[0029] 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 some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a transfer fixture for an electrophoresis production line for automotive parts, including a transfer frame 1. There are two transfer frames 1, and the two transfer frames 1 are connected to the ground. The top of the two transfer frames 1 are fixedly connected to an assist mechanism 4.

[0031] The assist mechanism 4 includes a transfer frame 42, which is fixedly connected to two conveyor frames 1. Lead screws 41 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the transfer frame 42. A power motor 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the transfer frame 42. The output end of the power motor 43 passes through the transfer frame 42 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 41. A transfer plate 44 is threaded onto the outer surface of the lead screw 41. Two vertical plates 443 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer plate 44. A drum 442 is rotatably connected to the two vertical plates 443. A second power motor 441 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the vertical plates 443. The output end of the second power motor 441 passes through the corresponding vertical plate 443. A vertical plate 443 is fixedly connected to a drum 442. A steel wire rope 45 is wound around the outer surface of the drum 442. A locking component 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the steel wire rope 45. By setting an assist mechanism 4, a power motor 43 drives the lead screw 41 to rotate, so that the transfer plate 44 can move laterally on the transfer frame 42. A power motor 441 drives the drum 442 to rotate, realizing the winding and unwinding of the steel wire rope 45, thereby adjusting the height position of the locking component 5. This allows the device to flexibly transfer and position automotive parts, improving the working efficiency and applicability of the transfer tooling, and facilitating the precise transfer of parts between different stations on the electrophoresis production line.

[0032] Specifically, each of the two conveyor frames 1 has several hanging rings 2 installed at its bottom. The outer surface of each hanging ring 2 is equipped with double hooks 3, providing a reliable suspension connection method for automotive parts. The double hooks 3 can easily hook and unhook parts, and the multiple hanging rings 2 can increase the number of parts that can be transferred at one time, improving the transfer efficiency of the production line, while also ensuring the stability of the parts during the transfer process.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, two guide rods 46 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the transfer frame 42. The two guide rods 46 are slidably sleeved with the transfer plate 44. When the lead screw 41 drives the transfer plate 44 to move, the guide rods 46 can prevent the transfer plate 44 from deviating or shaking, making the movement of the transfer plate 44 more stable and precise, thereby improving the reliability of the power assist mechanism 4 and the accuracy of the transfer of parts.

[0034] Furthermore, the locking assembly 5 includes a locking plate 51, which is fixedly connected to the wire rope 45. Two fixing plates 512 are fixedly connected to the top of the locking plate 51. Locking rods 513 are slidably connected to the inner surfaces of both fixing plates 512. A clamping plate 517 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two locking rods 513. Both clamping plates 517 are slidably connected to the locking plate 51. Springs 511 are wound around the outer surfaces of both locking rods 513. Two clamping plates 516 are fixedly connected to the top of the locking plate 51. The second clamp 516 is respectively attached to the two clamping plates 517. The top of the locking plate 51 has a groove 515 for use with the two double hooks 3. The spring force of the spring 511 makes the clamping plate 517 and the second clamp 516 cooperate, which can firmly clamp the double hooks 3 in the groove 515 of the locking plate 51. This can achieve reliable locking of the double hooks 3 with parts attached, ensuring that the parts will not fall off during the transfer process, improving the safety and stability of the transfer tooling, and ensuring the smooth operation of the electrophoresis production line transfer work.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, one end of each of the two clamps 517 is rotatably connected to a transfer rod 53, making it easier for workers to move the locking assembly 5.

[0036] It is worth noting that the outer surfaces of both transfer rods 53 are fixedly fitted with soft pads 54, and the inner surfaces of both transfer rods 53 are slidably connected with round rods 55. The two ends of the round rods 55 are fixedly connected with limit plates 56, which can limit the movement range of the transfer rods 53, ensure that the transfer rods 53 play their role in a reasonable position, and enhance the overall stability of the locking assembly 5.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, one end of each of the two locking rods 513 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 52. The limiting plate 52 at one end of the locking rod 513 can prevent the locking rod 513 from sliding out of the fixing plate 512, ensuring the connection stability between the locking rod 513 and the clamping plate 517, thereby ensuring that the locking assembly 5 can work normally, and that the clamping plate 517 maintains the clamping force on the double hook hook 3 under the action of the spring 511.

[0038] It is worth emphasizing that the top of the locking plate 51 has two guide grooves 514, and the bottom of the clamping plate 517 is fixedly connected with guide blocks 518 that cooperate with the guide grooves 514. These guide blocks 518 can guide the movement of the clamping plate 517, making the movement of the clamping plate 517 more stable and accurate when clamping the double hook hook 3, preventing the clamping plate 517 from deviating, and improving the clamping accuracy and reliability of the locking assembly 5.

[0039] Among them, the first power motor 43 and the second power motor 441 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The wiring diagram of the motors in this utility model is common knowledge in the field, and their working principle is already known technology. The appropriate model is selected based on actual use; therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the motors will not be explained in detail.

[0040] Working principle and process: First, the car parts are hung on the hanging ring 2 at the bottom of one of the conveyor frames 1 by the double hooks 3. The assist mechanism 4 is started, and the first power motor 43 drives the lead screw 41 to rotate, so that the transfer plate 44 moves laterally on the transfer frame 42, and moves the locking component 5 above the corresponding parts. Then, the second power motor 441 drives the drum 442 to rotate, and the locking component 5 is lowered through the wire rope 45 until the locking plate 51 is close to the double hooks 3.

[0041] Once the locking plate 51 reaches the appropriate position, the operator presses down on the two transfer rods 53. The transfer rods 53 cause the clamping plate 517 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 511 and slide outward along the locking rod 513, thus increasing the space between the clamping plate 517 and the clamping plate 516. At this time, the double hook 3 is placed into the groove 515 at the top of the locking plate 51. The transfer rod 53 is then released. Under the action of the spring 511, the clamping plate 517 moves towards the clamping plate 516, tightly clamping the double hook 3, thus achieving a secure lock on the double hook 3 and the attached parts.

[0042] After locking is completed, the second motor 441 reverses, and the drum 442 winds up the wire rope 45, lifting the parts. The first motor 43 then operates again, driving the transfer plate 44 to move, transferring the locking assembly 5 and the parts towards another transfer frame 1. After reaching a suitable position above the target transfer frame 1, the second motor 441 rotates forward, and the drum 442 releases the wire rope 45, slowly lowering the parts. When the double hook 3 approaches the hanging ring 2 at the bottom of the target transfer frame 1, the transfer rod 53 is pressed again, causing the clamping plate 517 to slide outward, releasing the clamp on the double hook 3. The worker then hooks the double hook 3 onto the hanging ring 2 of the target transfer frame 1, completing the transfer of parts from one transfer frame 1 to another.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
