the middle of the two clamping blocks 19 and is rotatably connected to the other side of the mounting plate 17, and a servo motor 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 17, and the output end of the servo motor 18 passes through the mounting plate 17 and is fixedly connected to one of the gears 20, and a plurality of clamping teeth 22 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the other sides of the two clamping blocks 19;

[0036] Through the output of the servo motor 18, the relative position and angle of the two clamping blocks 19 can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise clamping of the clamped parts. When the servo motor 18 outputs, it drives one of the gears 20 to rotate. At this time, the other gear 20 can move synchronously to ensure that the clamping force between the clamping blocks 19 is evenly distributed, and will not cause damage or instability to the parts due to different speeds or asymmetric movements. Accurate clamping control can improve processing efficiency and ensure that the parts maintain a stable position and direction during the processing, thereby reducing processing errors and improving product quality. The connection between the positioning rod 21 and the mounting plate 17 allows the clamping block 19 to be rotated and adjusted in a fixed position to meet the processing requirements of parts of different shapes and sizes. The setting of the clamping teeth 22 enables the clamping block 19 to firmly clamp parts of various shapes, thereby enhancing the versatility and applicability of the tooling.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, slide rails 23 are fixedly installed on both sides of the second fixed plate 3, and stoppers 24 are slidably mounted on the two slide rails 23. The angle between the two stoppers 24 is set to be between 90° and 120°.

[0038] By moving the stopper 24 on the slide rail 23, the angle therebetween can be changed between 90° and 120°, and the maximum flipping angle reached by the rotating rod 13 during flipping can be adjusted to block it, ensuring that the parts reach the required angle during the flipping process, which helps to improve the accuracy and consistency of product processing.

[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples. Under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments may be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.

[0040] The utility model is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the utility model.
