[0029] For the person skilled in the art to better understand the technical scheme of the present application, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] As Figures 1-2 shown, the first embodiment of the present application:

[0031] The compressor shell overturning mechanism of the present application mainly comprises a mounting base plate 2, a vertical plate 6, a clamping mechanism and an overturning mechanism. Two vertical plates 6 are mounted on the bottom of the mounting base plate 2 along the left-right direction. Clamping jaws 9 for clamping the compressor shell are mounted on the inner side of the two vertical plates 6.

[0032] I. Clamping mechanism

[0033] At least one of the two vertical plates 6 can approach and move away from the other vertical plate 6 along the left-right direction, and the clamping and loosening of the compressor shell are realized by changing the distance between the two vertical plates 6. Among them, the clamping mechanism can have the following two cases:

[0034] 1. A clamping cylinder 18 is mounted on the top outer side of one of the vertical plates 6. Such a structure makes the clamping cylinder 18 connected to the other vertical plate 6 through the clamping cylinder floating joint 5, so that the clamping cylinder 18 mounted on the first vertical plate 6 drives the second vertical plate 6 to move in the left-right direction, realizing the change of the distance between the two vertical plates 6, and finally realizing the clamping process of the two clamping jaws 9 to the inner compressor shell.

[0035] 2. Clamping cylinders 18 are mounted on the top outer sides of the two vertical plates 6. Such a structure makes the two clamping cylinders 18 connected to the opposite vertical plates 6 respectively, so that the two vertical plates 6 can be driven synchronously to move in the same or opposite directions, and during the working process, it is necessary to ensure that the clamping cylinders 18 on both sides of the left-right direction keep synchronous centripetal, otherwise it cannot be put into the tool again.

[0036] In addition, during the movement of the vertical plate 6, the top of the vertical plate 6 is connected to the clamping guide rail 19 installed on the bottom of the mounting base plate 2 through the horizontal sliding block 3, and the clamping rack 22 installed on the top of the vertical plate 6 is engaged with the clamping gear 23, and the clamping rack 22 moves along the left and right directions under the guidance of the clamping rack holder 24. Through the processing of the above two guiding structures, the travel of the two vertical plates 6 during movement can be well controlled.

[0037] II. Turnover mechanism:

[0038] The telescopic cylinder 17 is installed on the outside of the vertical plate 6 through the telescopic cylinder bracket 16, the driving end at the bottom of the telescopic cylinder 17 drives the telescopic rack 20 below to move in the vertical direction through the telescopic cylinder floating joint 15 and the floating joint mounting block 14 in turn, and the telescopic rack 20 is engaged with the rotary gear 13 on one side, and the rotary gear 13 drives the clamping jaw 9 on the inside to rotate through the first rotary mechanism 10 (which can be a bearing, etc.).

[0039] Among them, the telescopic rack 20 during movement can also be guided by the guide rail sliding block structure installed on the vertical plate 6, and it is necessary to ensure that the two telescopic cylinders 17 are synchronized to prevent unilateral stress and affect the service life of the cylinder.

[0040] In addition, the telescopic cylinder 17 can also be designed as one structure, and the clamping jaw 9 is installed on the vertical plate 6 on the side without the telescopic cylinder 17 through the first rotary mechanism 10, which serves as a driven part.

[0041] III. Sensing mechanism during operation of the above mechanism:

[0042] 1. The clamping cylinder sensor on the vertical plate 6 and the clamping cylinder sensor on the mounting base plate 2 are matched with each other through the clamping cylinder sensor bracket 1, so as to sense the running state of the vertical plate 6.

[0043] 2. The clamping jaw in place sensor on the vertical plate 6 is installed on the clamping jaw in place sensor bracket 11, and the clamping jaw in place sensor on the clamping jaw 9 is installed on the clamping jaw in place sensor, so as to sense the turnover state of the clamping jaw 9.

[0044] IV. Limiting mechanism during turnover:

[0045] The limiting mechanism is installed on the upper side and the lower side of the clamping jaw 9, and the limiting mechanism is installed on the clamping jaw in place limiting plate 7 on the limiting device 21, so as to limit the clamping jaw 9 and make the clamping jaw 9 rotate within the range of 0-180 degrees.

[0046] Five, the inner side of the clamp jaw 9 is provided with a flexible clamp jaw contact block 27, which can be rubber or silicone or other similar flexible structures, and can protect the clamp jaw 9 when clamping the compressor shell.

[0047] The working process of the utility model is briefly described as follows:

[0048] 1. The mechanism is arranged directly above the center of the assembly line, the compressor shell is placed on a special tool tray, and is driven by the assembly line chain to reach directly below the mechanism, the special tool tray with the compressor shell is lifted by the jacking mechanism to be separated from the assembly line.

[0049] 2. The mechanism is lowered to a specified height by the upper servo mechanism.

[0050] 3. The clamping cylinder 18 on the left and right horizontal sides of the mechanism drives the clamping gear 23 and the clamping rack 22 to clamp the product to the center.

[0051] 4. The extension cylinder 17 on the upper and lower sides of the mechanism drives the rotary gear 13 and the extension rack 20 to extend the cylinder, at this time, the extension ratio of the extension rack 20 and the rotary gear 13 is about 1:2, and the limiting mechanism of the clamp jaw 9 ensures the accuracy of the 180-degree turning of the shell, otherwise the turned shell cannot be placed on the tool tray again.

In addition, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first", "second" and the like can be explicitly or implicitly included one or more features. In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0053] In the description of the utility model, it is necessary to explain, unless another explicit provision and limitation, term "installation", "link", "connection" should do broad sense understanding, for example, can be fixed connection, also can be detachable connection, or integrally connected, can be mechanical connection, also can be electrical connection, can be direct connection, also can pass through intermediate medium indirectly connect, can be two element inside intercommunication. For ordinary skilled person in the art, the above-mentioned term can be understood in the specific meaning in the utility model by specific circumstances.

[0054] The above only is the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not use for limiting the utility model, it should be pointed out, for ordinary skilled person in the art, on the premise of not departing from the technical principle of the utility model, can also make a number of improvements and variations, these improvements and variations also should view as the protection scope of the utility model.
