[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a parts handling device for an assembly line, comprising a base plate, with transverse cylinders respectively installed at both ends of the base plate. A rotary cylinder is installed at the output end of one transverse cylinder, and a rotary motor is installed at the output end of the other transverse cylinder. Both the rotary cylinder and the rotary motor have gripper cylinders at their output ends, with grippers installed at their output ends. A lifting cylinder is installed above the base plate, with its output end connected to the base plate.

[0004] Furthermore, the lifting cylinder is installed via a vertically mounted mounting plate, and a lifting plate is provided at the output end of the lifting cylinder. The bottom of the lifting plate is connected to the base plate, and a guide rail is provided on the lifting plate. A slider is provided on the mounting plate and slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0005] Furthermore, the gripper includes two relatively movable clamping plates, and the clamping plates are provided with elastic pressure heads to prevent damage to the parts during the transfer process.

[0006] Furthermore, a stripping cylinder is also provided on the base plate, and a stripping plate is provided at the output end of the stripping cylinder. Multiple stripping pressure blocks are provided on the stripping plate to assist in unloading after the parts are transferred to the designated position.

[0007] Furthermore, the stripping plate is provided with multiple guide posts that can penetrate the base plate to guide the stripping plate to move up and down, thereby ensuring the smooth stripping process.

[0008] Furthermore, the parts handling device also includes a moving mechanism, which is used to drive the transverse cylinder and the base plate to move horizontally.

[0009] The advantage of this application is that the parts handling device provided for the assembly line clamps the parts and performs actions such as flipping, lifting and transferring, thereby automating the parts handling and saving labor. Attached Figure Description

[0020] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a parts handling device for an assembly line, including a base plate 10. Two sets of transverse cylinders 11 are respectively arranged at both ends of the base plate 10. A transverse plate 12 is arranged at the output end of the transverse cylinder 11. A rotary motor 13 is arranged on the transverse plate 12 on the left side of the figure, and a rotary cylinder 14 is arranged on the transverse plate on the right side. A gripper cylinder 16 is arranged at the output end of the rotary motor 13 and the rotary cylinder 14 through a rotary plate 15. A gripper is arranged at the output end of the gripper cylinder 16 for gripping parts.

[0021] The grippers for picking up parts use two sets of relatively movable clamping plates 17. Elastic pressure heads 18 are provided on the clamping plates 17 to prevent damage to the parts. Due to the different shapes of the parts, the elastic pressure heads on the left and right sides are set to different shapes.

[0022] A lifting cylinder 20 is installed above the base plate 10 via a mounting plate 19. A lifting plate 21 is installed at the output end of the lifting cylinder 20. A guide rail 211 is installed on the lifting plate 21. A slider is installed on the mounting plate 19. The guide rail 211 can move up and down within the slider, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the lifting plate. The bottom end of the lifting plate 21 is connected to the base plate 10, and the entire base plate is lifted by the lifting cylinder 20.

[0023] In addition, a stripping mechanism 22 is provided on the base plate 10. The stripping mechanism 22 includes a stripping cylinder 221. A stripping plate 222 is provided at the output end of the stripping cylinder 221. Multiple stripping pressure blocks 223 are provided on the stripping plate 222. Multiple guide columns 224 penetrating the base plate are also provided on the stripping plate for guiding the stripping plate to move up and down. Example

[0024] This embodiment provides a parts handling device for an assembly line, including a mounting bracket 23. One end of the mounting bracket 23 is used to mount the parts handling device in Embodiment 1. A moving mechanism is provided on the mounting bracket. The moving mechanism includes a drive motor 24 mounted on the top of the mounting bracket. The output end of the drive motor 24 is connected to the mounting plate 19 via a belt 25. The length of the belt extends approximately through the length direction of the mounting bracket to move parts from one end of the mounting bracket to the other end.

[0025] Working principle: The horizontal movement cylinder 11 drives the gripper to move towards the part position, and then the gripper cylinder 16 starts to drive the gripper to pick up the part. When the part needs to be flipped, the rotary cylinder and rotary motor drive the part to rotate. Then the lifting cylinder 20 drives the part to rise. After the part is moved to the designated position by the drive motor and belt, the lifting cylinder drives the part to fall. The unloading mechanism 22 is used to put the part down and then reset.

[0026] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
