Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of piston caliper assembly, in particular to an automatic turning device for a fixed caliper. Background Art

[0002] The brake caliper is a critical component in a vehicle's braking system. Its primary function is to slow or stop the vehicle by controlling the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc. A piston caliper, a new type of brake caliper, connects the brake pads to the piston on the caliper. When the driver brakes, a brake pump pumps oil into the caliper, pushing the piston out. This causes the brake pads to follow the pistons, clamping the brake disc and achieving the desired braking effect. During the assembly of the piston caliper, a dedicated press-fitting machine is used to press the piston into the caliper housing. Since pistons need to be installed on both the upper and lower sides of the housing, the housing must first be positioned and fixed to press the piston into one side of the housing. The housing then needs to be released and flipped over. Finally, the housing must be positioned and fixed again, and the piston pressed into the other side. This cumbersome flipping process affects piston press-fitting efficiency. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the automatic flipping device provided by an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the automatic flipping device provided by an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 The figure is a partial three-dimensional structural diagram of the automatic flipping device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The fixed caliper automatic flipping device 1 of the present invention is used to flip the housing 2 of the piston caliper. The housing 2 is provided with a positioning hole 21, into which a positioning pin can be inserted. The automatic flipping device 1 includes a frame 11, a flipping assembly 12, a support base 13, and a supporting tool 14.

[0025] The flip assembly 12 includes a flip disc 121, a fixed disc 122, and a flip driver 123. The fixed disc 122 is fixed to the frame 11. The flip disc 121 is concentrically disposed on the fixed disc 122 and is rotatably connected to the fixed disc 122. The flip driver 123 is fixed to the fixed disc 122 and is connected to the flip disc 121 to drive the flip disc 121 to rotate.

[0026] The supporting base plate 13 is fixed on the flip plate 121, and the supporting tooling 14 includes a supporting base plate 141 and a supporting vertical plate 142 that are perpendicular to each other. The supporting base plate 141 is slidably connected to the supporting base plate 13 to support the shell 2. A positioning plate 15 opposite to the supporting vertical plate 142 is fixed on the flip plate 121, and both the positioning plate 15 and the supporting vertical plate 142 are provided with positioning sleeves that are aligned with the positioning pins.

[0027] By rotating the flip disk 121 and connecting it to the fixed disk 122, and driving the flip disk 121 to rotate through the flip driving member 123, the supporting base plate 13 can be synchronously flipped under the flipping of the flip disk 121. By slidingly connecting the supporting tooling 14 to the supporting base plate 13, when performing the piston pressing operation, the operator can first pull the supporting tooling 14 out of the supporting base plate 13 to facilitate placing the shell 2 on the supporting tooling 14, and after placement, push the supporting tooling 14 toward the supporting base plate 13, so that the supporting tooling 14 drives the shell 2 to move to the first position, wherein the first position is the piston pressing operation position, so that the piston pressing equipment can press the piston into the piston hole of the shell 2.

[0028] By arranging positioning sleeves on both the positioning plate 15 and the supporting vertical plate 142, after the supporting tooling 14 is pushed to the first position, the positioning pin on the shell 2 can be inserted into the positioning sleeves on the positioning plate 15 and the supporting vertical plate 142, so as to achieve positioning and fixing of the shell 2 under the clamping of the positioning plate 15 and the supporting vertical plate 142, so that the piston pressing device can press the piston into the piston hole of the shell 2.

