Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive air conditioning production and processing, and in particular relates to an auxiliary flipping filter barrel mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In factory production lines, automotive air conditioning filter cartridges require flipping during assembly, turning the top and bottom surfaces of the cartridges. Because the filter cartridges are relatively large, manual flipping is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, while automated handling mechanisms are costly. Furthermore, the tall and large filter cartridges need to be transported via conveyor systems as much as possible. Therefore, a low-cost auxiliary filter cartridge flipping mechanism that can be applied to conveyor systems is needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a low-cost auxiliary tilting filter barrel mechanism that can be applied to a transmission mechanism.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An auxiliary tilting filter barrel mechanism includes: a transmission mechanism, a left fixed frame, a right fixed frame, a rotating horizontal bar, two vertical bars, four limiting bars, and a hand-held bar;
[0006] The transmission mechanism conveys the vertically placed filter barrel in the front-to-back direction, and the left and right ends of the bottom surface of the filter barrel are suspended in the width direction of the transmission mechanism.
[0007] The left and right fixed frames are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the transmission mechanism;
[0008] The left and right ends of the rotating crossbar are respectively rotatably supported by the left fixed frame and the right fixed frame, and the rotating crossbar is used to intercept the middle part of the filter barrel;
[0009] The vertical rods are arranged vertically, and the middle of each vertical rod is fixedly connected to the rotating horizontal rod. The distance between two vertical rods is less than the outer diameter of the filter barrel.
[0010] The limiting rods are arranged front and back, and each vertical rod has a limiting rod fixed vertically at both its upper and lower ends. Each vertical rod is perpendicular to the middle of the limiting rods. The top and bottom surfaces of the filter bucket are respectively limited between the four limiting rods.
[0011] One end of the handheld lever is fixed to the rotating crossbar. Rotating the handheld lever causes the four limiting rods to rotate around the rotating crossbar as the axis of rotation, thereby causing the filter bucket to flip up and down.
[0012] Furthermore, the left and right fixing frames are provided with a pair of frame rods, and the filter barrel is constrained between the two frame rods in the left and right directions.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an auxiliary rod parallel to the rotating crossbar, the auxiliary rod being vertically fixed to a vertical rod away from the hand handle, and the auxiliary rod being located above the rotating crossbar.
[0014] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism is a fluid strip conveyor.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention provides an auxiliary filter bucket tilting mechanism, saving operators time and effort during the tilting process. When the filter bucket slides into the conveying mechanism and moves to the auxiliary tilting mechanism, the two upper limit rods restrict the movement of the top of the filter bucket, while the two lower limit rods support the bottom. The operator rotates the filter bucket 180 degrees clockwise using a hand lever. Before tilting, the two lower limit rods engage and abut against the filter bucket due to its weight; after tilting, the two upper limit rods engage and abut against the filter bucket. The four limit rods tilt the filter bucket 180 degrees, allowing the operator to hold the filter bucket during the tilting process. Integrating the auxiliary tilting mechanism into the conveying mechanism does not interfere with the operator's continued work, and the mechanized auxiliary tilting mechanism reduces costs and improves work efficiency.

[0026] See appendix Figure 1-4 Description of this embodiment: An auxiliary flipping filter barrel mechanism includes: a transmission mechanism 1, a left fixed frame 2, a right fixed frame 3, a rotating horizontal bar 4, two vertical bars 5, four limiting bars 6, and a hand-held bar 7.
[0027] The transmission mechanism 1 conveys the vertically placed filter barrel in the front-back direction. Along the width direction and left-right direction of the transmission mechanism 1, the left and right ends of the bottom surface of the filter barrel are suspended in the air; that is, the transmission mechanism 1 supports the middle position of the bottom surface of the filter barrel, and the left and right ends of the bottom surface of the filter barrel do not contact the transmission mechanism 1.
[0028] The left fixed frame 2 and the right fixed frame 3 are fixed on the left and right sides of the transmission mechanism 1, respectively.
[0029] The left and right ends of the rotating crossbar 4 are rotatably supported by the left fixed frame 2 and the right fixed frame 3, respectively. The rotating crossbar 4 is used to intercept the middle of the filter barrel. Bearings are provided on the left fixed frame 2 and the right fixed frame 3 to fit the rotating crossbar 4, allowing the rotating crossbar 4 to rotate freely. The rotating crossbar 4 is arranged in the left-right direction. The rotating crossbar 4 is above the transmission mechanism 1.
[0030] The vertical rods 5 are arranged vertically, and the middle of each vertical rod 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating horizontal rod 4. The distance between two vertical rods 5 is less than the outer diameter of the filter barrel. The two vertical rods 5 are located between the left fixed frame 2 and the right fixed frame 3.
[0031] The limiting rods 6 are arranged front and back. Each vertical rod 5 has a limiting rod 6 fixed vertically at both the top and bottom ends. Each vertical rod 5 is perpendicular to the middle of the limiting rod 6. The two limiting rods 6 located at the bottom are located below the corresponding left and right ends of the suspended filter barrel. The top and bottom surfaces of the filter barrel are respectively limited between the four limiting rods 6.
[0032] Two vertical rods 5 serve to fix and support the limiting rods 6, and are symmetrically arranged on the rotating horizontal rod 4. The ends of the four limiting rods 6 and the two vertical rods 5 are arranged in a T-shape. In the height direction, the filter bucket is located between the four limiting rods 6. The two lower limiting rods 6 can lift the filter bucket during the initial rotation of the rotating horizontal rod 4. The two lower limiting rods 6 are close to the two suspended positions of the bottom surface of the filter bucket, and their height is lower than or equal to the supporting surface of the transmission mechanism 1, which facilitates the smooth placement of the filter bucket onto the transmission mechanism 1. The two upper limiting rods 6 have a certain gap from the top surface of the filter bucket, but the gap should not be too large to prevent the filter bucket from sliding. The gap is preferably 1-5cm.
[0033] One end of the handheld lever 7 is fixed to the rotating crossbar 4. Rotating the handheld lever 7 causes the four limiting rods 6 to rotate the filter bucket up and down. The handheld lever 7, the four limiting rods 6, and the two vertical rods 5 are all fixed together with the rotating crossbar 4, with the rotating crossbar 4 as the axis of rotation. Initially, rotating the handheld lever 7 causes the rotating crossbar 4 to rotate, and the two limiting rods 6 at the bottom lift the filter bucket. At the same time, the middle of the filter bucket forms a fulcrum for rotation due to the action of the rotating crossbar 4. The filter bucket rotates around the rotating crossbar 4, flipping from the front side of the rotating crossbar 4 to the back side and falling onto the two limiting rods 6, and finally onto the transmission mechanism 1. To better stabilize the filter bucket, it can be held by hand during the rotation process.
[0034] Preferably, the left fixing frame 2 and the right fixing frame 3 are provided with a pair of frame rods 9, and the filter barrel is constrained between the two frame rods 9 in the left and right directions. The frame rods 9 can be right-angle rods with 90° bends, and the bottom ends of the two frame rods 9 are connected to the corresponding left fixing frame 2 and right fixing frame 3.
[0035] Preferably, it also includes an auxiliary rod 8 parallel to the rotating crossbar 4. The auxiliary rod 8 is vertically fixed to the vertical rod 5 away from the hand-held rod 7, and is located above the rotating crossbar 4. The auxiliary rod 8 serves to further restrict the position of the filter canister and intercept it.
[0036] Preferably, the conveying mechanism 1 is a flow bar conveyor. The conveying mechanism 1 includes two flow bars, the width of which is smaller than the outer diameter of the filter barrel.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present invention. The embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention.
