[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the multi-station synchronous rotation mechanism in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the clamping component in the embodiment. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A partial structural schematic diagram of the multi-station synchronous rotation mechanism in the embodiment.

[0032] This application provides a multi-station synchronous rotation mechanism, including a mounting frame 10, a drive assembly 30 mounted on the mounting frame 10, and multiple clamping assemblies 20. The drive assembly 30 drives the multiple clamping assemblies 20 to rotate synchronously, and each clamping assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 10. Each clamping assembly 20 includes a cylinder 21, a gripper 22, and a connector 23. The gripper 22 is movably connected to the cylinder 21. The cylinder 21 has a through hole, and the connector 23 is disposed corresponding to the through hole and fixedly connected to the cylinder 21. Specifically, the connector 23 can be inserted into the through hole and fixedly connected to the cylinder 21; alternatively, the connector 23 can be a tubular structure, with the cylinder 21 having an extension, the through hole located in the extension, the extension inserted into the connector 23 and fixedly connected to the connector 23; or the extension and the connector 23 can be fixedly connected via a flange. A seal 24 is provided between the connector 23 and the cylinder 21 to seal the gap between them. The connector 23 is connected to the drive assembly 30 for transmission. It is worth noting that the seal 24 is interference-fitted with the cylinder 21, and the seal 24 is relatively fixed to the cylinder 21, meaning the seal 24 rotates synchronously with the cylinder 21. This prevents relative movement between the seal 24 and the cylinder 21 from affecting the sealing performance of the cylinder 21. The seal 24 can be made of materials such as silicone or rubber.

[0033] In this application, a drive assembly 30 centrally controls the transmission of multiple clamping assemblies 20, achieving synchronization of multi-station rotational movements. A structural design is employed where the connector 23 connects to the through-hole of the cylinder 21, and a seal 24 ensures sealing to prevent leakage of the medium within the cylinder 21. The clamping assemblies 20 can be used to clamp products. By supplying air or liquid to the cylinder 21, the grippers 22 can be controlled to clamp or release the product. Since each clamping assembly 20 is movably connected to the grippers 22 via a separate cylinder 21, the clamping of products of different sizes can be achieved by controlling the input or output of the medium within each cylinder 21.

[0034] The multi-station synchronous rotation mechanism designed in this application can simultaneously clamp multiple products and drive the clamped products to rotate synchronously by the same angle. It can be applied to product processing and inspection stages in automated production lines, improving production efficiency and processing accuracy. For example, in the quality inspection of electronic atomizing devices, this mechanism can clamp multiple electronic atomizing devices and synchronously rotate them to a predetermined angle for photographic inspection, reducing manual handling and adjustment time and lowering production costs. Furthermore, this multi-station synchronous rotation mechanism has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is easily integrated into existing production lines, enhancing the overall level of automation.

[0035] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the connector 23 is a hollow tubular structure that inserts into the cylinder 21. The cylinder 21 can be fluidly connected to an external air source through a through-hole and the connector 23. This design allows an external air source to supply air or liquid to the cylinder 21 through the connector 23 and the through-hole of the cylinder 21 to meet the medium supply required for the operation of the cylinder 21, thereby driving the gripper 22 to clamp or release the product. In addition, the tubular connector 23 also has a certain structural strength, can withstand a large driving torque, and ensures the stability and reliability of the transmission.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the driving component 30 in the embodiment. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A partially exploded view of the multi-station synchronous rotation mechanism in this embodiment. In some embodiments, the drive assembly 30 includes a rack 32 and a plurality of gears 31. The number of gears 31 is the same as the number of clamping assemblies 20 and corresponds one-to-one. The gears 31 are fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting members 23. The rack 32 is movably connected to the mounting bracket 10, and the rack 32 meshes with the plurality of gears 31 to drive the plurality of gears 31 to rotate during the movement of the rack 32. The rotation axis of the gear 31 coincides with the center line of the corresponding connecting member 23 to avoid eccentric rotation and ensure stability during rotation.

[0037] The drive assembly 30 also includes a drive element 33, which is a linear drive mechanism and includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or lead screw. The drive assembly 30 also includes a guide rail 36, which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 10. A rack 32 is slidably connected to the guide rail 36 and has a clearance fit with the guide rail 36. The drive element 33 is connected to the rack 32 to drive the rack 32 to slide along the guide rail 36. During the movement of the rack 32, it drives the multiple gears 31 meshing with the rack 32 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping assembly 20 to rotate.

[0038] Please see Figure 5 Furthermore, the mounting bracket 10 is provided with a positioning element 37, which movably abuts against the rack 32 to limit the range of movement of the rack 32, thereby further limiting the rotation angle of each gear 31 and the clamping assembly 20. Specifically, the rack 32 is designed to stop moving in its original direction when it contacts the positioning element 37, so that the rotation angle of each clamping assembly 20 can be preset by the arrangement of the positioning element 37. That is, when the rack 32 contacts the positioning element 37, each clamping assembly 20 will rotate to the preset target angle, thereby ensuring the accuracy of rotation.

