Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of crankshaft connecting rod processing technology, and in particular relates to an automatic flipping device for crankshaft connecting rod processing. Background Technology

[0002] The crankshaft connecting rod is a crucial mechanical component in an internal combustion engine. It connects the piston and the crankshaft, converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, thereby enabling the engine to output power. Specifically, when the fuel mixture in the combustion chamber is ignited, the resulting high-pressure gas pushes the piston downward. This linear motion is transmitted to the crankshaft through the connecting rod. The crankshaft, with its eccentric design, converts this reciprocating motion into rotational motion, driving the vehicle's transmission system or the working parts of mechanical equipment.

[0003] Existing crankshaft connecting rod machining processes lack an automatic tilting device for adaptively fixing the crankshaft connecting rod. The problems with this technology are as follows: Firstly, in traditional machining methods, operators need to manually adjust and fix the position of the crankshaft connecting rod to complete machining operations at different angles. This manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to human error leading to insecure workpiece clamping or positional deviations, thus affecting machining accuracy and product quality. Secondly, manually tilting the crankshaft connecting rod not only increases the operator's workload but also poses certain safety hazards, especially when handling large or heavy workpieces. Workers need to exert considerable physical labor, and accidents are prone to occur during frequent tilting. Furthermore, due to the lack of automated equipment, machining efficiency is difficult to significantly improve. Under traditional methods, each adjustment of the workpiece position requires a significant amount of time, which cannot meet the demands of modern high-efficiency production. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic flipping device for crankshaft connecting rod machining that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an automatic flipping device for crankshaft connecting rod processing includes a fixed base, an electric pump, a telescopic rod, a lifting plate, a mounting plate, and a flipping motor. One side surface of the fixed base is fixedly connected to the surface of the electric pump. The inner wall of the fixed base is fixedly connected to the middle surface of the telescopic rod. Both ends of the telescopic rod are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of the two lifting plates. The upper end of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the flipping motor. The output end of the flipping motor is drivenly connected to the surface of the mounting plate. The lower end of the mounting plate is slidably connected to the upper end of the lifting plate through a sliding groove. The lower surface of the lifting plate is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed base through a sliding groove. A fixing mechanism is provided at the upper end of the lifting plate, and a transmission mechanism is provided below the fixing mechanism.

[0006] The fixing mechanism is used to clamp both ends of the workpiece;

[0007] The transmission mechanism is used to drive the fixed mechanism.

[0008] To improve operational safety, the fixing mechanism preferably includes a clamping screw, a connecting rod, a fixing block, an elastic block, and a rubber plate. The surface of the clamping screw is threaded to the lower inner wall of the two connecting rods. The upper end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing block. The upper inner wall of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the elastic block. The front surface of the elastic block is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the rubber plate. By rotating the clamping screw, the position of the connecting rod can be adjusted so that the fixing block and rubber plate at the top can fit against the crankshaft connecting rod surface, achieving stable clamping. At the same time, the clamping screw has a self-locking characteristic, ensuring that the workpiece will not slip due to vibration or other external forces during subsequent flipping.

[0009] To improve the synchronization of the clamping process, preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a small motor, a support rod, a driving gear, a driven gear, a fixed rod, and a connecting block. The output end of the small motor is fixedly connected to the front surface of the support rod, the surface of the support rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the driving gear, the tooth surface of the driving gear meshes with the tooth surface of the driven gear, the inner wall of the driven gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod, and the surface of the fixed rod is rotatably connected to the upper inner wall of the connecting block via a bearing. When the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate, the fixed rod rotates synchronously. This synchronization mechanism ensures the coordinated operation of the clamping mechanism and avoids workpiece displacement or damage caused by asynchrony.

[0010] To improve the flexibility of clamping, preferably, a guide groove is provided on the side of the mounting plate, and a protective plate is provided on the inner wall of the guide groove. The surface of the protective plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. The guide groove is provided to provide a moving path for the connecting rod, ensuring that it can move smoothly along the predetermined trajectory, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the entire fixing mechanism and ensuring that each operation achieves the expected results.

