Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of station conversion mechanisms, and more specifically, the utility model relates to a station conversion mechanism for a continuous production line of large workpieces. Background Art

[0002] With the production requirements of various industries, the volume of workpieces in design is getting larger and longer, and the transfer operation between production processes is relatively cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient. At present, there are two ways to convert the stations of large workpieces. One is mainly manual operation, using lifting equipment and slings for hoisting, and transferring back and forth between each process station. During the movement process, there will be shaking, and there are risks such as bumping and falling. When necessary, special personnel must support, which has an impact on the personal safety of operators. When the workpiece arrives, it is easy to cause impact vibration, damaging the workpiece and equipment. The other is a parallelogram crank and connecting rod mechanism driven by a common motor, with only one driving crank. The driven crank is parallel to the driving crank and is not easy to adjust. As the station is converted, the center of mass of the workpiece constantly changes, and it may be converted into an anti-crank and connecting rod structure, causing the workpiece to fall. Moreover, when the workpiece arrives, the braking motor brakes, forcing the workpiece to stop moving, with a large impact vibration, inaccurate positioning, and high control requirements for motor deceleration. This station conversion method cannot achieve the complete smoothness during the operation of the workpiece, resulting in waste of working hours and reduced production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, an embodiment of the utility model provides a station conversion mechanism for a continuous production line of large workpieces to solve the problem that the existing main workpiece station conversion methods have certain defects, resulting in waste of working hours and reduced production efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A station conversion mechanism for a continuous production line of large workpieces, comprising a servo motor, a reducer, a worm and worm gear reduction box, an adjustable coupling, a positioning pin, a driving crank, a rotating shaft assembly, a connecting rod frame, a workpiece bracket, an adjustment block assembly, a crank in-place detection switch, a base, and an industrial felt gasket.

[0005] Among them, a worm and worm gear reduction box is installed on each side of the base. One of the worm and worm gear reduction boxes installs a servo motor and a reducer. The two worm and worm gear reduction boxes are connected by an adjustable coupling in the middle. The worm output shafts of the two worm and worm gear reduction boxes are respectively installed and connected to the input end of the driving crank. The output end of the driving crank is connected and fixed to the connecting rod frame through the rotating shaft assembly. Two workpiece brackets are installed on the connecting rod frame. Industrial felt gaskets are laid on both of the two workpiece brackets. The crank in-place detection switch is installed on the left and right sides of the worm and worm gear reduction box body. An adjustment block assembly is installed on each side of the base.

[0006] Among them, the two worm and worm gear speed reducers are connected by an adjustable coupling.

[0007] Among them, the positioning pins are arranged on the surface of the adjustable coupling.
