[0035] In the automotive manufacturing and repair industry, the main reducer assembly, as a key component of the vehicle's transmission system, often requires angle adjustments or flipping during production and maintenance to facilitate assembly, inspection, and repair. For example, in welding processes, to ensure weld quality, or in repair processes, to ensure accurate fault diagnosis and effective repair work, the main reducer assembly needs to be precisely positioned and fixed, and able to flexibly switch between multiple angles to accurately handle different welding positions. Traditionally, these operations rely on manual handling or simple mechanical aids, which are not only time-consuming but also susceptible to fluctuations in operator skill levels, leading to inconsistent work efficiency. While some related technologies have introduced flipping equipment, the main reducer assembly is prone to impact damage during loading, causing further damage.

[0036] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the main reducer assembly flipping device proposed in this utility model includes a base 100, a first mounting base 200, a second mounting base 300, a drive assembly 210, a driven assembly 310, and a tooling assembly 400. The first mounting base 200 and the second mounting base 300 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the base 100. The drive assembly 210 is connected to the first mounting base 200, the driven assembly 310 is connected to the second mounting base 300, and the tooling assembly 400 connects the drive assembly 210 and the driven assembly 310, so that the drive assembly 210 can drive the tooling assembly 400 and the driven assembly 310 to move together. Specifically, the drive assembly 210 includes a drive motor 211 and a first tilting seat 212. The drive motor 211 drives the first tilting seat 212 to tilt. The driven assembly 310 includes a rotary bearing 311 and a second tilting seat 312. The second tilting seat 312 is arranged opposite to the first tilting seat 212 and rotates in cooperation with the rotary bearing 311. The tooling assembly 400 includes a tooling plate 410. Both sides of the tooling plate 410 are fixedly connected to the first tilting seat 212 and the second tilting seat 312, respectively. Further, the tooling assembly 400 also includes a buffer plate 420 and a fastening component 430. The buffer plate 420 is mounted on the tooling plate 410 and is suitable for placing the main reducer assembly 500. The fastening component 430 drives the main reducer assembly 500 to press and fix against the buffer plate 420. It should be noted that the first mounting base 200 and the second mounting base 300, which are fixedly installed at both ends of the base 100, provide a solid foundation for the entire device, ensuring stability under various operating conditions. The drive motor 211 and the first tilting base 212 enable automated tilting control, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing uncertainties caused by manual intervention. Secondly, the first tilting base 212 and the second tilting base 312 provide double-sided support for the tooling assembly 400, resulting in higher structural integrity and strength, ensuring the smoothness and consistency of the tilting action, and preventing damage to the main reducer assembly 500 due to sudden stops or starts. Furthermore, considering the requirements for impact protection, for example, the buffer plate 420 can be made of nylon material, effectively protecting the main reducer assembly 500 during placement and tilting. The design of the fastening component 430 ensures the main reducer assembly 500 is firmly fixed throughout the tilting process, preventing accidental damage caused by loosening, while also simplifying the fixing process and improving operational efficiency. The system achieves efficient, stable, and safe multi-angle flipping operation, making it particularly suitable for the high-precision requirements in welding and repair processes. It effectively prevents damage to the main reducer assembly 500 during operation, significantly improves the overall performance of maintenance and production processes, and provides the automotive manufacturing industry with a more advanced, reliable, and efficient solution.

[0037] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of this utility model, both the tooling plate 410 and the buffer plate 420 are hollow structures to allow part of the main reducer assembly 500 to extend into them. This not only optimizes space utilization and allows part of the main reducer assembly 500 to extend into them, making the installation and disassembly process more convenient, but also reduces material usage and manufacturing costs. On the one hand, the hollow structure helps to reduce the weight of the tooling plate 410 and the buffer plate 420, thereby improving operational flexibility and handling convenience. On the other hand, the recessed and fixed installation method of the main reducer assembly 500 can effectively lower the center of gravity of the main reducer assembly 500, making the center of gravity of the main reducer assembly 500 closer to the rotation axis of the first tilting seat 212 and the second tilting seat 312, thereby significantly reducing the rotational inertia parameter required by the selected drive motor 211, thus reducing the procurement cost of the drive motor 211. Furthermore, a reduction transmission structure is provided between the drive motor 211 and the first tilting seat 212, which effectively reduces the speed of the drive motor 211, increases the output torque, and ensures the smooth operation of the tilting action. In this regard, the application of the reduction gear transmission structure not only reduces the load on the drive motor 211 and extends its service life, but also improves operational safety and reliability. Furthermore, the reduction gear transmission structure can absorb and buffer the impact force during the tilting process, further protecting the main reducer assembly 500 from damage and improving the overall durability and performance of the device. For example, a reducer is connected to the output end of the drive motor 211, and the output end of the reducer is connected to the first tilting seat 212 via a gear transmission structure to further reduce the rotational speed of the first tilting seat 212.

