Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping device technology, and in particular to a clamping mechanism for a flipping device. Background Technology
[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] The motorcycle shock absorber housing is a crucial component of the motorcycle suspension system. Its primary function is to absorb road impacts through internal damping oil and piston movement, providing a stable riding experience. The housing is typically cylindrical and contains key components such as pistons and seals. Its manufacturing quality directly affects the motorcycle's shock absorption performance and lifespan. During production, the housing undergoes various processing steps, including painting, drilling, and cold bending, to meet design and functional requirements.
[0004] When machining motorcycle shock absorber cylinders, to ensure comprehensive and precise machining, the cylinders typically need to be clamped and rotated to achieve all-around machining. However, in practical use, existing clamping and rotating devices for motorcycle shock absorber cylinders make it difficult for the machining device to effectively machine the corresponding contact points because the clamping part is always in contact with the cylinder. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new clamping mechanism for a rotating device that can flexibly rotate the cylinder and ensure comprehensive machining to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a clamping mechanism for a flipping device, enabling flexible flipping of the cylinder while ensuring comprehensive processing.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a clamping mechanism for a flipping device, comprising:
[0007] The clamping frame comprises two frames arranged in an X-shape and distributed vertically;
[0008] Multiple connecting rods are respectively disposed on both sides of each of the frames, and each of the connecting rods can slide up and down at the frame;
[0009] The first driving unit is disposed at the bottom of one of the connecting rods, and the bottom of the remaining connecting rods and the moving end of the first driving unit are provided with clamping columns. The corresponding clamping columns can rotate at the bottom of the connecting rods. The first driving unit is used to drive the corresponding clamping columns to rotate, and after each clamping column contacts the cylinder, it drives the cylinder to rotate.
[0010] The second drive unit is disposed on the top frame and is used to drive the bottom frame to rotate;
[0011] The third drive unit is used to drive each of the connecting rods to slide up and down.
[0012] Furthermore, the clamping frame also includes multiple mounting platforms disposed on both sides of each of the frame bodies, and each of the connecting rods is slidably disposed on the corresponding mounting platform.
[0013] Furthermore, each of the connecting rods is provided with a guide platform at its top, and both sides of the frame have retractable telescopic parts. Each of the mounting platforms is respectively located at the corresponding telescopic part of the frame. The frame is hollow inside and is provided with an injection port communicating with the interior. When fluid is injected into the frame, it can drive its telescopic parts to extend and retract.
[0014] Furthermore, the third drive unit includes a linear module mounted on the top frame. A connecting frame is provided at the moving end of the linear module. The linear module can drive the connecting frame to move up and down. An annular adjustment ring is provided on the side of the connecting frame away from the linear module. Multiple connecting posts that can slide along the edge of the adjustment ring are provided at the bottom of the ring. The bottom of each connecting post is slidably connected to the guide platform.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the clamping columns is provided with an anti-slip layer, which is used to increase the friction between the clamping column and the cylinder after they come into contact.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:
[0017] This invention utilizes a second drive unit to rotate the bottom frame, allowing the two X-shaped frames to be adjusted and clamp the shock-absorbing cylinder to be processed. After clamping, the first drive unit drives the corresponding clamping columns to rotate the cylinder, exposing the surfaces of the cylinder that were originally covered by the clamping columns. This clamping and flipping method is suitable for processing various positions of the cylinder. In addition, the third drive unit drives the connecting rods to slide away from the frame, increasing the distance between the cylinder and the frame. This allows the processing device to easily extend between the cylinder and the frame and process the corresponding end faces of the cylinder. Therefore, this device can flip and adjust the cylinder after clamping it, facilitating comprehensive processing of the cylinder. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a clamping mechanism for a flipping device, including a clamping frame 1, which includes two X-shaped frames 11 arranged vertically. In use, the bottom frame 11 can be rotated and adjusted around the connection point with the top frame 11. Each frame 11 has a connecting rod 14 on both sides, and each connecting rod 14 can slide up and down at the frame 11.
