[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0025] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, an automatic flipping tool for double-sided operation includes a mounting base 1, a fixed plate 2, a cover plate 3, a flip base plate 4, a clamping cylinder 5, a reciprocating mechanism 6, and a flip driving assembly 7. The two ends of the flip base plate 4 are arranged on the mounting base 1 through a support seat 8, one end of the flip base plate 4 is connected to the flip driving assembly 7, the two clamping cylinders 5 are arranged on one side of the flip base plate 4, the fixed plate 2 is arranged on the piston rod ends of the two clamping cylinders 5, the reciprocating mechanism 6 is arranged on the other side of the flip base plate 4, and the cover plate 3 is further arranged on the reciprocating mechanism 6. A positioning fixture or cavity for placing a workpiece is provided on the fixed plate 2, and a positioning and clamping fixture or cavity is provided on the cover plate 3. The reciprocating mechanism 6 pushes the cover plate 3 to move for positioning the workpiece placed on the fixed plate 2 during assembly.

[0026] The flip drive assembly 7 includes a coupling 71, a servo motor 72, and a motor mounting seat 73. A rotating shaft seat 41 is provided at both ends of the flip base 4. A rotating support shaft 43 is provided in the rotating shaft seat 41. The rotating support shaft 43 is then rotatably supported in the support seat 8, and one of the rotating support shafts 43 is connected to the coupling 71. The coupling 71 is connected to the rotating support shaft 43 and passes through the rotating shaft seat 41 to movably connect to the flip base 4. The servo motor 72 drives the coupling 71 and the rotating support shaft 43 to rotate, thereby driving the flip base 4 to flip. During assembly or testing operations, the flip base 4 is locked by the motor and will not flip at will. A solenoid valve 42 is provided on the flip base 4, which controls the connection to the clamping cylinder 5. The two clamping cylinders 5 drive the fixed plate 2 to move away from or close to the flip base plate 4 to achieve up and down movement, clamping the workpiece placed on the fixed plate 2 and the cover plate 3. An avoidance groove 44 is provided in the flip base plate 4. The avoidance groove 44 is used to make the fixed plate 2 and the cover plate 3 visible to each other, thereby facilitating assembly or inspection operations.

[0027] The reciprocating mechanism 6 includes two linear guides 62 and a push cylinder 63. Positioning blocks 64 and positioning buffers 65 are provided on both ends of the reciprocating mechanism 6. Guided by the linear guides 62, the push cylinder 63 drives the cover plate 3 to the position of the workpiece placed on the fixed plate 2. The positioning blocks 64 and positioning buffers 65 are used to accurately position the cover plate 3 so that it can be correctly moved to its corresponding position. The fixed plate 2 and the cover plate 3 are provided with operating holes 21 to facilitate assembly or inspection operations through the operating holes 21.

[0028] The operation process of this utility model:

[0029] In the initial state, the cover plate 3 is on the reciprocating mechanism 6 away from one end of the fixed workpiece installed on the fixed plate 2, and the product workpiece is manually placed on the fixed plate 2. After the loading is completed, the reciprocating mechanism 6 is started to move the cover plate 3 to the workpiece position.

[0030] After the cover plate 3 moves to the workpiece position, the pressing cylinder 5 pushes the fixed plate 2 toward the cover plate 3, thereby pressing the workpiece. Assembly or testing operations such as screw tightening can then be performed on that side. After the assembly or testing operations on that side are completed, the flip drive assembly 7 drives the flip base plate 4 and the fixed plate 2, cover plate 3, pressing cylinder 5, and workpiece on it to flip as a whole. After flipping, assembly or testing operations such as screw tightening can be performed on the other side. After both sides are completed, the flip drive assembly 7 drives the flip base plate 4 back to its original position. The pressing cylinder 5 pushes the fixed plate 2 away from the cover plate 3. The reciprocating mechanism 6 then drives the cover plate 3 to move laterally away from the fixed plate 2, facilitating the removal of the workpiece on the fixed plate 2.

[0031] Operation holes 21 are provided on the fixing plate 2 and the cover plate 3 , so that the workpiece can be locked through the operation holes 21 on both sides, thereby facilitating assembly or testing operations.

[0032] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
