Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shock absorber manufacturing, in particular to an outer cylinder size head identification and flipping device. Background Art

[0002] The outer tubes of some existing shock absorbers have a characteristic reducer / reducer head, with one end having a larger inner diameter and the other smaller. The shock absorber manufacturing process requires directional requirements for the reducer / reducer head, necessitating stable identification and flipping of the reducer / reducer head. Manual identification carries a high risk of errors due to fatigue, resulting in equipment damage and product failure. The distinguishing features of the reducer / reducer heads are not very distinct, making manual identification difficult at one end. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The utility model overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art and provides an outer cylinder size identification device. The detection cylinder pushes a pin to detect the outer cylinder of the shock absorber. The pin can also detect the front and back of the outer cylinder through a magnetic switch. If the outer cylinder is facing the wrong way, it can be turned back.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a device for identifying and flipping the large and small heads of an outer cylinder is designed, including a base plate, an identification mechanism, a transplanting mechanism and a flipping mechanism. A frame one and a frame two are respectively provided at the front and back above the base plate. The identification mechanism includes a clamping cylinder, which is installed on frame one. The two clamping arms of the clamping cylinder are respectively connected to the detection cylinder. A through pin is provided at the front end of the detection cylinder. The diameter of the through pin is larger than the inner diameter of the small end of the outer cylinder and smaller than the inner diameter of the large end of the outer cylinder. The detection cylinder is provided with a magnetic switch. The transplanting mechanism includes a moving plate, and the lower part of the moving plate is slidably connected to the base plate through a guide rail slider mechanism. A linear cylinder is installed on one side of the base plate, and the piston rod of the linear cylinder is connected to the moving plate. At least one pneumatic clamp is provided above the moving plate. The flipping mechanism includes a lifting cylinder and a rotary clamping cylinder. The lifting cylinder is installed on frame two, and the rotary clamping cylinder is installed on the lifting cylinder.

[0005] There are two pneumatic grippers, namely pneumatic gripper 1 and pneumatic gripper 2. Pneumatic gripper 1 is arranged on the front side of the movable plate, and pneumatic gripper 2 is arranged on the rear side of the movable plate. The distance between pneumatic gripper 1 and pneumatic gripper 2 is equal to the distance between the line connecting the centers of the two detection cylinders and the rotating gripper cylinder.

[0006] The pneumatic gripper is a 180° opening and closing pneumatic finger.

[0007] An auxiliary pneumatic clamp is provided above the base plate on one side of the position where the rotary clamp cylinder clamps the outer cylinder. The auxiliary pneumatic clamp is a 180° opening and closing pneumatic finger.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model drives the detection cylinder by the clamping cylinder, and uses the detection cylinder to push the pin to detect the outer cylinder. The magnetic switch detects whether the pin passes through the outer cylinder, thereby judging the front and back of the outer cylinder reducer and reducer, and then uses the rotating clamping cylinder to flip the outer cylinder according to the judgment result, which can effectively avoid the risk of manual identification and stably realize the identification and flipping of the reducer and reducer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the outer cylinder size head identification and flipping device includes a base plate 1, an identification mechanism, a transplanting mechanism and a flipping mechanism. A frame 1 2 and a frame 2 3 are respectively provided on the front and back above the base plate 1. The identification mechanism includes a clamping cylinder 4, which is installed on the frame 1 2. The two clamping arms of the clamping cylinder 4 are respectively connected to the detection cylinder 5. The front end of the detection cylinder 5 is provided with a through pin 6. The diameter of the through pin 6 is larger than the inner diameter of the small end of the outer cylinder 15 and smaller than the inner diameter of the large end of the outer cylinder 15. The detection cylinder 5 is provided with a magnetic switch 7. The transplanting mechanism includes a moving plate 8. The lower part of the moving plate 8 is slidably connected to the base plate 1 through a guide rail slider mechanism 9. A linear cylinder 10 is installed on one side of the base plate 1. The piston rod of the linear cylinder 10 is connected to the moving plate 8. At least one pneumatic clamp 11 is provided above the moving plate 8. The flipping mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 12 and a rotary clamping cylinder 13. The lifting cylinder 12 is installed on the frame 2 3, and the rotary clamping cylinder 13 is installed on the lifting cylinder 12. The pneumatic clamp 11 grabs the outer cylinder 15, and then the clamping cylinder 4 moves the detection cylinder 5 to the two ends of the outer cylinder 15. The through pin 6 of the detection cylinder 5 extends out to detect the large and small ends of the outer cylinder. The through pin 6 sends a signal through the inner hole magnetic switch 7, indicating that this end is the large end. The through pin 6 is stuck in the magnetic switch and does not send a signal, indicating that this end is the small end. Then the linear cylinder 10 drives the moving plate 8 along the guide rail slider mechanism 9 to move the pneumatic clamp 11 to the bottom of the rotary clamp cylinder 13. If the outer cylinder 15 is placed upside down, the lifting cylinder 12 drives the rotary clamp cylinder 13 to descend and clamp the outer cylinder 15. The pneumatic clamp 11 opens, and the rotary clamp cylinder 13 rotates to flip the outer cylinder 15.

