Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of streamlined vehicle technology, and in particular to a mechanism suitable for automatic steering of streamlined vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the different directions and locations requiring processing, some parts need to be turned midway through processing. Therefore, a carrier steering mechanism is often used. The carrier steering mechanism can turn the carrier on the assembly line, making it easier for the carrier to turn and run, and realizing the functional requirements of changing the carrier from the X direction to the Y direction or vice versa. The steering mechanism is mostly composed of a conveying mechanism and a steering mechanism. The conveying mechanism transports the carrier to the steering mechanism, and after the steering mechanism completes the turning of the carrier, the conveying mechanism will transport the carrier to the next process step again. However, the existing steering mechanisms have the following defects when in use: they can only clamp and turn carriers of fixed size, can only adapt to one production line, and cannot meet the clamping and turning of carriers of different sizes according to production needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mechanism suitable for automatic steering of streamlined vehicles, which effectively solves the problem that the existing automatic steering mechanisms cannot be applied to vehicles of different sizes.

[0004] The technical solution is as follows: This utility model includes two vertically distributed transfer mechanisms and a steering mechanism located between the two transfer mechanisms. The transfer mechanism includes a support frame with multiple sets of track supports on the support frame. Guide columns are provided between the track supports on both sides, and movable blocks are provided on the guide columns. A fixed support plate is provided on one side of the track support, and a movable support plate is provided on each of the multiple movable blocks. Multiple guide shafts are provided on the fixed support plate and the movable support plate, and the multiple guide shafts are connected by a belt. The steering mechanism includes a profile frame with a left-right linear rail on the front side of the profile frame. A horizontal base plate that can move left and right is slidably connected to the linear rail. A vertical base plate that can move up and down is provided at the lower end of the horizontal base plate. A rotary cylinder is provided at the lower end of the vertical base plate, and a vacuum suction cup is provided at the lower end of the rotary cylinder.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can reverse the vehicle by 90 degrees or 180 degrees according to production needs, and it can reverse the vehicles of different models and sizes.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the implementations of the base model disclosed below.

[0013] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0014] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Depend on Figures 1 to 4The present invention includes two vertically distributed transfer mechanisms and a steering mechanism located between the two transfer mechanisms. The transfer mechanism includes a support frame 1, on which multiple sets of track supports 2 are provided. Guide columns 3 are provided between the track supports 2 on both sides. Movable moving blocks 4 are provided on the guide columns 3. A fixed support plate 5 is provided on one side of the track support 2. A moving support plate 6 is provided on each of the multiple moving blocks 4. Multiple guide shafts 7 are provided on the fixed support plate 5 and the moving support plate 6 respectively. The multiple guide shafts 7 are connected by a belt 8. The steering mechanism includes a profile frame 9. A left-right linear rail 10 is provided on the front side of the profile frame 9. A horizontal base plate 11 that can move left and right is slidably connected to the linear rail 10. A vertical base plate 12 that can move up and down is provided at the lower end of the horizontal base plate 11. A rotary cylinder 13 is provided at the lower end of the vertical base plate 12. A vacuum suction cup 14 is provided at the lower end of the rotary cylinder 13.

[0016] In order to move the belt 8, the lower ends of the movable support plate 6 and the fixed support plate 5 are respectively provided with stepper motors 15 that can cooperate with the belt 8.

[0017] To enable the horizontal base plate 11 to move left and right, the profile frame 9 is provided with a horizontal rodless cylinder 16 connected to the horizontal base plate 11.

[0018] In order to allow the vertical base plate 12 to move up and down, the vertical base plate 12 is slidably connected to the horizontal base plate 11, and the upper end of the horizontal base plate 11 is provided with a vertical cylinder 17 connected to the vertical base plate 12.

[0019] For ease of use, the profile frame 9 is equipped with an electrical control box 18 located below the vacuum suction cup 14.

[0020] To prevent the vehicle from moving excessively, the fixed support plate 5 is equipped with a positioning sensor, and the fixed support plate 5 is equipped with a vehicle blocking post located above the positioning sensor.

[0021] To protect the mechanism, protective covers 19 are provided on the support frame 1 and the profile frame 9 respectively.

[0022] To facilitate handling abnormal situations of the vehicle, the protective cover 19 is provided with a manual abnormality handling port 20.

[0023] When using this utility model, the distance between the movable support plate 6 and the fixed support plate 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the carrier. After adjusting to a suitable distance, the movable support plate 6 is fixed again, and the stepper motor 15 is turned on. The stepper motor 15 rotates and drives the belt 8 to move on multiple guide shafts 7, thereby transporting the carrier located on the fixed support plate 5 and the belt 8 of the movable support plate 6 from front to back. When the carrier on the belt 8 moves backward a certain distance, it contacts the positioning sensor and stops moving backward. At this time, the vertical cylinder 17 drives the vacuum suction cup 14 to move downward and pick up the carrier located directly below and move it upward again, taking the carrier off the belt 8.

[0024] At this time, the rotary cylinder 13 is activated, rotating the carrier gripped by the vacuum suction cup 14 by 90 degrees or 180 degrees. After the rotation is completed, the rotary cylinder 13 stops rotating. At this time, the horizontal rodless cylinder 16 is activated, driving the horizontal base plate 11 to move to the right, and then driving the carrier that has already turned to move to the right. After moving to the right for a distance, the carrier is located between the fixed support plate 5 and the movable support plate 6 on the rear side. At this time, the vertical cylinder 17 drives the carrier to move downward. After moving downward for a distance, the carrier is located between the belts 8 on both sides. Then, the vacuum suction cup 14 releases its grip on the carrier. At this time, the carrier is completely located on the belts 8 on both sides. The rear stepper motor 15 is activated, and begins to drive the carrier located on the belts 8 on both sides to move to the right to achieve transfer.

[0025] Once the suction cup releases its hold on the carrier, the transverse base plate 11 moves to the left again, returning to its initial position. At this point, when the carrier on the current side is transported to the area below the vacuum suction cup 14, it can move downwards again and once again pick up and reverse the direction of the carrier.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the vacuum suction cup, belt, stepper motor, etc. provided can reverse the carrier by 90 degrees or 180 degrees according to production needs, and can reverse carriers of different models and sizes. Compared with the traditional reversing machine, which can only reverse carriers of a single size, this model has wide applicability. The structure is simple, the concept is novel, it is easy to use, and it is highly practical.

[0027] It should be noted that, depending on the implementation needs, the various components described in the embodiments of this utility model can be split into more components, or two or more components or parts of components can be combined into new components to achieve the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0028] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