[0039] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 1A side view of the multi-station synchronous rotation mechanism in the embodiment. Furthermore, the clamping components 20 are arranged in two rows of gripper 22 modules. Similarly, two racks 32 and two driving members 33 are correspondingly provided. The two rows of gripper 22 modules are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 10 to achieve simultaneous clamping operations on both sides, improving clamping efficiency. Each clamping component 20 in each row of gripper 22 modules is connected to the corresponding rack 32 and driving member 33, meaning that each clamping component 20 in each row of gripper 22 modules can rotate synchronously.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 10 includes a first support member 11 and a second support member 12 spaced apart, the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 are fixedly connected, each connector 23 passes through the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 and is rotatably connected to the first support member 11 and the second support member 12, and each gear 31 is disposed between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12.

[0041] Furthermore, the first support member 11 is disposed between the second support member 12 and the cylinder 21 of each clamping assembly 20. Each connecting member 23 is provided with a limiting member 14, which abuts against the side of the second support member 12 opposite to the first support member 11. The limiting member 14 can be threadedly connected to the corresponding connecting member 23. Each clamping assembly 20 is mounted on the mounting frame 10 via the corresponding connecting member 23 and the limiting member 14. The limiting member 14 not only ensures the stability of the connecting member 23 on the mounting frame 10 but also simplifies the installation and disassembly of the clamping assembly 20. When it is necessary to adjust or replace the clamping assembly 20, simply rotating the limiting member 14 easily loosens or tightens the connecting member 23, thus facilitating the maintenance and management of the clamping assembly 20.

[0042] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 10 further includes a third support member 13, which is located on the side of the second support member 12 opposite to the first support member 11. The third support member 13 is equipped with a lifting assembly 40, which has a movable member 41 fixedly connected to the second support member 12. The lifting assembly 40 can be a linear drive mechanism, including but not limited to cylinders and hydraulic cylinders. By setting the lifting assembly 40, multiple clamping assemblies 20 can be moved as a whole for further processing, assembly, or testing.

[0043] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of the drive assembly 30 in another embodiment. The following describes another specific embodiment of the drive assembly 30 of this application. In some embodiments, the drive assembly 30 includes an operating member 34 and multiple connecting rods 35. The operating member 34 is movably connected to the mounting frame 10. The number of connecting rods 35 is the same as the number of clamping assemblies 20 and corresponds one-to-one. The connecting rods 35 are fixedly connected to corresponding connecting members 23, and each connecting rod 35 is rotatably and slidably connected to the operating member 34. The movement of the operating member 34 is transmitted to each clamping assembly 20 through the connecting rods 35, achieving synchronous rotation of the clamping assemblies 20. The rotatable and slidable connection design between the connecting rods 35 and the operating member 34 ensures the flexibility and accuracy of motion transmission. The operating member 34 is connected to a drive member 33, which can be a linear drive mechanism, including but not limited to cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or lead screws.

[0044] It should be noted that the rotation mentioned above can be understood as two moving parts moving in a circle around a rotation axis, while sliding can be understood as two moving parts moving in parallel, with only changes in displacement and no changes in angle. However, two moving parts rotating and sliding means that the two moving parts have both changes in displacement and changes in angle, and this combination of sliding and rotation can also be called rolling.

[0045] Furthermore, the clamping components 20 are arranged into two rows of gripper 22 modules, which are located on opposite sides of the operating member 34. Each clamping component 20 in each row of gripper 22 modules is equally spaced. In this embodiment, the operating member 34 can simultaneously interact with both rows of gripper 22 modules without separate control, thus simplifying the operation process. In addition, since the two rows of gripper 22 modules are located on opposite sides of the operating member 34, this layout makes the structure more stable, avoiding instability caused by excessive load on one side.

[0046] In some embodiments, the operating member 34 is provided with a trajectory groove 341 corresponding to each connecting rod 35. The trajectory grooves 341 have the same shape, and the end of each connecting rod 35 away from the connecting member 23 is rotatably and slidably disposed in the corresponding trajectory groove 341. The trajectory groove 341 can be straight or arc-shaped. When the operating member 34 moves, the connecting rod 35 slides and rotates along the corresponding trajectory groove 341. This combined motion enables the clamping assembly 20 to rotate according to a predetermined trajectory and angle, thereby meeting the requirement of rotating the workpiece at a preset angle.

[0047] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 30 may also employ a worm gear mechanism to achieve synchronous rotation of the multiple clamping assemblies 20. Specifically, the drive assembly 30 includes a worm and multiple turbines (not shown), the number of which is the same as and corresponds one-to-one with the number of clamping assemblies 20. The turbines are fixedly connected to corresponding connectors 23. The worm is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 10, and the worm meshes with the multiple turbines to drive the multiple turbines to rotate during the movement of the worm. The rotation axis of each turbine coincides with the center line of the corresponding connector 23 to avoid eccentric rotation, and the rotation axis of each turbine is perpendicular to the rotation circumference of the worm.

[0048] The above description is only a part of the embodiments of this application and does not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made based on the content of this application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of this application.
