Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal product shell processing technology, specifically to a flipping device for processing metal product shells. Background Technology

[0002] Metal product casing processing refers to a series of operations such as grinding, drilling, and painting on the casing of metal products. Therefore, when processing the casing of metal products, it is usually necessary to flip the casing to improve work efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, most flipping devices are set on workbenches at a fixed height, which makes it impossible to adjust the height of the flipping device. This not only makes it unsuitable for different workers, but also limits the flipping and processing of metal product shells, making the flipping device inconvenient to use and reducing the efficiency of processing metal product shells.

[0004] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN218426976U, describe a flipping device for processing metal product shells. This device includes a base and a flipping assembly. The top of the base has a lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the flipping assembly. The lifting mechanism includes two support frames symmetrically fixed on both sides of the top of the base. Each support frame has a lead screw rotatably mounted inside its cavity. A nut seat is threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw. A translation rod is fixedly connected between the two nut seats, and the flipping assembly is fixedly mounted on the top of the translation rod. This utility model, through the lifting mechanism consisting of support frames, lead screws, and nut seats located between the base and the clamping mechanism, can adjust the height of the flipping assembly on the base. This makes the flipping assembly more user-friendly, improving the convenience of processing metal product shells, increasing work efficiency, and enhancing the applicability of the flipping device.

[0005] Some metal products have irregular shapes in their outer shells. When they are fixed by clamping from both sides, the outer shells are prone to loosening during processing.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flipping device for processing the outer shell of metal products that can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0008] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted: a flipping device for processing metal product shells, comprising: a frame, a mounting frame located above the frame, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the metal product shell;

[0009] The fixing mechanism includes: a clamping cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the mounting base. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to a clamping plate. A limit sleeve is installed between the clamping plate and the mounting base. A clamping block is fixedly installed on the clamping plate. Flexible suction cups are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the clamping block on the clamping plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping plate is provided with an air extraction hole aligned with the flexible suction cup, and the diameter of the air extraction hole is smaller than the opening diameter at the bottom of the flexible suction cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the other end of the air extraction hole is connected to the air inlet of the negative pressure pump, which is fixedly mounted on the clamping plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping side of the clamping block is an arc surface.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a flipping device for processing metal product shells, which clamps the metal product shell with a clamping block and adsorbs it onto the metal product shell with a flexible suction cup. Then, the air in the flexible suction cup is extracted by a negative pressure pump, making the flexible suction cup more firmly attached to the metal product shell and improving the stability of the processing.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a flipping device for processing metal product shells, comprising: a frame 1, a mounting bracket 5 located above the frame 1, a fixing mechanism 3 for fixing the metal product shell, and a flipping mechanism for flipping the metal product shell.

[0022] A lifting cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 5. A limit rod is also fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 5. The limit rod slides and passes through the top of the frame 1. The height of the mounting frame 5 can be adjusted by the lifting cylinder 4, thereby adjusting the position height of the metal product shell, which facilitates the processing device to process the metal product shell.

[0023] The fixing mechanism 3 includes: a clamping cylinder 32, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 31. A clamping plate 34 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 32. A limit sleeve 33 is installed between the clamping plate 34 and the mounting base 31. A clamping block 35 is fixedly mounted on the clamping plate 34. The clamping side of the clamping block 35 is arc-shaped, allowing it to clamp the arc-shaped surface of the metal product shell, facilitating the fixing of irregularly shaped metal product shells. The clamping block 35 is located on the upper and lower sides of the clamping plate 34. A flexible suction cup 36 is fixedly installed. The edge of the suction cup opening of the flexible suction cup 36 is provided with a sealing ring. When the flexible suction cup 36 contacts the metal product shell, the sealing ring can effectively seal the end of the flexible suction cup 36 that contacts the metal product shell, avoiding gaps at the contact position. The clamping plate 34 is provided with an air extraction hole aligned with the flexible suction cup 36. The diameter of the air extraction hole is smaller than the opening diameter at the bottom of the flexible suction cup 36. The other end of the air extraction hole is connected to the air inlet of the negative pressure pump 37, which is fixedly installed on the clamping plate 34.

[0024] The negative pressure pump 37 is a miniature negative pressure pump, and the preferred air pump is the "Zhirong Fan ZR370-03PM 3.7V".

[0025] The clamping cylinder 32 is activated, and the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 32 pushes the clamping plate 34 to move. The clamping plate 34 drives the clamping block 35 to move. The clamping block 35 clamps the metal product shell, and the flexible suction cup 36 is adsorbed onto the metal product shell. Then, the air in the flexible suction cup 36 is extracted by the negative pressure pump 37, making the flexible suction cup 36 more firmly attached to the metal product shell and improving the stability of the processing.

[0026] The flipping mechanism includes: an adjusting cylinder 21, the bottom of which is rotatably mounted on a fixed frame 2, which is fixedly mounted on a mounting frame 5; a deflecting rod 22 is hinged to the top of the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder 21, the other end of which is hinged to one end of a deflecting frame 25; a first gear 23 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the deflecting frame 25, the first gear 23 meshes with a second gear 24, the second gear 24 is fixedly mounted on a rotating rod 26, the rotating rod 26 is rotatably mounted on a frame 1, and a mounting base 31 is mounted on the other end of the rotating rod 26.

[0027] Furthermore, the diameter of the first gear 23 is more than three times the diameter of the second gear 24; the angle that the first gear 23 can rotate is limited by the mutual obstruction between the deflection rod 22 and the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder 21, resulting in the first gear 23 being able to rotate at an angle of less than 180°, while the second gear 24 is driven to rotate by the first gear 23, and the second gear 24 can rotate at an angle of more than 360°, thereby enabling the metal product shell to rotate 360°.

[0028] When it is necessary to flip the outer shell of the metal product, the adjusting cylinder 21 is activated. The piston rod of the adjusting cylinder 21 pushes the deflecting rod 22 to deflect. The deflecting rod 22 drives the deflecting frame 25 to deflect. The deflecting frame 25 drives the first gear 23 to rotate. The first gear 23 drives the second gear 24 to rotate. The second gear 24 drives the rotating rod 26 to rotate. The rotating rod 26 drives the fixing mechanism 3 to rotate, thereby flipping the outer shell of the metal product. This makes it easy to adjust the angle of the flipping of the outer shell of the metal product.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] The metal product shell is clamped and fixed by the clamping block 35, and the flexible suction cup 36 is adsorbed on the surface of the metal product shell. Then, the air in the flexible suction cup 36 is extracted by the negative pressure pump 37, and a negative pressure environment is created in the flexible suction cup 36, so that the flexible suction cup 36 is adsorbed and fixed on the metal product shell. This can fix the irregular metal product shell. During the flipping process of the metal product shell, it can prevent the metal product shell from shaking. Moreover, by adjusting the piston rod of the cylinder 21, the deflection rod 22 is pushed to deflect, so that the deflection frame 25 can drive the two first gears 23 to rotate, and then the two second gears 24 respectively drive the two fixing mechanisms 3 to deflect, improving the accuracy of the flipping angle adjustment.

[0031] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
