[0019] The cleaning machine surges in the cleaning station of a large engine cylinder production line. The process requires the cylinder to stop at multiple positions, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder is required to be placed on the pallet at three precise positions:

[0020] Position 0: Robot loading and unloading station;

[0021] Position 1: Automatic loading and unloading station for height compensation pads;

[0022] Position 2: Surge cleaning station.

[0023] Action cycle:

[0024] Feeding: Parts to be cleaned, position 0 (loading) → position 1 (compensation pad installation) → position 2 (surge cleaning);

[0025] Discharging: After cleaning, position 2 (surge cleaning) → position 1 (remove the compensation pad) → position 0 (unloading).

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the progressive conveying device 25 is placed under the cylinder pallet 26 and fixed on the machine tool body, driving the cylinder pallet 26 to perform three position conversions (0 position → 1 position → 2 position → 1 position → 0 position) to complete the cleaning process requirements.

[0027] The large cylinder progressive pallet conveying device of the utility model is as follows Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, it includes two horizontal fixing seats 7 and two fixing plates 3 installed on the machine tool body. The two fixing plates 3 are located at one end of the fixing seats 7. A transmission shaft 4 is installed between the two fixing plates 3. One end of the transmission shaft 4 is connected to the reducer 1 through a transmission sprocket 9 and a transmission chain 2. The reducer 1 is connected to the motor 33. A conveying sprocket 32 ​​is installed on the transmission shaft 4. The inner side of the other end of the fixing seat 7 is installed with a conveying sprocket 32 ​​through a conveying chain tensioning seat 16. A conveying chain 5 is installed between the two conveying sprockets 32; linear guide rails 13 are installed on the upper parts of the two fixing seats 7 respectively. The slide 10 is mounted on the two slides 10 by means of a slider. The lower side of the slide 10 is connected to the conveyor chain 5. The conveyor chain 5 is driven by the motor 33 to move the slide 10. The fork 12 and the swing fork cylinder 11 are mounted on the slide 10. The fork cylinder 11 is connected to the rear end of the fork 12. The swing fork 12 is driven by the cylinder 11 to insert and disengage the fork from the notch of the fork positioning block 266 on the cylinder pallet 26. A pallet roller 31 for placing the cylinder pallet 26 is mounted on the fixed seat 7 above the linear guide rail 13. Two sets of latch cylinders 30 are symmetrically mounted on the two fixed seats 7 corresponding to the rest positions of the cylinder pallets 26. The latch cylinders 30 are mounted on the fixed seat 7 through the latch cylinder fixing plate 28. The latch cylinders 30 are connected to the latch 29. Mounted on the outside of the fixed base 7 are the 0-position in-place switch 17, the 0-position reverse deceleration switch 18, the 1-position feed deceleration switch 19, the 1-position in-place switch 20, the 1-position reverse deceleration switch 21, the 2-position feed deceleration switch 22, and the 2-position in-place switch 23. These switches decelerate or stop the slide 10. A 0-position dead stop 6 is located at one end of the inside of the fixed base 7, and a 2-position dead stop 14 is located at the other end. Both the 0-position dead stop 6 and the 2-position dead stop 14 are secured to the machine tool body. A protective cover 15 is mounted above the linear guide 12 on the fixed base 7. The reducer drives the shift fork 12 through the transmission chain 2, the drive shaft 4, the conveyor chain 5, and the slide 10, driving the cylinder pallet 26 forward or backward.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a pair of pallet positioning blocks 262 are mounted on both ends of the upper side of the tray body 261 of the cylinder tray 26. The pallet positioning blocks 262 are provided with holes that match the latch pins 29. A cylinder support pad 264 and a cylinder positioning pin 263 corresponding to the cylinder hole are mounted on the upper side of the tray body 261. Pads 265 are mounted on both ends of the lower side of the tray body 261. A shift fork positioning block 266 is mounted in the middle of the lower side of the tray body 261. The shift fork positioning block 266 has a notch that matches the shift fork. The shift fork 12 is driven by the shift fork cylinder 11 to insert and disengage from the notch of the shift fork positioning block 266 on the cylinder tray 26.

[0029] The cylinder support 26 is placed on the pallet roller 31 and driven by the progressive conveyor to perform three position conversions. Pallet latch positioning mechanisms are installed at position 0 (loading and unloading station) and position 1 (height compensation pad loading and unloading station) to ensure positioning accuracy.
