Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of online production technology of flywheel housings, and in particular to a flywheel housing gripping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The basic structure of the flywheel housing is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, it is a key connecting component between the engine and the transmission, mainly used to encapsulate the flywheel assembly and support peripheral components such as the crankcase and starter. On the production line, the flywheel housing is typically transported by conveyor belt. The processing of the flywheel housing involves multiple steps such as gluing and cleaning. The conveyor belts for each step are not the same, requiring significant manpower and resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, a gripping mechanism is needed to pick up the flywheel housing from one conveyor belt and transfer it to another. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a flywheel housing gripping mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A flywheel housing gripping mechanism includes a slide table and a conveyor table. The conveyor table is used to transport various flywheel housing bodies. A platform is provided on the slide table along its length direction, allowing it to slide back and forth linearly.

[0006] The platform has vertical fixed supports along its edges on both sides of the front half in the direction of travel.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed bracket is designed as an L-shaped structural plate, with the bottom end of the vertical plate of the fixed bracket fixed to the platform, and the horizontal plate of the fixed bracket suspended above the conveyor table.

[0008] Two clamping blocks are symmetrically arranged between the fixed supports. Each clamping block has a fixed shaft at its rotation fulcrum, allowing it to be rotatably mounted between the horizontal plates of the two fixed supports via these fixed shafts. Each clamping block is rotatably connected to a corresponding fixed support on both sides. A coaxially rotating swing arm is mounted at the rotation fulcrum of each clamping block. A fixed column is mounted on each fixed support, with its column extending forward and simultaneously housed within a waist-shaped groove at the movable end of each swing arm.

[0009] The flywheel housing body is provided with an outwardly protruding mounting disc around its wheel surface edge. The mounting disc is supported by the support plates on both sides. The bottom edges of the opposite sides of the clamping blocks on both sides are provided with support plates.

[0010] A cylinder is rotatably mounted on the rear half of the platform in its forward direction. A pneumatic rod is provided at the output end of the cylinder. A connecting arm that rotates coaxially is sleeved on one of the clamping blocks at its rotation center. The connecting arm swings down and its lower end is connected to the front end of the pneumatic rod. The cylinder pushes the corresponding clamping block to rotate around its fulcrum.

[0011] In a preferred technical solution, the swing arms on both sides are arranged opposite each other, and the opposite ends of the two swing arms are staggered.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The gripping mechanism proposed in this solution solves the problem of low flow efficiency of flywheel housings between processes. By achieving automatic gripping through a mechanical transmission structure, it can reduce manual intervention and alleviate the burden of manual operation, which can significantly improve the gripping efficiency of flywheel housings and ensure the rapid flow of flywheel housings on the production line. It has high operability and practicality and is suitable for widespread use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2-3 A flywheel housing gripping mechanism includes a slide table 1 and a conveyor table 2. The conveyor table 2 is used to convey various flywheel housing bodies 3. The slide table 1 has a linear sliding plate 4 arranged along its length direction, wherein:

[0020] The platform 4 has vertical fixed supports 7 along its edges on both sides of the front half in the direction of travel, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2As shown, the fixed bracket 7 is designed as an L-shaped structural plate, and the bottom of the vertical plate of the fixed bracket 7 is fixed on the platform 4, while the horizontal plate of the fixed bracket 7 is suspended above the conveyor table 2.

[0021] Two clamping blocks 9 are provided between the fixed brackets 7. The clamping blocks 9 are symmetrically arranged, and their two sides are rotatably connected to the corresponding fixed brackets 7. Further details are needed: (Refer to the attached document). Figure 2 It can be seen that a fixed shaft 8 is provided at the rotation fulcrum of the clamping block 9, and the clamping block 9 is rotatably installed between the horizontal plates of the two fixed brackets 7 through the fixed shafts 8 provided on both sides.

[0022] The clamping block 9 has a swing arm 10 that rotates coaxially at its rotation fulcrum. The fixed bracket 7 has a fixed column 12, the column of which extends forward and is simultaneously housed in the waist-shaped groove 101 opened at the movable end of the two swing arms 10. Here, the swing arms 10 on both sides are arranged opposite each other, and the opposite ends of the two swing arms 10 are staggered.

[0023] A cylinder 5 is rotatably mounted on the rear half of the platform 4 in its forward direction. A pneumatic rod 6 is provided at the output end of the cylinder 5. A connecting arm 11 that rotates coaxially is sleeved on one of the clamping blocks 9 at its rotation center. The connecting arm 11 swings down and its lower end is connected to the front end of the pneumatic rod 6. The cylinder 5 pushes the connected clamping block 9 to rotate around its fulcrum.

[0024] The bottom edges of the clamping blocks 9 on both sides are provided with support plates 13; the flywheel housing body 3 is provided with an outwardly protruding mounting disc 31 around its wheel surface edge, and the mounting disc 31 is supported by the support plates 13 on both sides.

[0025] The flywheel housing body 3 is placed on the conveyor table 2, and the flywheel housing body 3 is conveyed using the conveyor table 2. During the conveying process, the platform 4 on the slide table 1 slides towards the conveyor table 2, and ensures that the horizontal plate at the top of the fixed bracket 7 is just suspended above the conveyor table 2. After the position is calibrated, the flywheel housing body 3 being conveyed can just pass between the two clamping blocks 9 without being affected by the position of the clamping blocks 9.

[0026] When it is necessary to grasp the flywheel housing body 3, as shown in the attached document Figure 2As shown, starting cylinder 5 controls the connecting arm 11 to rotate around the fixed axis 8 of the fulcrum. At this time, the right-side clamping block 9 and the swing arm 10 rotating coaxially on the clamping block 9 will rotate synchronously. Using a fixed column 12, which is simultaneously inserted into the waist-shaped groove 101 at the front end of the two swing arms 10, the left-side swing arm 10 will rotate synchronously in the opposite direction due to the swing of the right-side swing arm 10. The final effect is that the clamping blocks 9 on both sides rotate synchronously in opposite directions. Therefore, the mounting wheel 31 of the flywheel housing body 3 can be supported by the two left and right support plates 13, so that the flywheel housing body 3 can be steadily lifted from the conveyor table 2 and finally picked up. When the flywheel housing body 3 flows to the designated conveyor belt, it is only necessary to control the cylinder 5 to reverse the action to release the clamped flywheel housing body 3, which is simpler to operate and more efficient.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
