Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese patent application with the application date of December 23, 2023, application number 202323522784.8, and invention name “Transmission Flip Clamp”. Technical Field

[0002] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and in particular relates to a pallet for turning over a transmission. Background Art

[0003] With the continuous development of intelligent manufacturing and robotics, robotic grippers are constantly being upgraded and improved, and are being applied to various work scenarios. One type of gripper, typically operated using a clamp, consists of a base connected to the robot's arm and two clamping plates that hold the component. These grippers are suitable for operations such as grasping, flipping, and placing mechanical parts.

[0004] During the production of automotive parts, many heavy or large parts need to be transferred from one work area to another. Robotic fixtures can be used to move these parts, replacing manual handling, reducing labor costs, and improving handling efficiency and safety.

[0005] Due to the complex structure of automotive transmission housings, the robotic flipping fixture required to grasp, flip, and place the transmission on a production line pallet requires highly precise positioning and grasping capabilities, enabling rapid and accurate component handling to improve production line efficiency. However, existing transmission fixtures on the market lack the ability to precisely grasp, flexibly flip, or stably place the transmission. Furthermore, the pallets used do not stably position or support the transmission.

[0006] Currently, no effective solution to the above problems has been found. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to address the above deficiencies and propose a transmission flipping tray that can firmly grasp, flip and place.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is a transmission flip tray, which includes a first tray and a second tray;

[0009] A first support block is provided on the left side of the first tray; a second positioning column is provided on the right side of the first tray; a first positioning column is provided on the upper side of the first tray; and a second support block is provided between the first positioning column and the second positioning column.

[0010] Furthermore, a third positioning column is provided at one end of the second tray; and a third supporting block is provided at the other end of the second tray.

[0011] The utility model adopts the above technical solution and has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] 1. The transmission flipping fixture is equipped with positioning pins on the clamping plate, which enables the fixture to accurately grasp the transmission and is stable and firm during the flipping process.

[0013] 2. The support column and support block of the pallet can effectively support the transmission, making it more firmly and reliably placed; the support block is made of polyurethane material, which can effectively prevent bumps during the contact process of the workpiece.

[0014] 3. The transmission flip fixture and tray can improve work efficiency and reliability when grabbing, flipping and placing the transmission. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the following does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Examples, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the transmission flip fixture includes a base 4 connected to the robot arm, and a first clamping plate 1 and a second clamping plate 2 are provided on the base 4.

[0025] A cylinder 3 is provided between the first plywood 1 and the second plywood 2; the first plywood 1 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 3; the second plywood 2 is fixedly connected to the cylinder barrel of the cylinder 3; the first plywood 1 is slidably connected to the base 4; the second plywood 2 is fixedly connected to the base 4.

[0026] A first long positioning pin 11 and a first short positioning pin 12 are provided on the inner side of the upper end of the first clamping plate 1 ; a second long positioning pin 21 and a second short positioning pin 22 are provided on the inner side of the upper end of the second clamping plate 2 .

[0027] The first long positioning pin 11 and the second long positioning pin 21 are positioned correspondingly; the first short positioning pin 12 and the second short positioning pin 22 are positioned correspondingly.

[0028] The base 4 is fixed with a parallel first guide rail 44 and a second guide rail 43 ; the first clamping plate 1 is arranged on the first guide rail 44 and the second guide rail 43 .

[0029] A first slider 45 and a second slider 46 are fixed to the bottom of the first clamping plate 1 ; the first slider 45 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 44 ; the second slider 46 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 43 .

[0030] The base 4 is provided with a first long groove 42 and a second long groove 42 ; the first guide rail 44 is fixed in the first long groove 42 ; and the second guide rail 43 is fixed in the second long groove 42 .

[0031] The outer side of the second long groove 42 is connected to two short grooves 47; a wedge block 48 is provided in the short groove 47; a trapezoidal movable pin 49 is provided between the wedge block 48 and the second guide rail 43;

[0032] The wedging block 48 and the movable pin 49 are used in conjunction with the screws to wedge the second guide rail 43 so that the second guide rail 43 will not shift during use, thereby ensuring the parallelism of the first guide rail 44 and the second guide rail 43, and at the same time ensuring that the first slider 45 runs along the first guide rail 44 and the second slider 46 runs along the second guide rail 43.

[0033] The transmission reversing tray includes a first tray 5 and a second tray 6 .

[0034] A first support block 53 is provided on the left side of the first tray 5 ; a second positioning column 52 is provided on the right side of the first tray 5 ; a first positioning column 51 is provided on the upper side of the first tray 5 ; a second support block 54 is provided between the first positioning column 51 and the second positioning column 52 .

[0035] A third positioning post 61 is provided at one end of the second tray 6 ; a third supporting block 62 is provided at the other end of the second tray 6 .

[0036] According to the embodiments of the present invention, due to the irregular shape of the transmission housing, the positioning pins on the first and second clamping plates are positioned to align with the positioning pin holes in the transmission housing, allowing the positioning pins to extend into the corresponding positioning pin holes in the transmission housing. The cylinder piston rod retracts and contracts, driving the first clamping plate to slide along the guide rails of the base, reducing the distance between the first and second clamping plates and thereby clamping the transmission. This ensures a secure and precise grip on the transmission, preventing it from falling during a rollover.

[0037] The two first positioning posts on the first pallet of the transmission, the two second positioning posts and the two third positioning posts on the second pallet can be respectively inserted into the positioning holes at different angles of the transmission. The second support block on the first pallet and the third support block on the second pallet are made of polyurethane material, which not only plays a supporting role when placing the transmission, but also can effectively prevent the workpiece from being bumped.

[0038] The above description is merely an example of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Any details not described in detail are common knowledge within the art. The scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the claims. Any equivalent modifications based on the technical teachings of the present invention are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