[0015] There are two pneumatic grippers 11, namely pneumatic gripper 1 11-1 and pneumatic gripper 2 11-2. Pneumatic gripper 1 11-1 is arranged on the front side of the movable plate 8, and pneumatic gripper 2 11-2 is arranged on the rear side of the movable plate 8. The distance between pneumatic gripper 1 11-1 and pneumatic gripper 2 11-2 is equal to the distance between the line connecting the centers of the two detection cylinders 5 and the rotating gripper cylinder 13.

[0016] The pneumatic gripper 11 is a 180° opening and closing type pneumatic finger.

[0017] An auxiliary clamping cylinder 14 is provided above the base plate 1 on one side of the position where the rotary clamping cylinder 13 clamps the outer cylinder 15. The auxiliary clamping cylinder 14 is a 180° opening and closing pneumatic finger.

[0018] When the utility model is used, the outer cylinder 15 can be placed on the pneumatic clamping claw 11-1 and clamped by a manipulator, and then the clamping cylinder 4 is clamped to place the detection cylinder 5 against the two ends of the outer cylinder 15. The through pin 6 of the detection cylinder 5 extends to the inner holes at both ends of the outer cylinder 15. When the through pin 6 is extended into the large end, the magnetic switch 7 of the detection cylinder 5 can send an in-position signal. When the through pin 6 is extended into the small end, it will be stuck and cannot send an in-position signal, so that the positive and negative ends of the large and small ends of the outer cylinder 15 can be judged. Then, the pin 6 and the detection cylinder 5 are withdrawn and reset. The linear cylinder 10 drives the movable plate 8 along the guide rail slider mechanism 9 to move the pneumatic gripper 11-1 to the bottom of the rotary gripper cylinder 13. At this time, the auxiliary gripper cylinder 14 opens 180 degrees to prevent interference with the workpiece. If the outer cylinder 15 is not reversed, the lifting cylinder 12 drives the rotary gripper cylinder 13 to descend and clamp the outer cylinder 15. The pneumatic gripper 11-1 is released, and the rotary gripper cylinder 13 clamps the outer cylinder 15 and rotates it. If the outer cylinder 15 is not reversed, the auxiliary pneumatic gripper 14 clamps the outer cylinder 15, and the pneumatic gripper 11-1 is released. The linear cylinder 10 then drives the movable plate 8 to move the pneumatic gripper 11-1 to the bottom of the detection cylinder 5 to prepare to receive a new workpiece. The pneumatic gripper 2 11-2 moves to the bottom of the rotary gripper cylinder 13 to grab the previous workpiece and move it to the next process.
