[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0028] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 A radiator appearance inspection station, including an observation platform 11;

[0029] The observation platform 11 is equipped with a belt conveyor line 12 for transporting radiators 5 at its right end; a belt conveyor line 13 for sorting radiators 5 is equipped on the left side of the observation platform 11, and the belt conveyor line 13 is electrically connected to the central control system; a rotating mechanism 3 for driving the radiators 5 to rotate is connected to the upper right side of the observation platform 11; a flipping mechanism 4 for flipping the radiators 5 on the upper side of the rotating mechanism 3 to the upper left side of the observation platform 11 is connected to the upper end of the observation platform 11; a transport mechanism 2 for transporting the radiators 5 on the upper side of the belt conveyor line 12 to the upper end of the rotating mechanism 3 is provided on the upper side of the observation platform 11, and the transport mechanism 2 transports the radiators 5 on the upper left side of the observation platform 11 to the upper end of the belt conveyor line 13.

[0030] In this invention, the rotating mechanism 3 drives the radiator 5 to rotate a specified number of times, making it easier for operators to inspect the radiator 5 for cracks. The flipping mechanism 4 flips the radiator 5 at the top of the rotating mechanism 3 to the left side of the top of the observation platform 11, allowing for observation of the bottom of the radiator 5. The rotating mechanism 3, in conjunction with the flipping mechanism 4, helps operators to observe the radiator 5 without blind spots, saving manpower and improving observation efficiency. The transport mechanism 2 transports the radiator 5 on the top of the belt conveyor 12 to the top of the rotating mechanism 3, and simultaneously transports the radiator 5 on the left side of the top of the observation platform 11 to the top of the belt conveyor 13, achieving synchronous automatic loading and unloading of the radiator 5 and improving work efficiency. When no external problems are observed in the radiator 5, the operator drives the belt conveyor 13 through the central control system to move the radiator 5 backward to the next inspection device. When obvious problems are observed in the radiator 5, the operator drives the belt conveyor 13 through the central control system to move the radiator 5 forward to the recycling station.

[0031] The transport mechanism 2 includes a tooling frame 21, a linear module 22, a drive cylinder 23, a connecting plate 24, and grippers 25. The linear module 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the tooling frame 21. The linear module 22 is located directly above the observation platform 11. The drive cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the linear module 22. The connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive cylinder 23. Grippers 25 for holding the radiator 5 are fixedly connected symmetrically to the lower end of the connecting plate 24.

[0032] In this invention, the output end of the drive cylinder 23 drives the connecting plate 24 to move the left and right grippers 25 downwards. The right gripper 25 clamps the radiator 5 at the upper end of the fixed belt conveyor 12, while the left gripper 25 clamps the radiator 5 on the left side of the upper end of the fixed observation platform 11. At this time, the output end of the drive cylinder 23 drives the connecting plate 24 to move the two radiators 5 upwards through the grippers 25. The moving end of the linear module 22 drives the two radiators 5 to move to the left through the drive cylinder 23. When the right radiator 5 moves to the upper side of the rotating mechanism 3, the left radiator 5 moves to the upper side of the belt conveyor 13. The output end of the drive cylinder 23 drives the connecting plate 24 to move the left and right radiators 5 downwards through the grippers 25, and the left and right grippers 25 release the radiators 5, releasing the fixation of the radiators 5. This simultaneously realizes the automatic loading and unloading of the radiators 5, saving time and improving work efficiency.

[0033] The rotating mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, a turntable 32, and a servo motor 33. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the upper right side of the observation platform 11. The lower end of the turntable 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 31. The servo motor 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the observation platform 11, and the output end of the servo motor 33 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 31. The upper left side of the observation platform 11 and the upper end of the turntable 32 are both provided with limiting grooves 34 for limiting the radiator 5, and the sidewalls of the limiting grooves 34 are chamfered.

[0034] In this invention, when the radiator 5 is transported to the upper end of the turntable 32, the output end of the servo motor 33 drives the rotating shaft 31 to rotate the turntable 32. The turntable 32 drives the radiator 5 at the upper end of the turntable 32 to rotate a specified number of times, which makes it easier for the operator to observe the radiator 5, saves manpower, and improves observation efficiency. The radiator 5 is limited by the limiting groove 34 set on the upper left side of the observation platform 11 and the upper end of the turntable 32. Even if the radiator 5 deviates due to equipment vibration, the radiator 5 will slide into the inner side of the limiting groove 34 through the chamfer set on the side wall of the limiting groove 34, thereby achieving the positioning of the radiator 5.

[0035] The flipping mechanism 4 includes a rotary cylinder 41, a drive rod 42, a vertical plate 43, a drive block 44, a second gripper 45, and a positioning block 46. The rotary cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper end of the observation platform 11. The output end of the rotary cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the drive rod 42. The vertical plate 43 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper end of the observation platform 11. The front end of the drive rod 42 passes through the rear vertical plate 43 and is rotatably connected to the front vertical plate 43. The drive block 44 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive rod 42. The second gripper 45 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive block 44. The positioning blocks 46, which position the second gripper 45, are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of the observation platform 11. A soft pad for cushioning is fixedly connected to the upper end of the positioning block 46.

[0036] In this invention, the radiator 5 at the upper end of the rotating mechanism 3 is held by the second gripper 45. The rotating cylinder 41 drives the drive rod 42 to drive the second gripper 45 to rotate counterclockwise through the drive block 44. The second gripper 45 drives the radiator 5 to rotate counterclockwise around the drive rod 42. When the side wall of the second gripper 45 abuts against the upper end of the left positioning block 46, the radiator 5 is flipped. At this time, the second gripper 45 releases the radiator 5, which makes it easier for the operator to observe the bottom of the radiator 5, saving manpower and improving observation efficiency.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