[0011] To improve the reliability of the flipping process, preferably, the two ends of the clamping screw are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, the surface of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove, the rear surface of the fixing block is in contact with the surface of the mounting plate, and the surface of the rubber plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block. The rubber plate can adaptively adjust its position according to the shape of the workpiece and provide a soft and uniform pressure distribution, which can effectively prevent damage to the surface of the workpiece and increase friction to ensure that the workpiece is firmly clamped during processing and avoid the risk of slippage due to vibration or other external forces.

[0012] To improve transmission stability, preferably, the surface of the small motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, the rear end surface of the support rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, both ends of the fixed rod are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two clamping screws, the surface of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, and the lower inner wall of the connecting block is rotatably connected to the surface of the support rod through a bearing. The connecting block provides low-friction, high-stability rotational support, enabling the support rod and the fixed rod to remain stable during high-speed rotation, while ensuring a stable distance between the support rod and the fixed rod, thereby ensuring accurate meshing of the driving gear and the driven gear.

[0013] To improve the smoothness of the connecting rod's movement, preferably, the upper surface of the protective plate is slidably connected to the lower surface of the fixing block. The presence of the protective plate effectively prevents external impurities from entering the guide groove, thus avoiding the influence of these impurities on the connecting rod's movement process.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention comprises a fixing mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a clamping screw, a connecting rod, a fixing block, a rubber plate, a support rod, a driving gear, a driven gear, and a connecting block. The fixing mechanism clamps both ends of the workpiece, while the transmission mechanism rotates the fixing mechanism. By rotating the clamping screw, the position of the connecting rod can be adjusted, allowing the fixing block and rubber plate at the top to fit against the crankshaft connecting rod surface for stable clamping. The clamping screw also has a self-locking characteristic, ensuring that the workpiece will not slip due to vibration or other external forces during subsequent flipping. When the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate, the fixing rod rotates synchronously. This synchronization mechanism ensures coordinated operation of the clamping mechanism, avoiding workpiece offset or damage caused by asynchrony. This invention solves the problem of the current lack of automatic adaptive fixing devices in crankshaft connecting rod processing, which leads to manual adjustment and fixing of the workpiece, which is time-consuming and error-prone, affecting processing accuracy and quality. Manual flipping increases labor intensity and safety risks, especially when processing large workpieces, where the lack of automated equipment makes it difficult to improve processing efficiency and meet modern production needs.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] During the crankshaft connecting rod machining and flipping operation, firstly, based on the specific length of the workpiece, the electric pump 6 drives the telescopic rod 7 to operate. This process allows the lifting plate 8, which is equipped with mounting plate 9, to slide along the slide groove within the fixed seat 5, thereby adjusting the distance between the two mounting plates 9. Subsequently, the two ends of the crankshaft connecting rod to be machined are respectively placed on the two mounting plates 9. To ensure that the crankshaft connecting rod remains stable during machining, the small motor 201 inside the mounting plate 9 is started, driving the drive gear 203 to rotate through the support rod 202 connected to its output end. This drive gear 203 meshes with the driven gear 204, further driving the fixed rod 205 to rotate synchronously. The fixed rod 205 is equipped with clamping screws 101 at both ends. When the clamping screws 101 rotate, the connecting rods 102 on them... The crankshaft connecting rod will move along the guide groove 3, causing the fixing block 103 at the top of the connecting rod 102 and the rubber plate 105 fixed thereon to gradually approach and eventually make tight contact with the surface of the crankshaft connecting rod, achieving a stable clamping. Since the screw has a self-locking characteristic, this can effectively avoid the risk of the workpiece slipping during the subsequent flipping process. After completing the above steps, the flipping motor 10 located on the lifting plate 8 is started. The output end of the motor meshes with the lower side of the mounting plate 9, which can drive the entire mounting plate 9 and the workpiece clamped on it to rotate along the slide groove on the lifting plate 8 to achieve the purpose of precise flipping of the crankshaft connecting rod. After the processing is completed, the above steps can be performed in reverse order to safely remove the processed crankshaft connecting rod. The whole process improves work efficiency while ensuring the safety and accuracy of operation.
