[0002] Automotive powertrain mounts are essential components connecting the powertrain (motor and reducer) to the vehicle frame or body. Their main functions are to support and position the powertrain and isolate vibration transmission. Injection-molded parts are also a crucial component of automotive mount brackets; to enhance strength, some injection-molded parts require embedded metal components.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, during the injection molding process, the aluminum inner tube 15 needs to be embedded in the injection molded part. The inner hole of the inner tube 15 has two through grooves 1501. Before injection molding, the inner tube 15 needs to be placed into the mold of the injection molding machine in a fixed direction.

[0004] In existing technologies, the inner tube is mainly oriented manually by visual inspection, which is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly reducing work efficiency and increasing the company's labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the clamping assembly also includes a finger cylinder, which is connected to the side of the support. Two grippers are connected to the finger cylinder, and a limit rod is connected to one of the grippers.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the top of the directional rod is shaped like a frustum.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-5 As shown, an orienting mechanism for a material preparation device for an inner tube embedded part of an automotive suspension bracket injection molded component includes a support 1 and several rotating components, a clamping component, an orienting rod 3, and a detection component. The rotating components are connected to the support 1, with a turntable 2 at the top. The orienting rod 3 is connected to the turntable 2, and an elastic block 4 is connected to the side of the orienting rod 3. The clamping component is connected to the support 1, and the grippers 5 of the clamping component are located on both sides of the orienting rod 3. The detection component includes a detection piece 6 and a detection switch 7. The detection piece 6 is connected to the turntable 2, and the detection switch 7 is connected to the support 1. The detection piece 6 can pass through the detection switch 7.

[0027] Support 1 has a rectangular frame structure, and the rotating component, clamping component, directional rod 3 and detection component are all arranged in four sets in a rectangular array.

[0028] The rotating assembly also includes a geared motor 8, which is connected to the support 1; the bottom end of the turntable 2 is connected to a rotating shaft, which is connected to the power output end of the geared motor 8 via a coupling; the top end of the support 1 is connected to a bearing seat 9, and the rotating shaft at the bottom end of the turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 9.

[0029] The bottom end of the directional rod 3 is connected to a flange 10, which is connected to the turntable 2. The side wall of the directional rod 3 is connected to a groove 11, and the elastic block 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the groove 11. A spring is connected to the inside of the elastic block 4, and one end of the spring is connected to the groove 11. The movable end of the elastic block 4 protrudes from the directional rod 3, and the elastic block 4 can be embedded in the groove 11 after being subjected to force.

[0030] The clamping assembly also includes a finger cylinder 12, which is connected to the side of the support 1. Two grippers 5 are connected to the finger cylinder 12. One of the grippers 5 is connected to a limit rod 13. One end of the limit rod 13 is connected to a limit block 14, which is located between the two grippers 5.

[0031] The detection piece 6 is a metal piece, and the detection switch 7 is a slotted photoelectric sensor. The metal piece can pass through the groove of the slotted photoelectric sensor.

[0032] Example 2: This example is a further improvement on Example 1. The main improvement is that in Example 1, the inner tube 15 is prone to misalignment when inserted into the directional rod 3; while in this example, the above-mentioned defect can be avoided. Specifically:

[0033] The top of the directional rod 3 is truncated cone-shaped; in this embodiment, the top of the directional rod 3 is truncated cone-shaped to facilitate the insertion of the inner tube 15 into the directional rod 3.

[0034] Apart from the above, this embodiment is exactly the same as Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0035] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0036] This utility model is used in conjunction with a PLC controller.

[0037] During operation, the operator manually or through automated equipment grabs the inner tube 15 and places it on the directional rod 3. Since each inner tube 15 has a different orientation, some elastic blocks 4 on the directional rod 3 are embedded in the groove 11 under the pressure of the inner hole of the inner tube 15, while some elastic blocks 4 will be directly stuck into the through groove 1501 of the inner tube 1501.

[0038] When the finger cylinder 12 operates, the gripper 5 clamps the inner tube 15; the reduction motor 8 operates, driving the turntable 2 to rotate, and the turntable 2 drives the directional rod 3 to rotate; the inner tube 15 not engaged in the long groove by the elastic block 4 does not rotate. When the elastic block 4 reaches the position of the through groove 1501, under the tension of the spring, the elastic block 4 engages in the long groove, and the directional rod 3 drives the inner tube 15 to overcome the clamping force of the gripper 5 and rotate; while the inner tube 15 with the elastic block 4 directly engaged in the through groove 1501 will also overcome the clamping force of the gripper 5 and rotate under the drive of the directional rod 3. After rotating 180°, when the detection piece 6 reaches the groove of the slotted photoelectric sensor, the reduction motor 8 stops operating. At this time, all the inner tubes 15 are kept in a fixed direction, so that the subsequent robot arm can grab them from the preparation device and place them in the mold.

[0039] In this embodiment, the slotted photoelectric sensor is model C-MSX951N.

[0040] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
