[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Identical parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.
[0029] As shown in the figure, an inverter housing processing and transfer device with a flipping mechanism includes a ground rail 1, a mounting plate 2 slidably connected to the ground rail 1, a drive mechanism for driving the mounting plate 2 to slide on the mounting plate 2, a traveling tray bracket 3 and a multi-axis robotic arm 4 bolted to the surface of the mounting plate 2, a gripper mechanism for grasping the inverter housing on the multi-axis robotic arm 4, a water receiving tray 5 on the top of the traveling tray bracket 3, and a flipping mechanism for flipping the inverter housing in a certain direction on the water receiving tray 5.
[0030] The gripper mechanism of the multi-axis robotic arm 4 can grasp the inverter housing. Through the cooperation of the ground rail 1 and the drive mechanism, the mounting plate 2 can slide smoothly and quickly on the ground rail 1, achieving rapid transfer of the inverter housing. The flipping mechanism can easily flip the inverter housing, meeting the needs of different directions during processing, saving transfer and processing time, and improving production efficiency. The water collection tray 5 on the top of the accompanying tray bracket 3 can collect any liquids that may be generated, preventing liquid leakage from polluting the equipment and the environment.
[0031] A slide rail 6 is provided on both sides of the top of the ground rail 1. Several sliders 7 are slidably connected to the two slide rails 6. The top of the sliders 7 is fixed to the mounting plate 2 with bolts. Through the cooperation of the slide rails 6 and the sliders 7, the mounting plate 2 can slide on the ground rail 1, and the inverter housing can slide to the designated position as needed.
[0032] The drive mechanism includes a rack 8, a geared motor 9, a motor mounting plate 10, a motor gear 11, a gear groove 12, a gear shaft 13, a lubrication gear 14, and a gear bracket 15. The rack 8 is located on one side of a slide rail 6. The top of the motor mounting plate 10 is bolted to the geared motor 9, and its bottom is bolted to the mounting plate 2. The output shaft of the geared motor 9 passes through the mounting plate 2 facing the rack 8. The motor gear 11 is located on the output shaft of the geared motor 9 and meshes with the rack 8. The gear groove 12 is opened on the surface of the mounting plate 2 and is located on one side of the motor mounting plate 10. One side of the gear bracket 15 is bolted to the surface of the mounting plate 2 and bends towards the rack 8 into the gear groove 12. The gear shaft 13 is located at the bottom of the gear bracket 15 and is inserted into the lubrication gear 14, which meshes with the rack 8.
[0033] The geared motor 9 provides stable speed and torque output, ensuring smooth operation of the drive mechanism even under varying loads. The meshing between the rack 8, motor gear 11, and lubrication gear 14 enables efficient transmission. When the geared motor 9 provides driving force to rotate the motor gear 11, the transmission of the gears drives the sliding between the slider 7 and the slide rail 6, further moving the mounting plate 2 to the designated position.
[0034] The flipping mechanism includes two positioning trays 16, each with a positioning post 17 at one of its four corners, and two supporting base plates 18 between them. A flipping fixing plate 19 is bolted to the top of each of the two supporting base plates 18. Four pads 20 are provided on the flipping fixing plate 19, and a set of fixing mechanisms for fixing the inverter housing is provided on one side of each of the four pads 20.
[0035] The design of the two positioning trays 16 provides support for the inverter housing. When it needs to be flipped, the inverter housing can be temporarily placed on the positioning trays 16. The positioning posts 17 further enhance the stability of the positioning trays 16 and ensure the accurate positioning of the inverter housing before and after flipping. The presence of the support base plate 18 provides solid support for the flipping fixing plate 19. The design of the flipping fixing plate 19 allows the inverter housing to remain stable during the flipping process. The design of the pad 20 provides uniform support for the inverter housing. The presence of the fixing mechanism ensures that the inverter housing is firmly fixed during the flipping process.
[0036] Multiple limit blocks 21 are provided on both positioning trays 16; the limit blocks 21 limit the inverter housing, so that the inverter housing will not shake or shift when placed on the positioning tray 16.
[0037] The fixing mechanism includes a cylinder mounting base 22, a drive cylinder 23, a connecting rod seat 24, a movable connecting rod 25, and a fixed pressure block 26. The cylinder mounting base 22 is located on one side of the mounting plate 2, away from the pad block 20. The bottom of the drive cylinder 23 is bolted to the cylinder mounting base 22, and its top is bolted to the connecting rod seat 24. The connecting rod seat 24 is located on the side facing the pad block 20. There are two movable connecting rods 25. The bottom of the two movable connecting rods 25 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod seat 24, and the top is rotatably connected to the fixed pressure block 26. One side of the fixed pressure block 26 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the drive cylinder 23.
[0038] The cylinder mounting base 22 provides a stable support for the drive cylinder 23, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the cylinder during operation. The drive cylinder 23 can generate sufficient thrust or pull force through the extension and retraction of the piston rod to achieve a firm fixation of the inverter housing. The connecting rod seat 24, as a key component connecting the drive cylinder 23 and the movable connecting rod 25, ensures stable transmission between the two. One side of the fixed pressure block 26 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the drive cylinder 23. This design allows the pressure block to move with the extension and retraction of the piston rod, thereby achieving the fixation and release of the inverter housing.
[0039] A cable chain bracket 27 is provided on the side of the accompanying tray support 3 facing the water receiving tray 5. A cable chain 28 is provided on the top of the cable chain bracket 27. Several cable chain sheet metals 29 are provided at one end of the cable chain 28. The cable chain sheet metals 29 are provided on the surface of the ground rail 1.
[0040] Cable chains 28 and sheet metal cable chains 29 protect and support cables, water pipes, and other wiring on the accompanying tray. The presence of cable chain brackets 27 and cable chains 28 effectively secures the wiring, preventing wear or breakage due to movement, thereby ensuring normal equipment operation and improving overall safety.
[0041] The gripper mechanism includes a flange connecting plate 30 bolted to the end of the multi-axis robotic arm 4. A transition short plate 31 is provided on the flange connecting plate 30. A transition long plate 32 is bolted to both sides of the transition short plate 31. A gripper fixing plate 33 is bolted to both transition long plates 32. A plug-in block 34 is provided at each of the four corners of the two gripper fixing plates 33.
[0042] Working principle: In use, the multi-axis robotic arm 4 first uses the plug block 34 to grab the inverter housing and place it on the positioning tray 16. Through components such as the reduction motor 9, motor gear 11, rack 8, and lubrication gear 14, the slide rail 6 and slider 7 can slide. At the same time, the slider 7 is connected to the mounting plate 2, which can further slide by driving the mounting plate 2. When it moves to the designated position and the inverter housing needs to be flipped, the housing to be flipped is placed from the positioning tray 16 onto the flipping fixing plate 19. First, the pad 20 on the flipping fixing plate 19 is connected to the housing, and then the housing is fixed by the drive cylinder 23, connecting seat, movable connecting rod 25, and fixing pressure block 26. When the robotic arm rotates to the other side, the inverter housing is released, and the robotic arm grabs the workpiece from the other side, thus changing direction.
