Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of VIN marking machine technology, and in particular to a driving device for a VIN marking machine. Background Technology

[0002] The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a crucial identifier for a vehicle, containing key information such as the manufacturer, year of manufacture, model, body style and code, engine code, and assembly location. During the vehicle manufacturing process, the VIN code must be accurately and clearly marked on a specific part of the vehicle.

[0003] Currently, the drive mechanisms of VIN marking machines have several shortcomings. Regarding height adjustment, while cylinders are used instead of servo motors to reduce costs and increase efficiency, the lack of an effective limiting mechanism during the upward movement of the marking machine makes it prone to exceeding safe limits. Furthermore, in terms of angle adjustment, traditional methods are not flexible enough to meet the diverse marking angle requirements of different vehicle models and marking positions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a driving device for a VIN marking machine is provided, comprising:

[0005] The Z-axis drive module includes a first fixed frame, a pair of first drive cylinders, a first drive frame, a first limit rod, and a pair of stopper cylinders. The pair of first drive cylinders are mounted on the first fixed frame, and their output ends are connected to the first drive frame, which can drive the first drive frame to move along the Z-axis. The first drive frame is slidably connected to the first fixed frame to ensure the smooth movement of the first drive frame in the Z-axis direction. The first limit rod is fixedly connected to the first drive frame. The pair of stopper cylinders are mounted opposite each other on the first fixed frame to limit the maximum rising position of the first limit rod. When the first drive frame rises to a certain position, the stopper cylinders can limit the maximum rising position of the first limit rod to prevent the first drive frame from rising excessively.

[0006] A rotating module is located at the lower end of the first drive frame and can move up and down with the first drive frame.

[0007] An angle adjustment module is connected to the output end of the rotary module and is used to adjust the cutting angle of the marking machine. The rotary module can drive the angle adjustment module to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating module includes: a rotating drive mechanism and a rotating plate;

[0009] The output end of the rotary drive mechanism is connected to the rotary plate, which can drive the rotary plate to rotate.

[0010] The rotating plate is connected to the angle adjustment module and can drive the angle adjustment module to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, the angle adjustment module includes: a first drive mechanism, a first drive rod, a second fixing frame, and an angle adjustment plate;

[0012] The second fixed frame is connected to the rotating plate;

[0013] The first drive mechanism is connected to the second fixed frame;

[0014] One end of the first drive rod is connected to the output end of the first drive mechanism, and the other end is hinged to one end of the angle adjustment plate.

[0015] The other end of the angle adjustment plate is hinged to the second fixed frame.

[0016] Furthermore, the first drive mechanism is hinged to the second fixed frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism is a cylinder.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes: an inclined block, the top of which is detachably connected to the rotating plate and the bottom of which is detachably connected to the second fixed frame, for determining the initial tilt angle of the second fixed frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the angle of inclination of the bottom slope of the inclined block is 10 to 20 degrees.

[0020] According to the driving device of the VIN marking machine in this embodiment of the utility model, the Z-axis driving module drives the first driving frame to move in the Z-axis direction through the first driving cylinder, and uses the stop cylinder and the first limit rod for limiting, effectively ensuring the positional accuracy of the marking machine in the Z-axis direction and avoiding marking position deviation caused by excessive movement. The rotation module can drive the angle adjustment module and the marking machine to rotate in the horizontal direction. The angle adjustment module can flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the marking machine. Combined with the setting of the initial tilt angle by the tilt block, the marking machine can achieve multi-dimensional and multi-angle marking, meeting the diverse needs of different vehicle models and marking positions. The tilt block adopts a detachable connection, which is convenient for installation, disassembly and replacement, reducing the maintenance cost and difficulty of the equipment.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0029] First, combine Figures 1-6 The present invention describes a driving device for a VIN marking machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used for driving a VIN marking machine and has a wide range of applications.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the driving device of the VIN marking machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0031] Z-axis drive module 1 includes a first fixed frame 11, a pair of first drive cylinders 12, a first drive frame 13, a first limiting rod 14, and a pair of stopper cylinders 15. The pair of first drive cylinders 12 are mounted on the first fixed frame 11, and their output ends are connected to the first drive frame 13, which can drive the first drive frame 13 to move along the Z-axis. The first drive frame 13 is slidably connected to the first fixed frame 11 to ensure the smooth movement of the first drive frame 13 in the Z-axis direction. The first limiting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the first drive frame 13. The pair of stopper cylinders 15 are mounted opposite each other on the first fixed frame 11 to limit the maximum rising position of the first limiting rod 14. When the first drive frame 13 rises to a certain position, the stopper cylinders 15 can limit the maximum rising position of the first limiting rod 14 to prevent the first drive frame 13 from rising excessively.

[0032] Rotating module 2 is located at the lower end of the first drive frame 13 and can move up and down with the first drive frame 13.

