Description

Technical Field

[0002] As the most crucial component of a car, the engine often requires rotation during assembly processes, such as the assembly of the oil pan. Common rotation methods include manual rotation, semi-automatic lifting device rotation, clamping rotation equipment, and squirrel-cage rotation machines. Manual rotation is too labor-intensive, semi-automatic lifting device rotation poses significant safety hazards, and clamping rotation equipment is cumbersome to install. Squirrel-cage rotation machines, with their simple structure and relatively low cost, are widely used.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream engine cylinder tilting equipment is the squirrel-cage tilting machine, such as the engine cylinder tilting device disclosed in CN204138316U, which includes a base, upper rail, lower rail, reduction motor, clamping mechanism, large gear ring, small gear, guide wheel device, and disc. The guide wheel device is fixed on the base, the disc is mounted on the guide wheel device, the upper and lower rails are both fixed on the disc, the reduction motor is fixed on the base via a bracket, the clamping mechanism is fixed on the upper rail, the large gear ring is fixed on the disc, and the small gear is fixed on the bracket and meshes with the large gear ring. However, in existing squirrel-cage tilting machines, after tilting the engine, components on both the upper and lower sides obstruct the engine, creating interference. The main installation positions of the engine components are located directly above the engine, which is unfavorable for their installation, resulting in low efficiency and failing to meet production needs.

One end of the mounting base is provided with a support frame, and a first positioning plate is rotatably mounted on the support frame. The other end of the mounting base is slidably provided with a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is provided with a drive mechanism for rotating the second positioning plate. The output shaft of the drive mechanism is connected to the second positioning plate. The first positioning plate is provided with a guide rail, and the second positioning plate is slidably connected to the guide rail. Both the first and second positioning plates are provided with first limiting pins corresponding to the pin holes at both ends of the engine cylinder. A second limiting pin is slidably mounted on the guide rail. The mounting base is provided with a lifting platform, and the lifting platform is located between the first and second positioning plates.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0018] See Figure 1-3 A control device for effectively flipping an engine includes a mounting base 1 and a second positioning plate 4. A support frame 2 is provided at one end of the mounting base 1, and a first positioning plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 2. A mounting frame 5 is slidably mounted at the other end of the mounting base 1. A drive mechanism for rotating the second positioning plate 4 is provided on the mounting frame 5, and the output shaft of the drive mechanism is connected to the second positioning plate 4. A guide rail 6 is provided on the first positioning plate 3, and the second positioning plate 4 is slidably connected to the guide rail 6. Both the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 are provided with first limiting pins 7 corresponding to the pin holes at both ends of the engine cylinder block. During clamping, the first limiting pins 7 on the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 are inserted into the corresponding holes at both ends of the engine cylinder block. A second limiting pin 10 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 6. A lifting platform 8 is provided on the mounting base 1, and the lifting platform 8 is located between the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4. A hydraulic cylinder is provided on the mounting base 1, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the mounting frame 5. During operation, the engine cylinder block is lifted by a lifting device. The engine block is moved between the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4, so that the second limiting pin 10 is inserted into the pin hole on the side of the engine block. Then, the first positioning pin 7 on the first positioning plate 3 is inserted into the corresponding pin hole at one end of the engine block. Then, the lifting platform 8 is raised. When the lifting platform 8 is raised to the set position, the engine block is placed on the lifting platform 8. Then, the second positioning plate 4 is driven by the hydraulic cylinder to move axially towards the first positioning plate 3. The first positioning pin 7 on the second positioning plate 4 is inserted into the corresponding pin hole at the other end of the engine block, thus completing the three-point positioning of the engine block. Then, the second positioning plate 4 continues to move axially to complete the clamping of the engine block. At this time, the lifting platform 8 is lowered and reset, and then the rotary motor 11 is driven to rotate to complete the flipping of the engine block, which facilitates the assembly of the engine block by the workers. This device can effectively avoid interference between the flipping machine and the engine installation part during the installation process, facilitate the installation of engine parts, and effectively improve work efficiency.

[0019] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a rotary motor 11, which is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 5. The output end of the rotary motor 11 is connected to the second positioning plate 4. When the second positioning plate 4 moves axially and clamps the engine cylinder block with the first positioning plate 3, the rotary motor 11 is started to achieve the flipping of the engine cylinder block.

[0020] In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 13, and the bottom of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a slider 14. The slider 14 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 13. Under the push of the hydraulic cylinder, the mounting bracket 5 slides axially on the mounting base 1, thereby realizing the forward and backward movement of the second positioning plate 4, and clamping the engine cylinder on the lifting platform 8 together with the first positioning plate 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, the second positioning plate 4 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 15, which is semi-circular, to avoid interference between the second positioning plate 4 and the components to be installed on the engine when the engine is clamped.

[0022] In this embodiment, anti-slip textures 9 are provided on the end faces of the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 that contact the engine, increasing the friction between the first positioning plate 3, the second positioning plate 4 and the clamped engine, thereby strengthening the firmness of the clamped engine cylinder during installation.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present utility model. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the present utility model or the practicality of the patent.
