Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a flipping mechanism and belongs to the technical field of automobile manufacturing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A flipping mechanism is a mechanical device used to change the position or orientation of an object, rotating or tilting it from one direction to another. It is widely used in various fields to achieve functions such as flipping, positioning, and conveying objects, thereby meeting different process requirements and improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0003] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the assembly process of injection-molded interior parts is crucial, as its quality and efficiency directly impact the overall vehicle quality and production cycle. During assembly, injection-molded parts often need to be flipped and moved vertically to meet the assembly requirements of different workstations. However, most flipping mechanisms currently used in the industry only have a single flipping function; to achieve both flipping and vertical movement simultaneously, two or more mechanisms need to work in tandem.
[0004] This multi-mechanism combination method exposes numerous drawbacks. From a structural design perspective, the superposition of multiple mechanisms makes the overall mechanical structure exceptionally complex, and the connections and transmission relationships between components become cumbersome. This not only increases the design difficulty but also poses significant challenges to subsequent installation and commissioning. During the manufacturing process, the complex structure means higher machining precision requirements and a greater number of parts, leading to a substantial increase in manufacturing costs.
[0005] In terms of equipment operation, the coordinated work of multiple mechanisms can significantly increase the equipment's response time. Because each mechanism needs to transmit signals and coordinate actions, delays in signal transmission and the connection time between different mechanisms can drastically reduce the efficiency of the entire operation process.
[0006] From a space utilization perspective, the combination of multiple mechanisms undoubtedly occupies a significant amount of production space. In automobile manufacturing workshops, limited space resources need to be rationally planned to improve production efficiency, while large multi-mechanism equipment will compress the space of other workstations and logistics channels, increase the difficulty of workshop layout, and may even affect the smoothness of the overall production process.

[0026] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of this case, through long-term research and extensive practice, has come up with the technical solution of this utility model. The following will further explain the technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles.
[0027] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a flipping mechanism, which includes a flipping platform 1, a fixing plate 2, a limiting groove 6, a limiting block 8, and a lifting assembly 10.
[0028] The tilting platform 1 is at least used to drive the vehicle to tilt, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the flipping platform 1 includes a first connecting shaft 101 and at least two support platforms 102. In this embodiment, the flipping platform 1 includes a first connecting shaft 101 and two support platforms 102. The two support platforms 102 are disposed at both ends of the first connecting shaft 101. The support platforms 102 are connected to the lifting assembly 10. Under the drive of the lifting assembly 10, the support platforms 102 move relative to the fixed plate 2.
[0029] The fixing plates 2 are respectively disposed at both ends of the flipping platform 1, and each fixing plate 2 is provided with a guide groove 3, which is T-shaped; the flipping platform 1 and the fixing plates 2 are connected by a connecting block, one end of the connecting block is connected to the first connecting shaft 101 of the flipping platform 1, and the other end of the connecting block is connected to a rotating block 5, which is rotatably connected to the connecting block. In this embodiment, the rotating block 5 includes a bearing, the rotating block 5 is located in the guide groove 3, and the rotating block 5 moves along the guide groove 3.
[0030] A guide block 11 is provided within the limiting groove 6, and the guide block 11 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 2. Specifically, the guide block 11 includes a first plane 111 and a second plane 112, which are perpendicular to each other. A limiting block 8 is provided on one side of both the first plane 111 and the second plane 112. The guide block 11 is provided with a first guide arc 113 and a second guide arc 114, which are used to guide the rotating block 5 to move and change its direction of movement. Specifically, the first guide arc 113 guides the rotating block 5 to move horizontally, and the second guide arc 114 guides the rotating block 5 to move upward or downward. A first driving component 7 is provided on one side of the guide block 11, and the guide block 11 rotates within the limiting groove 6 under the drive of the first driving component 7.
[0031] To prevent the guide block 11 from rotating in opposite directions within the limiting groove 6, a limiting block 8 is provided within the limiting groove 6. A second driving component 9 is provided on one side of the limiting block 8. The second driving component 9 is used to drive the limiting block 8 closer to or further away from the limiting groove 6, so that the limiting block 8 rotates within the limiting groove 6 and prevents the limiting block 8 from disengaging from the limiting groove 6. The second driving component 9 may include a cylinder or a motor 123 and a lead screw. In this embodiment, the second driving component 9 includes a cylinder. The driving end of the cylinder is connected to the guide block 11, and the fixed end of the cylinder is fixed to the fixing plate 2. The driving ends of the two cylinders extend or retract according to the positions of the two limiting blocks.
[0032] The lifting assembly 10 is connected to the tilting platform 1. The lifting assembly 10 is at least used to drive the tilting platform 1 to lift. Specifically, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 10 includes support columns 121 disposed at both ends of the support platform 102. A second connecting shaft 122 is disposed between two adjacent support columns 121, and the two adjacent second connecting shafts 122 are connected by a coupling. A gear is disposed on the second connecting shaft 122, and a rack is disposed on the support column 121. The rack meshes with the gear. A motor 123 is connected to one of the second connecting shafts 122, and the motor 123 is connected to the second connecting shaft 122 by a coupling. During operation, the motor 123 rotates, driving the connected second connecting shaft 122 to rotate. The other second connecting shafts 122 rotate as the second connecting shaft 122 rotates. When the second connecting shaft 122 rotates, the gear connected to it rotates, and through the meshing of the gear and rack, the support column 121 moves up and down, thereby driving the support platform 102 to move up and down, and thus driving the carrier 100 to move up and down.
[0033] In some implementations, to prevent the support platform 102 from shifting when moving up and down, slide rails 12 are provided on both sides of the fixed plate 2, and sliders 13 are provided on the support platform 102. Under the drive of the lifting assembly 10, the sliders 13 move up and down along the slide rails 12.
[0034] In some implementations, a fixed frame 14 is provided on one side of the lifting assembly 10, and the support column 121 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 14.
[0035] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of 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 changes 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.