[0038] In some embodiments, the buffer plate 420 is made of polyurethane, rubber, EVA, polyethylene foam, polypropylene, TPE, or silicone. In some embodiments of this invention, the buffer plate 420 is made of nylon. Nylon material has excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, effectively preventing the main reducer assembly 500 from being damaged by bumps during placement, protecting its surface quality and internal structural integrity. Furthermore, nylon material has a low coefficient of friction, making the main reducer assembly 500 slide more smoothly when in contact with the buffer plate 420, reducing unnecessary resistance and improving operating efficiency. In addition, the lightweight nature of nylon material helps reduce the overall weight of the device, facilitating handling and installation, while its good corrosion resistance extends the service life of the device and reduces maintenance costs.

[0039] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the fastening component 430 includes a fastening screw 431 and a fastening nut 432. When the buffer plate 420 is located on the upper side of the tooling plate 410 and is used for loading and placing the main reducer assembly 500, the fastening screw 431 passes through the tooling plate 410, the buffer plate 420, and the main reducer assembly 500 in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the fastening nut 432 to press and fix the main reducer assembly 500, ensuring that the main reducer assembly 500 is firmly fixed throughout the entire flipping process and avoiding accidental damage caused by loosening. It should be noted that the operation of the fastening component 430 is simple and quick; only tightening the fastening nut 432 is required to complete the fixation, and it does not cause damage to the main reducer assembly 500, greatly simplifying the fixing process and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the combination of the fastening screw 431 and the fastening nut 432 provides sufficient clamping force. Even if slight loosening occurs, the fastening nut 432 will not directly disengage from the fastening screw 431, ensuring the stability of the main reducer assembly 500 during the flipping process and maintaining good working condition even in complex and changing operating environments. Further, the tooling plate 410 is equipped with a locating pin 440, which passes through the buffer plate 420 and is used for inserting and positioning the main reducer assembly 500. This significantly improves the accuracy of the main reducer assembly 500's placement, ensuring its correct position and providing a reliable benchmark for subsequent operations. It is easy to understand that the presence of the locating pin 440 allows the main reducer assembly 500 to quickly find the correct insertion point during placement, reducing adjustment time and improving work efficiency. In addition, in some embodiments of this invention, the end of the locating pin 440 is provided with a guide surface 441 to guide the insertion of the main reducer assembly 500, making the insertion process smoother, reducing resistance during insertion, and lowering the difficulty of operation. Especially in the case of rapid assembly or frequent replacement of the main reducer assembly 500, the guide surface 441 can effectively guide the main reducer assembly 500 to accurately enter the predetermined position, avoiding damage caused by improper operation. Furthermore, the guide surface 441 can also play a certain protective role, preventing the locating pin 440 from being damaged during insertion, extending the service life of the locating pin 440, and also improving the overall reliability of the device.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first or second mounting base is equipped with an angle detection sensor to detect the flipping angle of the tooling assembly. This design provides real-time monitoring, allowing operators to monitor the flipping angle information at any time and ensure that the flipping action is executed precisely according to preset parameters. The application of the angle detection sensor not only improves the safety and accuracy of the flipping operation but also provides necessary feedback signals for the automated control system, realizing intelligent control of the flipping process. This helps improve production efficiency, reduce human error, and also provides technical support for complex multi-angle flipping operations, meeting the needs of high-precision machining and maintenance. For example, the angle detection sensor is an encoder installed inside the drive motor. (See also...) Figure 1 In some embodiments of this invention, an angle detection sensor 320 is disposed on a second mounting base 300, and a baffle 330 is fixedly connected to a second flip base 312. The baffle 330 is located on the detection side of the angle detection sensor 320 and can cooperate with the angle detection sensor 320 to detect the flip angle of the second flip base 312. Specifically, the baffle 330 is provided with a first blocking part 331 and a second blocking part 332, which are arranged at intervals around the rotation axis of the second flip base 312. The angle detection sensor 320 can detect the first blocking part 331 and the second blocking part 332 respectively to confirm the rotation angle of the second flip base 312. This design with multiple blocking parts significantly improves the resolution and accuracy of angle detection, making the measurement of the flip angle more detailed and accurate. Furthermore, the interval arrangement between different blocking parts allows the sensor to acquire data from multiple measurement points at different rotation stages, thereby constructing a complete flip angle change curve, providing a solid foundation for achieving precise flip control. Furthermore, the multi-shielding design enhances the system's resistance to environmental interference, ensuring stability and reliability under various operating conditions. Optionally, the baffle 330 has a cross-shaped structure with four shielding parts, each spaced 90° apart.