[0033] Angle adjustment module 3 is connected to the output end of rotary module 2 and is used to adjust the cutting angle of the marking machine. Rotary module 2 can drive angle adjustment module 3 to rotate, thereby realizing multi-angle adjustment of the marking machine in the horizontal direction.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating module 2 includes: a rotating drive mechanism 21 and a rotating plate 22;

[0035] The output end of the rotary drive mechanism 21 is connected to the rotary plate 22, which can drive the rotary plate 22 to rotate.

[0036] The rotating plate 22 is connected to the angle adjustment module 3 and can drive the angle adjustment module 3 to rotate.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism 21 is a rotary cylinder or a servo motor.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the angle adjustment module 3 includes: a first drive mechanism 31, a first drive rod 32, a second fixing frame 33, and an angle adjustment plate 34;

[0039] The second fixed frame 33 is connected to the rotating plate 22;

[0040] The first drive mechanism 31 is connected to the second fixed frame 33;

[0041] One end of the first drive rod 32 is connected to the output end of the first drive mechanism 31, and the other end is hinged to one end of the angle adjustment plate 34.

[0042] The other end of the angle adjustment plate 34 is hinged to the second fixing frame 33.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 31 is hinged to the second fixed frame 33. When the first drive mechanism 31 drives the first drive rod 32 to move, the first drive mechanism 31 will swing at a certain angle.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 31 is preferably a cylinder. When the first driving mechanism 31 is activated, the first driving rod 32 drives the angle adjustment plate 34 to rotate around the hinge point with the second fixed frame 33, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the marking machine.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 6 As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes: an inclined block 4, the top of which is detachably connected to the rotating plate 22 and the bottom of which is detachably connected to the second fixing frame 33, for determining the initial tilt angle of the second fixing frame 33.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the tilt angle of the bottom slope of the tilt block 4 is 10~20 degrees. By replacing the tilt block 4 with different tilt angles, the initial tilt angle of the second fixed frame 33 and the marking machine can be adjusted to meet different marking requirements.

[0047] Working Principle: When the position of the marking machine in the Z-axis direction needs to be adjusted, a pair of first drive cylinders 12 are activated. The piston rods of the first drive cylinders 12 extend or retract, driving the first drive frame 13 connected to it to slide along the Z-axis direction on the first fixed frame 11. During the movement of the first drive frame 13, the first limit rod 14 fixedly connected to it also moves accordingly. When the first drive frame 13 rises to the preset maximum position, the piston rods of a pair of stop cylinders 15 extend, preventing the first limit rod 14 from rising further, thereby limiting the maximum rising position of the first drive frame 13 and ensuring the positional accuracy of the marking machine in the Z-axis direction. When the height of the marking machine needs to be lowered, the piston rods of the first drive cylinders 12 retract, the first drive frame 13 descends, and the piston rods of the stop cylinders 15 retract, making room for the descent of the first limit rod 14.

[0048] The rotating module 2 is located at the lower end of the first drive frame 13 and moves up and down as the first drive frame 13 moves in the Z-axis direction. When the marking machine needs to be rotated horizontally, the rotating drive mechanism 21 is activated. The output end of the rotating drive mechanism 21 drives the rotating plate 22 to rotate. Since the rotating plate 22 is connected to the angle adjustment module 3, the angle adjustment module 3 and the marking machine will also rotate together with the rotating plate 22, thereby realizing multi-angle adjustment of the marking machine in the horizontal direction.

[0049] When the tilt angle of the marking machine needs to be adjusted, the first drive mechanism 31 (cylinder) is activated. The piston rod of the first drive mechanism 31 extends or retracts, driving the angle adjustment plate 34 to rotate around the hinge point with the second fixed frame 33 via the first drive rod 32. Since the marking machine is connected to the angle adjustment plate 34, the rotation of the angle adjustment plate 34 will cause the marking machine to tilt, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the marking machine. During the adjustment process, the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the first drive mechanism 31 can be controlled according to actual needs to precisely control the tilt angle of the marking machine.

[0050] Above, refer to Figures 1-6 The driving device of the VIN marking machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The Z-axis driving module 1 drives the first driving frame 13 to move in the Z-axis direction through the first driving cylinder 12, and uses the stop cylinder 15 and the first limit rod 14 for limiting, which effectively ensures the positional accuracy of the marking machine in the Z-axis direction and avoids marking position deviation caused by excessive movement. The rotation module 2 can drive the angle adjustment module 3 and the marking machine to rotate in the horizontal direction. The angle adjustment module 3 can flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the marking machine. Combined with the tilt block 4 for setting the initial tilt angle, the marking machine can achieve multi-dimensional and multi-angle marking to meet the diverse needs of different vehicle models and marking positions. The tilt block 4 adopts a detachable connection, which is convenient for installation, disassembly and replacement, reducing the maintenance cost and difficulty of the equipment.