[0029] After the piston pressing device presses the pistons into the piston holes on one side of the shell 2, the flip drive 123 drives the flip disk 121 to flip, so that the shell 2 flips 180 degrees, so that the piston pressing device can perform the piston pressing operation on the piston holes on the other side of the shell 2, thereby realizing the automated pressing operation of the piston. After completing the piston pressing operation on one side of the shell 2, the shell 2 can be automatically flipped under the action of the automatic flipping device 1, without the need to remove the shell 2 from the supporting tooling 14 and then manually flip it, thereby improving the efficiency of the flipping of the shell 2.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the flipping drive member 123 includes a driving motor and a reduction gear. The driving motor is fixed on the fixed disk 122 and connected to the reduction gear. A gear ring meshing with the reduction gear is provided on the outer circumference of the flipping disk 121. When the driving motor is working, it drives the reduction gear to rotate. The flipping disk 121 rotates under the meshing of the gear ring and the reduction gear, and then the shell 2 can be driven to rotate synchronously under the rotation of the flipping disk 121, so that the piston pressing equipment can press the piston into the piston holes on both sides of the shell 2 in turn. The flipping operation of the shell 2 does not require manual operation, thereby improving the flipping efficiency of the shell 2 and thus improving the piston pressing efficiency.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic flipping device 1 also includes a fixing component 16, which includes a fixed driving component 161 and a fixing rod. The fixed driving component 161 is fixed on the fixed disk 122 and connected to the fixing rod. A protruding positioning baffle 1211 is provided on the flipping disk 121, and a socket for inserting the fixing rod is provided on the positioning baffle 1211. Therefore, after the flipping disk 121 rotates 180 degrees, the position of the positioning baffle 1211 corresponds to the position of the fixing rod, and then the fixed driving component 161 drives the fixing rod to extend so that the fixing rod is inserted into the socket, thereby fixing the flipping angle of the flipping disk 121 and keeping the flipping disk 121 at the current angle, which facilitates the piston pressing operation of the piston pressing device on the shell 2.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the fixed driving member 161 includes any one of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder, and the fixed rod is sleeved on the piston rod of the fixed driving member 161 to drive the fixed rod to extend and retract when the fixed driving member 161 is working.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present utility model, two groups of fixing components 16 are provided, and the two groups of fixing components 16 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the fixed disk 122, and two positioning baffles 1211 are provided, and the two positioning baffles 1211 are respectively fixed on the upper and lower sides of the flip disk 121, so as to fix the upper and lower sides of the flip disk 121 under the action of the two groups of fixing components 16, thereby improving the fixing effect of the flip angle of the flip disk 121, and avoiding accidental rotation of the flip disk 121, which causes the pressing equipment to be unable to perform the piston pressing operation on the shell 2.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the fixing assembly 16 also includes a buffer block 162 fixed on the fixed disk 122. The buffer block 162 is located on one side of the fixed rod. After the flip disk 121 rotates 180°, the positioning baffle 1211 can be abutted against the buffer block 162, so that the flip disk 121 can be accurately flipped 180° to achieve automated and precise flipping of the shell 2, making it convenient for the pressing equipment to perform piston pressing operations on the piston hole on the other side of the shell 2.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic flipping device 1 also includes a barcode scanner 17, which is fixed to the top of the frame 11 and performs barcode scanning in the direction of the supporting base plate 141 to scan the barcode on the shell 2, so as to facilitate the subsequent tracing of the pressing data of the piston pressing operation.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic flipping device 1 also includes a detection component 18, which includes a laser emitter and a laser receiver fixed on both sides of the frame 11 to detect the position of the carrying tooling 14 on the supporting base plate 13, so that the flipping drive 123 controls the flipping disk 121 to flip according to the position of the carrying tooling 14. For example, when the carrying tooling 14 is pulled out from the supporting base plate 13 for loading and unloading operations of the shell 2, the flipping drive 123 cannot drive the flipping disk 121 to flip, but when the carrying tooling 14 slides to the first position, the flipping drive 123 can drive the flipping disk 121 to flip, thereby improving the operating safety of the automatic flipping device 1.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic flipping device 1 also includes a clamping assembly 19, which includes a clamping drive 191 and a limiting plate 192. The clamping drive 191 is fixed on the flipping disk 121 and connected to the limiting plate 192 to drive the limiting plate 192 to clamp the supporting vertical plate 142.

[0038] Specifically, the clamping drive member 191 includes a first drive member, a second drive member and a socket member. A connecting plate is fixed on the frame 11. The socket member and the first drive member are both fixed to the connecting plate along a first direction, and a socket shaft is provided on the socket member. The first connecting member and the second connecting member are fixed on the socket shaft. The first drive member is connected to the socket shaft through the first connecting member to drive the socket shaft to extend and retract. The second drive member is fixed to the connecting plate along a third direction. The second drive member is connected to the socket shaft through the second connecting member to drive the socket shaft to rotate. The limit plate 192 is fixed to the end of the socket shaft away from the first connecting member.

[0039] Before placing the shell 2 into the carrying tooling 14, the carrying tooling 14 is first slid out of the supporting base plate 13 to facilitate the operator to place the shell 2 on the carrying base plate 141, and then push the carrying base plate 141 to the first position so that the two ends of the positioning pin are respectively inserted into the positioning sleeves on the positioning plate 15 and the carrying vertical plate 142, and at the same time, the open end of the shell 2 is abutted against the positioning plate 15 to achieve the positioning of the shell 2. At this time, the second driving member drives the second connecting member to drive the sleeve shaft to rotate, so that the limit plate 192 rotates synchronously with the sleeve shaft, and rotates the limit plate 192 to the position of the carrying vertical plate 142, and then the first driving member drives the first connecting member to drive the sleeve shaft to extend, so that the sleeve shaft drives the limit plate 192 to fit and abut on the carrying vertical plate 142, thereby achieving the fixing effect on the carrying vertical plate 142, that is, achieving the clamping and fixing effect on the shell 2.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the clamping assembly 19 also includes a cable drag chain 193 and a drag chain bracket 194. One end of the cable drag chain 193 is connected to the clamping drive 191, and the other end is connected to the external industrial computer through the drag chain bracket 194. When the flip disk 121 flips, the clamping assembly 19 is driven to flip synchronously, and the displacement of the clamping assembly 19 is adapted under the connection of the cable drag chain 193 to prevent the cable drag chain 193 from being pulled and broken.

[0041] In the present invention, the signal connection between the first feature and the second feature can be a wireless connection such as a wireless network, Bluetooth, a local area network, etc., or a wired connection such as an electric wire, a network cable, a signal cable, etc., so that signals and communications can be transmitted between the first feature and the second feature.

[0042] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediary. Furthermore, when a first feature is "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. When a first feature is "below," "below," or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.
