[0020] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by orientation words such as "upper, lower" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Without contrary description, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so it should not be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model; the orientation words "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0021] As Figures 1-5 shown, a turnover tooling for processing an automotive battery tray includes a frame. The frame is rectangular. Fixed frames 1 are fixedly installed at both ends of the frame. The fixed frames are rotationally connected to a support frame 2 through a rotating shaft. One of the rotating shafts passes through the support frame and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a rotating motor 3. The rotating motor is fixedly installed on the fixed frame. Support feet 4 are fixed at the lower end of the support frame;
[0022] Clamping assemblies, positioning assemblies and guiding assemblies are installed around the support frame. Lifting assemblies are installed at the corner positions of the support frame.
[0023] In this way, the rotating motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and then drives the frame to rotate through the fixed frame, realizing the turnover of the frame, and further realizing the turnover of the battery tray. When clamping the battery tray, use a robotic arm to clamp the battery tray and place it on the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly descends, driving the battery tray to move into the frame. Clamp it through the clamping assembly, guide the battery tray through the guiding assembly, and position the battery tray through the positioning assembly. Then welding operations can be carried out. After welding one side of the battery tray, drive the frame to turnover through the rotating motor, and then weld the other side of the battery tray. After all welding is completed, the clamping assembly and the positioning assembly are reset, the lifting assembly drives the battery tray to move upward, and then use the robotic arm to remove the welded battery tray.
[0024] During implementation, the frame includes four side frames 5 and four corner columns 6. The side frames are "C" shaped steel, and the corner columns are "square" shaped steel. Adjacent side frames are vertically arranged and welded to the corner columns. It is convenient for manufacturing.
[0025] During implementation, the clamping assembly includes a bracket 7 fixedly installed inside the frame. The bracket is an I-beam. On both sides of the bracket, a number of upper lever cylinders 8 and a number of lower lever cylinders 9 are fixedly installed respectively. The upper lever cylinders and the lower lever cylinders are arranged opposite to each other. The upper pressing plate 11 of the upper lever cylinder can rotate around the piston rod of the upper lever cylinder. The lower pressing plate 12 of the lower lever cylinder can rotate around the piston rod of the lower lever cylinder. The upper pressing plate of the upper lever cylinder and the lower pressing plate of the lower lever cylinder are arranged back to back. The frame is provided with a relief opening opposite to the upper pressing plate and the lower pressing plate.
[0026] In this way, through the arrangement of the upper lever cylinder and the lower lever cylinder, during use, the lower lever cylinder drives the lower pressing plate to rotate. The battery tray descends under the drive of the lifting assembly and the guidance of the guiding assembly until it abuts against the lower pressing plate. The lower pressing plate supports the battery tray. Then, the positioning assembly positions the battery tray. After positioning is completed, the upper lever cylinder drives the upper pressing plate to rotate and presses down on the battery tray located on the lower pressing plate. Then, welding and flipping operations can be carried out. During the welding process, if interference occurs, the upper lever cylinder or the lower lever cylinder at the corresponding position can be set to act alone for relieving the position, which is controlled by a PLC program and belongs to the prior art.
[0027] During implementation, the positioning assembly includes a number of positioning cylinders 13 fixedly installed outside the frame. The piston rod of the positioning cylinder passes through the frame and the bracket and is fixedly connected to a positioning block 14. The positioning cylinder drives the positioning block to move to position the battery tray.
[0028] During implementation, the guiding assembly includes a number of guiding seats 5. The frame and the bracket are provided with installation grooves opposite to the guiding seats. The guiding seats are fixedly connected to the bracket. A number of wheel frames are installed on the guiding seats. Guide wheels 16 are rotatably installed on the wheel frames. The battery tray is guided by the guide wheels to facilitate the battery tray to quickly enter the frame.
[0029] During implementation, the lifting assembly includes a tray 21, a screw 22, a guide rod 23, and a lifting motor 24. The screw and the guide rod are respectively installed at the opposite ends of adjacent two frames through bearings. Nut blocks and linear bearings are installed on the tray. The nut blocks are threadedly connected to the screw. The linear bearings cooperate with the guide rod. One end of the screw passes through the frame and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor. The lifting motor is fixedly installed on the frame. The lifting motor drives the screw to rotate, drives the tray to move through the nut blocks, and the guide rod guides the movement of the tray.
[0030] Specifically, it further includes a PLC controller for controlling the actions of the rotating motor, the lifting motor, the upper lever cylinder, the lower lever cylinder, and the positioning cylinder.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. In this way, provided that these modifications and variations of the present utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and their equivalents, the present utility model is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