[0025] In one embodiment, a first driving part 15 is provided at the bottom of one of the connecting rods 14, and clamping posts 16 are provided at the bottom of the remaining connecting rods 14 and at the moving end of the first driving part 15. The corresponding clamping posts 16 can rotate at the bottom of the connecting rod 14. The first driving part 15 is used to drive the corresponding clamping posts 16 to rotate, and after each clamping post 16 contacts the cylinder, it drives the cylinder to rotate. A second driving part 2 is provided on the top frame 11, which is used to drive the bottom frame 11 to rotate. The device also includes a third driving part, which is used to drive each connecting rod 14 to slide up and down.
[0026] In specific implementation, the second drive unit 2 can drive the bottom frame 11 to rotate, so that the two frames 11 in an X-shape can be adjusted accordingly and clamp the shock-absorbing cylinder to be processed. After clamping, the first drive unit 15 can drive the corresponding clamping column 16 to rotate the cylinder, so that the surface of the cylinder that was originally covered by each clamping column 16 is exposed. This clamping and flipping method is suitable for processing each position of the cylinder. In addition, the third drive unit drives each connecting rod 14 to slide away from the frame 11, which can increase the distance between the cylinder and the frame 11. At this time, it is convenient for the processing device to extend between the cylinder and the frame 11 and process the corresponding end face of the cylinder. Therefore, this device can flip and adjust the cylinder after clamping it, so as to facilitate the comprehensive processing of the cylinder.
[0027] In one embodiment, the clamping frame 1 further includes a plurality of mounting platforms 12 disposed on both sides of each frame 11, and each connecting rod 14 is slidably mounted on the corresponding mounting platform 12.
[0028] With this design, the connecting rod 14 is limited and guided by the mounting platform 12 when sliding, thereby ensuring its adjustment stability.
[0029] In one embodiment, a guide platform 13 is installed on the top of each connecting rod 14, and telescopic parts are provided on both sides of the frame 11. Each mounting platform 12 is installed at the corresponding telescopic part of the frame 11. The frame 11 is hollow inside and has an injection port 17 that communicates with the interior.
[0030] In practice, when hydraulic oil or air is injected into the frame 11, it can drive its telescopic parts to extend and retract, thereby moving each mounting platform 12 and connecting rod 14 toward the side closer to or away from the center of the frame 11. This design allows the device to effectively adapt to shock-absorbing cylinders of different diameters. The above-mentioned method of using fluid to drive the telescopic ends of the frame 11 to extend and retract is common knowledge in the field, so its specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0031] In one embodiment, the third drive unit includes a linear module 3 mounted on the top frame 11. A connecting frame 4 is mounted at the moving end of the linear module 3. The linear module 3 can drive the connecting frame 4 to move up and down. An annular adjusting ring 5 is mounted on the side of the connecting frame 4 away from the linear module 3. A plurality of connecting posts 6 are provided at the bottom of the adjusting ring 5, which can slide along its edge. The bottom of each connecting post 6 is slidably connected to the guide platform 13.
[0032] In practice, by driving the linear module 3 to work, the connecting frame 4 can drive the adjusting ring 5 to move up and down. During this process, each connecting column 6 moves synchronously and drives the corresponding connecting rod 14 to move. In addition, when the telescopic end of the frame 11 is telescopically adjusted, the guide table 13 will move synchronously. Since it slides with the corresponding connecting column 6, it will not affect the connecting column 6.
[0033] In one embodiment, each clamping post 16 is provided with an anti-slip layer, which may be a rubber layer with anti-slip texture.
[0034] This design uses an anti-slip layer to increase the friction between the clamping column 16 and the cylinder after they come into contact. Therefore, when the corresponding clamping column 16 rotates, the cylinder can also rotate effectively, preventing slippage.
[0035] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.
[0036] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0037] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
